Over the last day, the staff here have discussed a few changes to the board:
- Reputation system now available to non-staff members here at Neocodex.
Please note: This is a trial run of the system and if we do not see it being abused, it will stay. However, if you abuse the privilege, it gets removed.
Only give reputation if members deserve it! Only dock reputation if you ABSOLUTELY feel it is necessary.
- Regular Members can only change their display name a maximum of twice a month.
- With much deliberation, the staff has decided to introduce a new rank to the hierarchy. The "Advanced Member" rank is made to recognize members who have put effort into being active and dedicated to the site. The rank currently offers:
* Storable PM messages from 300 to 500.
* Minimum time to use search function from 20 seconds to 10 seconds.
* Able to change display name a total of three times per month (any other special status will earn you three times per month as well such as GFX Team, Programming Team, etc).
* Future activites exclusive to Advanced Members and higher will be planned in the near future.
To achieve the rank: You must have at least 500 posts and have been a member here for at least a month. The board will auto-set your rank for you.
Every day at 1 AM, the ranks are adjusted accordingly. If you make 500 posts and do not receive Advanced Member, please wait until the next day.
Special thanks to Radiuju for bringing the idea to staff attention.
- The staff will be cracking down more on posts that are meant to harass members. If you have any intention of doing this, please keep it off the board. Also, the staff in the past has been letting a few things "pass by". Make sure you adhere to the rules, because no exceptions will be given.
- You will notice that some topics are missing from the board. The staff has done a cleanup in an effort to better the mood of the place.
- A staff revamp will be done in the near future, so we are on the lookout for moderators. Please know that it is against the rules to "ask" for the rank or annoy staff with the concept, as it is a rank chosen by us.
