Okay so normally this will be done by the news team that will be established at a later date. So for this one and maybe a few more to come, I will be writing it or one of the Co-Admins will.
The first order of business is an explanation of member groups. Due to experience with these before and finding that they are rather entertsining to have on a forum, i decided there will be member groups. But the order in which a group will be established has not been decided yet. Whether there wil be certain requirements needed to establish one or not is still under debate.
There is already one Open group known as Dark Spawn. It is the only open group right now and allows any members to join. The other group that is visible to all members is Counciler but that will not be put into use until more members are seen. You may see other people with colored names that are not from the two up above. those are the Co-Admins and the Global Moderators(colors might be somewhat off, but you get the general idea). If you have any questions or concerns, you may PM them, or go to the service and suggestions thread below this one. They will answer any problems you have for them, as will I if you message me.
The current Staff members are:
Admin - Admin (Pyro)
Co-Admin - Crackers
Co-Admin - Crazymanjay
Global Moderator - xXKageAsashinXx
(i still have yet to figure out why the co-admins are showing up as that color so bear with it for the time being please)
Next order of business is rankings. For right now there are fifteen rankings in all. They are reached by post count, and a few are listed below:
Spawn - 0 posts
Citizen - 25 posts
One-star Citizen - 50 posts
Raging Citzen - 75 posts
Mercenary - 100 posts
Super human - 150 posts
Demon Hunter - 200 posts
and 8 more titles that will be disclosed at a later date.
The way the ranking is reached may change over time, but someone who has already reached a title will still keep their already reached title, or if that is not possible, will be given some sort of gift till it can be sorted out.
For now that is all that needs to be said. the next thing that will be posted are the forum rules. once you have read this, please make sure to read that as well.
Almost forgot, there is one more thing that i think should be mentioned.
If you wish to change the theme that you are currently using, go to your profile, click on edit profile, click settings, then scroll down till you see Forum theme. for now there are two, but the number will increase as time goes on.
Update:
Currency has just been introduced to the forum!
In with the name "F-Credits" they can be earned by posting in threads to creating pools. The currency distribution is as follows: 3 credits per post, with a 10 credit interest per 24 hours. 1 credit per poll created and 6 credits for every new topic. F-Credits will be used a lot in the future, but for now just stocking up is the best thing to do. If you don't want to carry all your earned credits around with you the entire time, click on the bank tab at the top and deposit them. There is a minimum 100 credit deposit and a 100 credit minimum withdrawal line as well. You can also send credits as gifts. I will hold contest or something of the like every now and then and the winner of each will be gifted a certain number of credits.
Update:
Custom titles have been established. At the moment, only certain staff are able to get one. But as time goes on, you will be able to earn, as well as buy a custom title using your F-Credits, or by contributing to the site.
Another thing is that likes have now been enabled on all themes. Underneath your mini profile(the profile that shows up when you post), you should see "Likes:" Likes are given when someone clicks the thumbs up on one of your posts.
