Alright everyone... It is time for a much needed update on the forum... And I have done just that... There are now LOADS of new ranks and groups on the forum... Some of this may be a bit overwhelming... So I am going to explain it here...

Immigrants:

The default rank when you sign up for the forum... You have standard posting privileges... But you are however disabled from the PM and Email Systems... This is an added precaution to prevent spam... You will be promoted to the Members group after 5 posts automatically...

Members:

The mainstream rank on the forum... Most members belong to this group and you have standard posting rights... You can now also use the Private Message and Email Systems... But can only store 50 messages...

As you post more on the site your rank will also increase:

0 Posts: Citizen
50 Posts: Recruit
150 Posts: Mall Cop
350 Posts: Employee of the Month
500 Posts: Commanding Officer
1500 Posts: Veteran (I wish you the best of luck on this one)

Senior Members:

Also... Along with the title of Employee of the Month at 350 posts... You will be promoted to the Senior Members Group... You will also be given access to special Senior Member only threads as a reward for your continued participation on the forum... However... You MUST keep in mind that just because you are a Senior Member... That does NOT mean you cannot be stripped of your title... If you are caught violating our terms of service or just being a pain you will be returned to the regular members group as a result...

Suspect:

If you are placed in the suspect group it is either because you are suspected of a possible crime on the forum... This could be due to reports from other members on the forum... Or if you have done something bad and The Directory needs to talk it over before deciding to hand out punishments... You have full posting rights... But are temporarily disabled from the PM and Email Systems...

Convict:

If you are placed in the convict group it is because you have deliberately disobeyed the Ante Entertainment terms of service after being warned... You are disabled from the Email and PM systems and have limited forum access... Think before you act like a dumbass!

Ex-Con:

If you have been previously violated our Terms of Service and were placed in the Convicts group... But have gotten your act into shape and redeemed yourself you will be promoted to the Ex-Con group... You have full posting rights and are reallowed to the PM and Email systems... But you can never clear the title of Ex-Con from your profile to constantly remind you of what you have done...

Banned

If you have constantly defied us (Aka... Pulled a Collin) or actually turned out to be a spam bot... You will be placed in the Banned Group... You have NO posting rights whatsoever and can no longer view the board... Your IP address and Email address are no longer valid on the board to prevent you from recreating your account...

Thats about it... So enjoy your stay at the USS Ante Entertainment Forums!
