What's the difference between admins, global moderators and moderators?
All of those ranks are staff members, the difference between each being the amount of power they have available to them.
1. Administrators have control over the entire forum, there is nothing they can't do.
2. Global moderators control all boards and have global controls over some aspects on the forum.
3. Moderators have control over boards they have been specifically assigned to. They have no global control.
Why is b-u-m-p censored?
Will all boarders please note that the term 'b-u-m-p' has been made illegal, in accordance with the prophecy. If you wish to 'b-u-m-p' a thread, please do it with a relevant response.
So say we all.
Why did I get a warning?
Because you broke a rule. Usually, the warning will say which rule you have broken. If you want to know anything more, contact a member of staff, but please remember that once a warning is in place, it will not be removed, no matter how much you beg the staff member. You may also get a warning for doing so.
My warning should have expired by now
PM an admin or global moderator and they will remove it for you.
What are the ranks on this forum? How can get I get my rank up?
Clicky ^_^
Will these ranks ever change?
As the overall forum activity increases, the post count differences to advance to a higher rank will change accordingly. This also applies to custom titles (see the next two points below).
The actual rank names themselves may change for Version 2.
What is a custom title?
A custom title is a text/image placed below your rank. The custom title feature will be used if you have a warning.
Can I get a custom title?
You can request a custom title from a global moderator or administrator once you have 700 posts or more. Custom titles may also be given out if you are an asset to a particular board. However, you should never ask for a custom title unless you have 700 posts or more.
Why can't we advertise in the boards?
Because the boards would fill up with advertisements. You have a specific board to advertise in. Not all forums have that. Be grateful for it.
Where else can I advertise?
By using the affiliate system, or by posting your website in your profile (signature and website)
Why don't you have more announcements?
We try to keep the number of announcements to three or fewer. Lots of announcements can often look messy.
Why is one of the boards closed?
A board may be closed for one or more of the following reasons.
1. It is being remodelled.
2. It is being closed for a while due to a lack of activity.
3. The current content inside is irrelevant.
Why wont anybody reply to my thread?
Everybody makes unpopular threads from time to time. If yours are often unpopular, rethink your ideas. Successful threads often involve other members. For instance, the thread could ask questions.
What is this Version 2?
Version 2 will come in the future, when we have a fair amount of activity, experience with the forum and enough suggestions and ideas to upgrade the entire forum. Version 2 will incorporate a new skin, new boards etc.
When will Version 2 come?
Currently, we have no idea. The forum is still fairly new and we will be sticking with Version 1 for the time being. Be patient, enjoy Version 1 while it lasts
Why is so-and-so a moderator, they're not even active!
If a moderator is not active, there will probably be a just reason behind their absence.
Remember as well, that the fact moderators haven't posted in a while may not necessarily mean they haven't been online. They may also have logged on as invisible users.
How do I become invisible?
There is an option available in every member's profile. Being invisible allows you to appear offline to other members, though staff will still be able to see you. Being invisible is no excuse for misbehaviour.
Which staff members were here at the beginning?
Charlie and Kieran.
I want to report someone.
PM an administrator or global moderator.
I have an idea for this F.A.Q
PM Chaz or Kieran
Please can I be a moderator?
No. *shotgun*
But... please?
*shoots*
No, but seriously, how d'you become a moderator?
When we're in need, we'll ask you. You don't get promoted by asking. Be active.
