i am obviously new to this site, and i was just wondering why under some of your names it says member, some moderator, and some regular. What seperates a member from a regular, is it time at the site or number of posts?

member = 1-49 posts
regular = 50+ posts
moderator = moderator of a section, no post count requirement.

i think that they should do away with postcounts. some people cannot handle a number that rises with each post and they start flooding the forums and inventing crappy 'post one word' topics. its really has no point.


oh look, im almost at 1000 posts.

lol

Good example of a crappy one word post.

Well it also helps the newbs know who here is a long time member, or some body who gives out lots of advice. Otherwise you could get morons who have posted twice giving out completely wrong information. Sure the registeration date would solve this but not entirely. Remember Mekhet? (Mekhet will now be Zoks primary example of all people/moderators who never posted)

was he good though

Mekhet knew his shit, but he never posted.

like Jaded� ...

hell yeah!! I am now a regular right? It took me just over a year, but i finally did it, FIFTY posts!!
Although i dont write much on totse, i think that the having something to know how often someone is posting is actually a good idea. It shows their participation at this site, and even if they only have stupid one word posts like "lol" or something it still shows that they at least read the topic. I think they should make even more groups- like one for 1-50 and then one for 50-100, then 100-500, and 500-1000 and 1000+ or something like that. THe date that they joined means nothing, maybe they filled the new user sheet out a year ago and forgot about the site this whole time and just now got back, they wouldnt know what the fuck was going on. But if you see someone with 500 posts or more you know that they have been active on this site.

hey? when will it say im a regular, i was all excited to show all my friends but its been like an hour since my 50th post and it still says regular.

Damn you like never post...You've been here since sept of last year....damn

wow ive been here for 9 months, doesnt feel like that long. Ive been lurking in totse BBS since 2000 though. I think post count is good, because it shows wiether or not yor active, when i go to see if i should trust someones advice, i look at post count, and when joined. If joined is like aug 2002, and they have 2000 posts, its probably all been spam. Nox is the exception.

Mekhet only had... what 60 posts last i saw? and he was some sort of unix crazed maniac. but he did know his stuff.

i dont think post count is that much of a way to gauge how well rated a member/reuglar is. i remeber some of thes superkiller made and "i love poop", they had high post counts but werent always that inteligent

u also frogot the administrators like root and j.c.stanton

also are the more than just those 2 administrators??

They only post when needed. And they are the only admins.

And post count does give you a better idea of the person's participation...

Ill tell you some funny shyt look at my posts! Hell i been here since like thee hmm 3rd or 4month thi place opend i been here longer than some moderators the only reasoni dont post often is two things One i been atcollege for 3 years rarely comin on here and i just got back thank god.
Second when i post i usally fell it nessary to interact with a question or awnser and i go into extreme detail about a loota stuff im talking about so instad of like a thread Sayin
WHAT IS POTASSIUM NITRATE!!!!!
instead of saying you moron its a thing for bombs ill say Potassium Nitrate is a common ingredeiant in explosive know in its chemical sign KNO3 its most commonly used in low grade blasting caps for trinitrate Toulene and Black Powder ok stop Corey your doin it again haha this ends up with a long detailed post that is timeconsuming as you can see i retardedly just did.

maybe you don't post because you have massive problems with the written english language and no one can understand what your saying.

Hey ok well response to that hmmm.
Oh yea Fuck you.
I may not spell right all the time and i can confuse people but i know my shyt man and i think that counts as to how i was in 2000 and 2001 when i shoot my mouth off for stupid shit that i didnt have dam clue to what the hell i was saying

i THink you should maybe consider staying away from those nuclear testing sites, i think its doing something to your head, seriously, your last post just made me more confused about what the hell you are trying to say.
