Major Dudes??????? I'm puzzled

tiger84 · 3rd April 2001, 03:14

Could anyone tell me what the difference is between a Senior Member and a Junior Member and just what a Major Dude is?

Anacific · 3rd April 2001, 03:26

the difference is the number of posts

:: 00 - 29 : Junior Member
:: 30 - 99 : Member
:: 100- 499: Senior Member
:: 500- ...: Major Dude

don't take it too seriously though...it doesn't matter

tiger84 · 3rd April 2001, 04:02

Well I wasn't really taking it too seriously...it's just that some of those posting messages look down on all of us junior members as newbies to Winamp (it's prejudice I tell you, PREJUDICE)...I personally have been using it since v.1.x. I remember life before skins, yes those were the days. While some junior members are nembies (junior users) to winamp, others are senior users with much experience.

it's just that some people try to post a lot of b.s. just to become members/seniors/majors

tiger84 · 3rd April 2001, 04:18

I understand, I don't like those people too much either...esp. under the bitchlist category.

Namelessv1 · 3rd April 2001, 06:33

Well, u dont gotta worry about me, man. Im not fulla b.s., im just fulla crap.

I think after 1000 something posts, u get 2 change that little title of urs 2 wut ever u want.

Sam603 · 3rd April 2001, 07:10

I usually look at the date to see how long a person's been registered on the forums. Take into concideration the amount of posts they made and then you can see who has been wasteing their life in these forums.
Dawg4Life2K1> Are you sure you aren't thinking about Mods?

jns · 3rd April 2001, 07:24

I'm not wasting my life! I have one! Just posting lots and lots of crap.

And the difference is, we Major Dudes get to do sexual favors for the mods..

What is someone is just realy helpful and posts alot in the tec forums then u would be juging the unjustly, i personly think thay should only have 2 titles member amd mod, then you wont get post pumpers going for titles.

No. Custom titles are for mods only.

InvisableMan · 3rd April 2001, 11:55

can mods change the rank of someone regardless of his #of posts? for instance: Little_Johnny has 12 posts and Mod_X wants to change him to a major dude. can he do that?

Twilightseer · 3rd April 2001, 11:57

Yes, we can change anyone's title, regardless of their post count.

InvisableMan · 3rd April 2001, 12:03

hey that clears alot of things up. i was wondering what it takes to be a moderator?? like a certan post count or are you appointed by watadoo or another moderator...

Twilightseer · 3rd April 2001, 12:05

Post count has nothing to do with it. You have to be appointed personally by Watadoo.

InvisableMan · 3rd April 2001, 12:08

thats what i thought

Matt · 3rd April 2001, 13:58

Just going into my own world now, I was looking for something and came across information on numerous Vbulletin addons that are worth installing. Have they been considered for use here? or are you waiting for VBulletin 2?

On the subject of working out whether a person is useful or useless there are addons like this that could be used. A rating system for posts that is, so you can see who the idiots are. Probably useless, I like it, but then I would. I believe a similar thing is being added to VB2.

Also I saw another addon to notify moderators of certain posts (Sort of PM, they'd find out instantly, (if they were online )).
The hack was quicker than emailing them and is worth mentioning as on the odd occasion before I have seen posts that need editing. I post a request in the thread but as no moderator or administrator reads the post it goes unchanged.

Just an easier way to bring things to attention.
That's all,

Twilightseer · 3rd April 2001, 14:02

Well, Nullsoft plans to switch to version 2.0 of VBulletin. I mean that's what we were told. A while ago.

PabUK · 3rd April 2001, 15:32

Why, what is going to be in VBulletin 2?

sgtfuzzbubble011 · 3rd April 2001, 15:39

Lots of neet'o'keen stuff.

liek what?

Matt · 3rd April 2001, 16:29

For example -

Co-branding / Multiple style,template sets
~ Support for Avatars
~ User control panel
~ Private messaging
~ Buddy list
~ Nested forums (unlimited depth subcatagories)
~ Upgraded search engine
~ GZip pages (to reduce page download time)
~ Real-time forum statistics
~ Download / Upload template sets
~ Moderator's control panel
~ Revamped user permissions system
~ Improved support for moderators
~ Backup database feature
~ Much more!

Plus custom addons written by people. Of course it's up to administration which features are enabled.

Jstalilwyrd · 3rd April 2001, 16:32

Mmm... kinky

Reducing page load time... we definitely need that.

a-arse · 3rd April 2001, 17:56

Private Messaging? Thats for chatlines.
What if some freak keeps sending you messages?

PabUK · 3rd April 2001, 20:37

You could just ignore them, or maybe there is a feature to turn them off.

tiger84 · 3rd April 2001, 23:48

I didn't realize my post would get so many responces.

Matt · 4th April 2001, 00:22

Well you know what it's like here. People change the topic of the thread and it goes on and on.

InvisableMan · 4th April 2001, 00:30

why hasnt nullsoft put a chatroom in? i mean, im sure its crossed their minds.. but like a simple j-script one, or somthing.. im sure they have a good and obvious reason thats gonna make me look like a jackass for posting this

like i could look like a jackass

i make this board look good

Matt · 4th April 2001, 00:46

linkline.ca.us.webchat.org

on irc, it's the best you'll get for now. (No Nullsoft didn't set it up)

they had one of EFnet (or another big irc network), but they took it down because all the hyperactive 14-year olds. (i'm offended).

about vb2: yes, we are going to upgrade sooner or later. i dont know when, but that's watadoo and frank (the tech guy)'s call. and, we sent in our own big long list of features we want to have implimented.

DeLiRiUmLB · 4th April 2001, 01:25

Personally, I like how in the Sonique forums*, you can change the Subtitle of your name to something more personal.

*I was very lonely one night so i decided to check out sonique. /me is very naughty.

PabUK · 4th April 2001, 01:45

Justin has a simple chat system at http://fdiv.org/chat/ so you could always use that.

good idea though!

tomodachi · 23rd February 2004, 00:06

there r about 500 pages here.. if i bring up a post from every page, then i become a major dude :lol:

have the rules changed or they r still the same?

SSJ4 Gogitta · 23rd February 2004, 00:07

you're on your way to being banned, dipshit.

randman · 23rd February 2004, 00:08

Ban the dumbass! That post is all the reason you need! Please! I implore you! Stop him now!

tomodachi · 23rd February 2004, 00:13

why should i be banned? what rules did i break?

ScorLibran · 23rd February 2004, 00:13

Why would rules about post count possibly matter?

Post count has nothing to do with the respect you get. If your very first post as a new member is thoughtful, you'll get respect. If you have 5000 posts, and most are garbage, you'll lose respect.

Remember, it's quality that counts, not quantity.

And why do we have all these ancient thread resurrections, lately?
