Ol' Fighter Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I just want to know how do I move up in the ranks if any on the otakaboard...I wanna make it to the top :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiyuu Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 [font=Trebuchet MS]If you mean member titles (like, you're currently a [b]New Member[/b]) then there's only one other level, [b]Member, [/b]which appears when you have fifty posts. But we don't have any others - that's what your [b]Custom Title [/b]is for, so you can decide yourself what your title should be and don't have to spam to get enough posts for your favourite one. We don't have 'ranks' - we're a friendly, equal-opportunities messageboard, heh. Anyway, this is a [b]Suggestions & Feedback [/b]topic, so I'm moving it there. I'm sure this question's been asked before, too - take a quick search through S&F. [/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 [size=1]Don't believe [i]him[/i]. Look at his title. He is a Moderator, and his one aim is to fool you into believing his lies so that he can stay at the top end of the ranks. Don't be sucked in! You can make it to the very top, buddy.[/size] Boo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a promotion done manually by an Administrator. I just wanted to mention that in case you thought it might happen automatically after a while.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [b][font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Edit:[/color][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]On second thought, I retract my previous statement to jump on Desbrkeko's obviously much cooler bandwagon.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 [color=#4B0082]I hear it's all the rage to get the title Banned. All the cool kids are doing it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen Sink Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've always wanted to be in a banned, is that title reserved for official Otakuboards banned members? I can play guitar. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, listen to Baron -- he's a learned chap. Us moderators are power-hungry tyrants here solely to hold you down. Maybe one day, if you're lucky enough, you can murder new members yourself.

Desbreko Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 [color=#4B0082]I wonder if I could get away with keeping a membership for Desbreko's Fangirls and changing people's titles when they join. Hmm. . . .[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Hoy Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Lol, I did something like that on my obviously not cool message board a long time ago. Sadly though I got chewed out by the former admin.... *cooughdoitdesbrekocough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 [SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting. Heh I remember the kill-or-be-killed attitude to posting back before the newer member titles, I suppose most of us from back then did a little bit of scrambling up the ladder to try and get away from the first two ghastly titles of Newbie and Junior Member. Getting to the top requires cut-throat ruthlessness, an ability to punish without hesitation and treat people with complete disregard to human compassion, that and have something cool and totally unique about you, or in Des' case to very nearly take on the identity of a Nintendo character...[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 [size=1]I'd be [i]Extreme Otaku[/i] or [i]No Life[/i] now with my post count :( I wish we still had member titles based upon the immensely important factor of our total number of posts.

Desbreko Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 [color=#4B0082]OB history lesson! These are the old v3-v6 titles that people managed to get: 0-249 - Newbie 250-499 - Junior Member 500-999 - Member 1000-1999 - Otaku 2000-2999 - Extreme Otaku 3000-4999 - No Life 5000-????? - I Live Here At the time, Raiha was the only one who managed to get the I Live Here title. We never saw what was past that since the v7 upgrade did away with the old titles. And I really doubt that they'll ever be coming back. As for myself, Member was as high as I got. But that's only 'cause I was hired as a mod in v4 and have been one ever since. :toothy: Oh, and if you really want to measure your e-penor against others', you can still go to the Members List page and have it sort by post count. James is currently at the top, and you'll find a bunch of other oldies populating the first page.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Metal Dragon Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Let's you and me go on a crazy rampage and destroy all of the people that are a member or higher, so they'll[B] have[/B] to promote others to fill in the gap..... either that or they're gonna kill us...

And you know it. If you want to make it to the top, you'll have to do a few important things (aswell as getting 50 posts). You will have you put "Do it right, do White. I did White, why don't you?" into your signature, you will have to mail me 50 dollars Monopoly money, you will have to get 5 honorable kills (slay 5 Newbies) and you will have to completely disregard this post.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not we even need new mods in the first place.

But really, I'm supposing moderators need at least be [i]members[/i] before chosen. Also, I'm pretty sure James only takes in mods once he's met, talked to, and trusts them. *Shrugs* But maybe I've got no clue what I'm talking about. But before you try to become a Moderator, I expect one of the existing ones is going to direct you towards the rules, seeing as it's doubtful you've read them. Your post quality is simply dreadful. <3[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanabishi Recca Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 [quote name='Lonley Fighter']Help me out here what am I doing wrong and why is everyone so made at me I just wanted to know how to move up and now I'm being knocked down :confused:[/quote] I'll give you a basic out line. If you have under 50 posts then you're a new member. If you have more than 50 posts then your a member. If someone has 1000 posts your basically even with them [Saying you have over 50.]. If someone is a Mod, they a more athority than you. If someone is higher than a mod [Site admin, ect.] Then they are higher than you. So respect them [Honor them.]. Do what they say [Be obedient]. So, if you want to be a mod, be obedient. Then if they have a spot open, they might consider you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
