Y am I a slurg
 

Humour me before I have to go.

How do you rise in the ranks.:fuzzle:
I hate being easy to step on.

Post more. Read the forum titles and ranks.

And please dont post just to boost your post count, I find it quite frankly annoying when others post just to look cooler In ranks, I see people here who still just post spam to try and look like they are better members when, in fact they post nothing of true value or meaning. Post true things that you think, or come from within not just to try and better yourself, and you will be a great addition to the Oddworld Forums Family.


Look at the rules/topic as Happyguy said about ranks and titles. Thankyou and enjoy your stay.

Sincerely, Al the Vykker FC Mod:fuzsmile:

Yea what Al said don't post to raise your rank. If you get involved with the forums then it will rise you will see.

THE SYSTEM IS BASED ON HOW MUCH YOU POST???!!!???
That sucks!!!

Flooding=Admin

Thankx 4 the info.
Slán, agus póg mo hó

i get it slurg easy tostep on:lol: i haven't ben here a week(or have i)and im a glukkon pud when you have posted 20 post's you turn into a gabiwog i think

Guy's isent this consiterd spaming ( What he did )... I think so please close this...

O and Ps. Read the title ranks toipic:fuzconf: It would hav saved us all a lot of time in here instead.

Why does it suck? and why does flooding = admin? the more post you get doesn't mean you have more power or better then any1.

Thankyou!:) someone who agrees with me. And I can see eye to eye with.

I hope you don't say that for me...

No Xavier, I dont think that way about you. You are a dedicated member, and have never really spam, its not always how long a post is, its what the content is, and how much it really adds to a discussion or to the forum. In which you exceed in all those areas. Check my post om Toonami in Off topic, I mention you and its good. You may have over 6000 posts Xav, but all those posts you earned. And you worked your way up like most people here such as myself. All the way up to where we are now. I may have below 1000 posts, but that does not mean Im better or worse than you, we are all equal.

Look at Pilot, he doesn't have a lot of post but he is a super mod.

???
Who's Pilot???
And I just reached another level. I can't get my Avatar image up though, it's on my computer.
Again I ask for help.
Again.
Again I ask for help.

Pilot is another super mod of this forum, he also host it on the server and you cannot up load the avatar & you cannot use the attachment too cause there is a technical problem.

I get your point, thank you...
you see, I would hate if some one think I'm a mod because I post a lot
and you are right: we are all equal.

What's up with that? All of the forums I have been to have ranking systems based on the number of posts you have. What is so sucky about that? And it's not what your rank is... It's how meaningful your posts are. That is what reflects your ... your... argh somebody help me out here. I'm lost for words.

The following three quotes are my posts on this topic and view of posting:


I think some members who spam a lot and are newer to the system believe they will become mods from posting a lot. This is the farthest way from becoming one. Mods are elected most of the time by the members thus with the election of Xav and myself. We werent just elected overnight. I know Xav and I first came here as members over a year ago. And worked our way up being good members, being dedicated, contributing a lot, not just boosting our post counts. And made a great impression. And worked all the way to the point where we were elected like most of the other mods for our deeds, and how they viewed us as great people for each of our areas on the forums.

We are not better than anyone we just help the admins, and work alongside (mods) with the other mods in the staff to try and make this place fun, and enjoyable for you. We are your spokespeople, and also make sure the forum runs smoothly. Hence Moderating the different sections from Off topic to General Discussion to OIPT to Fan Corner to RPG. All of us have our areas we try and take care of. And then the Admins take care of the site as a whole, and will also occasionally go through and check up on how we are doing. It shows because a suggestion such as the removal of the post count first went through Employee lounge. All of the staff voted on it, and then it was moved to suggestion and the members voted on it also. That is a prime example of it being democratic and equal.

As I have stated and your opinion is similar to mine. Its not how many posts you have, its the content thats important of what you have.

Thus Quality over Quantity. Thats one of my important advice I can give out. Im glad more people agree with that than just myself.

Can someone give me the link of where the Rankings are? I cant find it anywhere :(

Its... the sticky right above this topic:|

I just want to tell I'm 100% with Al
I don't think I spam, I just try to help newbies, to teach some fans about oddworld related stuff and to get pictures for the one's who need it

Xavier doesn't spam for anyone who wants to claim that he does. For starters we wouldn't accept spammers as Moderators, and Xavier has earned everyone of his posts.

Having posts does not equal power. We may have more because we've been here longer and earned the power by being good.

Alcar...

And thats a perfect example of what a role model, and good member should do. And it is an Oddworld forum, so what better to do than help out other oddworld fans.:)

It's me again!
 

Since this wasn't closed I'll ask a new question here:
Abe Babe: I want to post a story about Mud's in the Fan-Oddities section. I have it in .html form. How do I get it up for all to see???
