Question

[WaterSprite]

[center][i][font=Century Gothic]I was wondering, how long does this site keep someone listed under "New member"...-_-[/font][/i][/center]
[center][i][font=Century Gothic]I was at another forum, (not otakuboards) when someone comments on my site telling me not to mind this rude person, who had commented on it, and called me a newbie.:animeangr [/font][/i][/center]
[center][i][font=Century Gothic]I've been a member since July, so I was/is pretty ticked.[/font][/i][/center]
[center][i][font=Century Gothic]I'm just wondering how long do they keep you under new member?[/font][/i] [/center]

[color=#B0251E]You need about 20 posts to become a Member. So persistent activity at OB is what'll do it. ^_^[/color]

That's because it is set at 50 posts. I deleted your previous post, and if you continue to "spam" your way to 50 posts... we'll reset your post count. You'll get there when you get there, and hopefully with [i]quality [/i]posts.

huh? I was spamming? What did I do now? I did something wrong? All I said was it was still counting me as new member, geez.
Can you please explain what I did wrong? And I know your the technical staff but if you ask me, that was just rude.:animedepr
Don't yell at me. But I honestly don't know what it is that I did wrong.:confused:
And I read that spam posts were only one word or so. I don't recall doing such a thing!

[quote name='Rules page under what is considered Spam on the OB']Double Posting: OtakuBoards does not allow for double posting. If members post a message and wish to post another directly after, we ask that they edit their original message rather than create a new one. The only time we allow an exception to this rule is if a member is posting fan fiction. If your fan fiction is too big for one post, you may double post.[/quote]
Double posting is considered spam on the OtakuBoards. jblessing just corrected you on the information about how many post counts are required to attain member status. If you also remember when you signed up for the message boards that all members are required to read the rules of the boards. It also states in the intro:
[QUOTE]Note: We ask all new members to read this page before posting. If you do not read the page, you are putting yourself at risk, by not being aware of how our site operates. When conducting moderation duties, our staff will always assume that members have read this page. As a result, members will still be held accountable to the rules, whether they have read them or not.[/QUOTE]
He was not being rude when telling you. Under the rules of the site we operate under the assumtion that you know the rules. If you double post you are breaking the rules despite knowing what they are.

I suggest re-reading what counts as spam on the boards since there are more items than just one word posts. If you have any questions please feel free to PM myself or any of the other site staff. I don't want you to feel like we are being mean, but the rules are clearly stated and we expect people to follow the rules.

The OB is a really fun board to be a part of. Just sit back, respond to posts and have a good time. Member status doesn't mean nearly as much as the quality of your responses. Stop by the Otaku Lounge and hang out with us! Before you know it you will have the "member" status.

First and foremost, have fun and get to know the other members. The title will come in time. :D
