VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 21, 2003 If you reach a promotion level and I don't notice please PM me so I can post a promotion notice. As we get larger it's getting harder for me to spot the promotions as they happen. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted March 23, 2003 How does the Member crew and title work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 24, 2003 How does the Member crew and title work? As you post your rank goes up with the number of times you post. It's just a fun way of keeping the board in the Star Trek theme. I startre announcing the "Promotions" much the same way we would be promoted when I was in the Army or the way they have done it in Stat Trek, by calling the crew member forward to promote them in front of the full crew. I hope this answers your question, if not just let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted March 24, 2003 Beware however! I am constantly on the roam looking for post's which have no substance and if a post appears to have been created only to raise post counts It might be considered spam... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However my post included content to the subject of this board in a quick and easy way, Being Global Moderator, every post at this site is my responsibility to oversee, I do not always have the time to spell out what I mean to say and that post was an example of the pressure I was under to; 1. Post a response acknowledging the Honoree. 2. Hurrying to resume my duties. I hope this has cleared up any misunderstanding and now, if you will please excuse me, I still have a page and a half of new post's I must screen before I can settle down and enjoy the boards as just a visitor. Any other questions? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeanlucPicard00 0 Posted March 29, 2003 I know what you mean, hopefully people show some honor, but how why should my simple reply of this thread not count as a post then? :lol: he he he. And how do you plan on discounting these types as such. Yes you guys have raised very valid questions on that issue and I totally agree. So at the risk of posting without substance, can you add to these? : Live and let live, IDIC, to each thier own, I walk to the beet of a different drum, and fly through space to the pulse of a warp drive. Why be normal, Dare to be Different..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why be normal, Dare to be Different..... If someone were to go and "spam" a board with 50 nonsense postings I have the ability to go and re-set the post count back to account for that. I haven't ever done that and only would in an extreme case like mentioned above. BUt I also have the ability to set a board up so that postings on that board don't count on the post count.
