New VIP Rank

[oops_ur_dead]

I've decided to reward the respected and active members of our community by adding a new VIP rank. Now, users who either have more than 30 rep, or who have 500 posts AND have been around for 3 months will be given a "VIP" rank, giving them access to the R&D forum, normally reserved for donors and the Respected group.

Is there going to be a fancy badge and color scheme for this group?

[oops_ur_dead]

I don't have one planned yet. As for now, they have a pure white (as opposed to very light grey on regular members) and bolded name. Maybe I'll make a custom badge later.

[Gingerape]

I'm super duper excited

[Auckmid]

I love you Oops!

[Ash]

sorry guys, vip is reserved for Ash only

[Bruno]

Ahem.

[Rocshi]

I approve.

[Apocist]

Is it possible to stack that with a donor title(for the badge)?

[pebrock]

Hmm looks like I have some catching up to do. *Incoming 1,000 posts by me*

[Phyr]

Haha, I will never break that post count unless posts from games start to get counted. X)

[Duzero]

Citizens are not important, VIP's are.

[Ubernox]

Oh yes. Not very exclusive, though.

[Guardian]

Let's get started...

[Ubernox]

Increase the post count/time on forums required.

I'm with the time bit.
*Lobbies against post counts*
Somehow, we need a method for ensuring people cant just get into VIP by having a 3-month old account and posting relentlessly on say, circlejerk.

Maybe we could tie it to rep power/actual rep as well?
such as: -rep = No VIP OR min rep power = 3 (people with -rep shouldn't have rep power)

[Ubernox]

Maybe having a more organic, hand-picked system? People who are active in the FMs. Respectable personae, who can really contribute.

If a particular member is abusing the R & D board. They can be removed.

[EliteMarine]

Looks like a I better get to work then!

[JSaint]

There are new cooler features like live stream now too...

Are you and D.R coding some of these from hand oops?

[oops_ur_dead]

The live stream thing was part of the vBulletin 4.2 update that I quietly did.

I'm not hand-coding anything, apart from an IRC bot that I'll eventually put to use on the IRC channel.

[JSaint]

Yay for new features! ^^

Thank you for allowing me to... er... gain more insights into what people do on the forums

[Burnteskimo IIl.]

I approve.

Found it annoying how it defaults what tab is selected to something different now..need a setting to change that

[clementine]

How do you figure out how much rep you have?

[JSaint]

Click on Le setting button ^^.

Not that I want to post farm , I just happen to be reading this thread for the first time and thought it would be a good idea to try whether multiple post in one thread will add up to the posts count

Also, I don't like your rude-ness .... for an admin
