James Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 [color=indigo]Okay, I've had so many questions about these two issues that I thought I'd address them here. Basically, Custom Avatars are coming soon. When they are up, we'll let you know. And as for Avatar sizes, we are considering having new sizes available as people's ranks increase. So at first you might use only 50x50 avatars, but when you hit a certain rank, you might be able to access 65x65 avatars. These are issues that we are still working through, so please be patient...they're coming :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 [B]Yes, going for a goal which is essentially nothing is weird, because you'll spend eternity trying to reach it...[/B] [color=indigo]Well it's a two fold idea. Basically, on the one hand, we want to reward people for being long standing members. That's why people will get custom avatars and different sizes as they stay here longer...it's like a reward for contributing. At the same time, it means that the forums don't get too boring. Even if you've been here for six months, you'll find that there are still new ranks to be achieved and such. So the aim is to make sure that there is always something to look forward to. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] Actually, the board I administer in is like that: the admins and mods can get their custom avatars anytime. And if you set the post count high enough, even the most ardent spammer will give up on some point. Either that, or he'll most likely be banned before he gets there.

Milliardo Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by firemac [/i] [B]hmm, thta's somewhat wrong is all I have to say [/B][/QUOTE] What is wrong? That the post count should be high before getting the custom avatar? The idea there is two-fold: 1) it rewards loyal members who regularly come to the board and, 2) it deters spammers, and would-be spammers. A high post count will, sooner or later, make spammers give up. If they're not banned first, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
