Really Confused

[hatefulemperor17]

I was just wondering. What kind of system is this set up like. For some reason I can't post topics and do all other kinds of thing that i would normally be able to do at anouther site. Why is this. I don't like it. It makes me feel lowely and unwanted. Does any one else agree. Like my pm's are limited and stuff.

sorry Emperor, the Org is setup differently than TWC, read the stickies

Don't worry Emperor17-san just post nicely where you can and you will get promoted.

The idea was that all new patrons get help by concentrating them in new forums.

Also it is to weed out flamers and trolls from getting in and disrupting the site.

The Org was around during STW and orginally the decorum was based on that of the samurai. Politness and mastery of self where expected as well as being polite when talking to or about others. For instance -san is an honourific. We found that by being polite it is a lot nicer to be here for all the patrons.

basically, you just can't post everywhere and perform searches as a Junior Patron.
Both of these you get when you become a Senior Patron (which usually happens in a matter of days or at most a couple of weeks, unless you spam and are impolite and the such).
As far as the PM's goes, _everybody_'s PM box is very limited: mine has room for some 6 or so messages, and most people on the board are members (i.e., like myself).
PMs are not that widely used, either, so you won't feel constrained by it, most likely.

As for feeling lowly and/or unwanted, you should definitely not feel that way.
As was explained above, the reasons for this structure are to keep to a minimum the number of malicious people who come in (and would do, for instance, hundreds or searches, continuously, just to bring the server down, or just post mindless spam, etc).
Surely you're aware that such people exist, and this is the way the administrators of these forums have chosen to try to discourage them a bit.
Even though everybody is busy playing RTW these days, and as such the Entrance Hall (this forum) may be a bit neglected by people, all new members are welcome, and the first time you ask a question you'll be pleasantly (I hope) surprised by the number of replies and helpful posts. It's a rather decent forum, all in all You'll see.

Enjoy your stay !

As you can see from my join date I moved up in a reasonable time.
Stick around Emp; you're definitely wanted and the way the system works at the Org really does help to weed out the idiotas (had to get some latin in somewhere).

My Org's history is basically the same as Spuddicus. Joined recently and was promoted without waiting too much. (and may I say I didn't wrote that much).
