Registration/Membership Problem? Post Here.

[KukriKhan]

We have changed forum software, had a large influx of new members, and modified the membership structure - all very recently.

If any of this has resulted in your old account being no longer active, please post here. Help may be available.

Also feel free to post any other general membership questions or problems you may have.

[Nestor II]

Nice to see some changes here

Now to the point: I was a member in the old forums, I'm a junior member now!

I miss editing my posts!!!

My previous name was just "Nestor", the email is the same for both accounts.
What can I do?

Mod Note: "...What can I do?..." You just did it. Check your PM inbox in about 5 minutes. -KukriKhan

Mod Note II: Whups, no PM box? Dunno why. First things first: check your Yahoo email account. -KukriKhan

Hmmm... what do I need to do to get a member status? Hint: look at my posts number...It's annoying, seeing people with 20 or so posts being members, and not me... It's just that all my posting is restricted to one modding forum, so I'm not very active in the Colosseum, but is that reason enough to discriminate?

[TosaInu]

Hello eadingas,

It's not discriminating, not in the sense that we say you're not worthy.

In the previous system, all new members passed the Entrance Hall. This had disadvantages but also pros. Most important pro was that it was easy to spot new members and promote them. New members diffuse over the whole board now, so it's more likely someone slips.

Unlike other boards, ours doesn't promote based on postcount.

Thanks for dropping a note here, so that we get a chance to look at it.

Just too add my voice to eadingas', it took a whole month, and 40+ posts for me to be promoted, which I'm grateful for by the way. But I've seen some members with similar post count and joining date who are still Juniors. I know I was getting a little frustrated at the wait to be able to participate here more fully, and I can only imagine how those others who weren't promoted feel.

It wouldn't be so bad if only the New? ReadMe First post was a tad more informative about the new forum organisation. When I joined, it seemed to be the practice to promote every week on the basis of stringing a few posts together. I, and many others, seem to have been caught in the transition.

On the dispersion of new members, aren't the various moderators of the forums pooling their information? It would seem not, or eadingas would have been promoted. 300 posts and still a Junior!

[TosaInu]

Hello Morat,

The other moderators do pool information.

In the old situation new members were restrited to the Entrance Hall only and its moderators had a fullday job in spotting and talking to everyone (there were/are also members participating in the introduction, thanks). We felt it important to get new members up and running as quick as possible, it was 'easy' to do as new active members were easy to spot in one place.

Now new members can post in almost any forum, that makes it harder to include them into the 'vetting' program (diffused, longer communication lines, mods not having time to report). The Entrance Hall is still the welcoming place and it helps if you post here, just so that the people directly responsible for the promoting get a reminder.

Umm in the edit your avatar section it says something about custom avatars is is possible to add custom avatars, or is this just a mistype

[TosaInu]

Hello WhiteWolf,

Custom avatars are not enabled. The previous board had some customisations
and offered both the option to have a custom avatar and a system avatar. This board is totally different and I'm mostly clueless about modifying bits here.
It was a nice thing andI hope to add such bits.

I'm afraid, as with WhiteWolf above, you had a picture in your signature that was larger than the forum rules allows. You should have received an email from TosaInu regarding the temporary change in your membership status. However, it's no great mischief if you did not - there is a copy in this post. If you follow those instructions, you should be back to normal in no time.

[WhiteWolf]

Ok guys this is really getting old I sent my email containing the info you requested over a month ago. Not to mention that on the very same day I knew there was a problem with my sig I came here to remove it. I am not sure why you do this as it seems that you are simply creating more work for yourselves which was why you were doing all this in the first place, it simply seems a little contridictory to me I suppose.

[KukriKhan]

Hi WhiteWolf. I know it seems a bit of trouble, but it's for a worthy cause (page-load times for phone modem members).

Please email me jim@jimcee.com at your earliest convenience, and we'll sort this out, and get you back to normal.

[pezhetairoi]

Hi Kukrikhan, I've posting daily on the RTW boards from monday to friday for the past few weeks, but I'm still a junior member... could you take a look and see if you could promote me? Please? Thanks in advance. :-)

[KukriKhan]

You have mail, m8.

[Craterus]

I for one find the whole process undemocratic and silly. I had BI full 5 days before everyone else but couldn't share anything with anybody here here because the of the posting restrictions, can't even vote in polls, it's like I am 5 again (and that was 35 years ago). I wish to be removed from members list. thank you

[Papewaio]

So what if a system is undemocratic?

The best systems are the ones that are accountable, which tends to be those that are democratic. A stellar example of not being democratic but highly accountable is science which is peer reviewed.

Once you get past the anti-troll speed bumps this place is the place to get information with minimal spam unless you hit the tavern. It is a fun and polite site and that is the way we like to keep it. Sure the entry fee is steep but the wait is worth it.

[therother]

I think this is as good a place as any to point out that all Members can post about any Total War game, or indeed Total Warrior, in the Entrance Hall (that's what it's here for), and that any Member can post and vote in polls in this forum. The full permissons for Junior Members can be found in another sticky thread, the Guild FAQ.
