Jon Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 How can you make groups, it tells you in your profile if your a member of any public groups, how do you make em.
Ashley Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 My immediate thought would be it means groups such as Admins, Site Staff etc which is here: http://www.revo-europe.com/forum/showgroups.php But then it doesnt say im in any groups on my profile, when I should be in two. Ill delve further into it (tomorrow, beddy byes soon) but it could be that (but why they dont show up on view profile im not sure). If it is we may allow users to form groups in the future but its something the staff'll have to talk about, to make sure people don't become too cliquey.
bob Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I love the way people immediately abuse the gender field (including me). It shows a wonderful sense of humour and stubbornness not to do what we are supposed to do.
Shmotz Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I love the way people immediately abuse the gender field (including me). It shows a wonderful sense of humour and stubbornness not to do what we are supposed to do. I wanted Unknown but got as far as 'Unknow' before having to rethink my entire strategy.
Cheapshot Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I've been approved 3 times (on my user cp) but my reputation points are still at 10, why?
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Can we get rid of this 10 character minimum on posts?
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Bob and Shmotz: Yeah, the gender field will just end up being abused really. So, it's not going to really help determine who's male or female. Which is a bit crappy because that was what the field was intended for. Cheapshot: It's been mentioned a few times in this thread. Try reading thru it, it's already been explained in depth. Eevil: Nah, i reckon we should keep it. Besides, 10 characters is really not much anyway. Imo, a post with less than 10 character doesn't deserve posting.
Mr_Odwin Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 As shown above there are ways of getting around the character limit. Quote to see the magic.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 As shown above there are ways of getting around the character limit. Quote to see the magic. Yeah, but why would you want a blank post? And it's a bit extreme to do that to try and get past a 10 character limit.

You don't have to have a blank post. If you want a post that's less than 10 characters stick [img]http://www.james.pike.dsl.pipex.com/blank.gif[/img] on the end after your text. (It has other uses too, check out my above img tags appearing as text.)

I find it hard to believe that anyone could manage a post with less than 10 characters to be honest. o_O
Mr_Odwin Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Rodney Rickets Campino It has afflicted one person in this very thread already.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Horseshit. I wanted to post "yes" to Blackfox's post in the caption topic but alas I couldn't without going into some indepth analysis. What if someone asked you a yes or no question? You'd have to add some random bollocks to make up.

What if someone asked you a yes or no question? You'd have to add some random bollocks to make up. You see, for that post, i could have just typed in "no" and clicked post. That's if we didn't have the limit. But the limit is there to stop spamming and people just posting one word answers. It's a discussion forum, and yes or no answers don't encourage discussion.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 That depends, the next person could post "why/not?" [Obviously have to add some bullshit to go over 10.] then the discussion can flow. So this forum discriminates those who want their answers short and sweet!

So this forum discriminates those who want their answers short and sweet! I dunno, i think posting just one word is a bit 'cheap' really. Also, does anyone else find it annoying when just posts "wtf?" or "lol"? The point of the 10 character system is to get rid of posts like that.

The point of the 10 character system is to get rid of posts like that. What the f**k? (Just got past the 10 character limit by saying that, same effect, same number of words, but not spamming, apparently)
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 What the f**k? (Just got past the 10 character limit by saying that, same effect, same number of words, but not spamming, apparently) We could always make the limit higher if you wanted. :wink:
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Come on now, this is meant to be a question thread.
Ashley Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 They have to post 25 times to give me rep' points? Why? Its explained in this thread and in the Karma rules thread so this'll be brief: because otherwise someone could get a friend to make an account and just give them loads of karma. Its a preventative measure. Ten characters is not much. Spell out initialisations or just detail something, eg "why=why do you fell that way?" or something. Posts which are "naturally" gonna be less than 10 characters should be rare anyway. Its like complaining that there will be short periods of times when we'll be down for upgrades and such. Its rare, deal with it :P
Charlie Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 What are the post counts needed for the titles underneath your name (Settled in, etc)? I know post counts don't matter anymore ( ), but it would be nice to know when I'm not going to be settled in anymore....
Ashley Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Same as the old boards, the landmark posts are: 0 50 200 500 1000 So you need 118 posts more.
link64uk Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 i think it says settled in after 50 posts after that im not sure
