7 Sticky threads was getting a bit over the top, so they have been put into one. If we think of anything else we will add it.
If You Need Help On A Personal Level
If you need help with a forum issue and do not wish to post it you can PM (Private Message) one of the Admins and they can help you.
You are best off PMing Rajah, Platt or Headliner as we are very active members.
The Administrator account is used by a couple of members of Vertical Scope. They may not be as active
Warnings, Infractions and Banned Users
Those who don’t follow the rules may receive a warning or an infraction. A warning is exactly that – a warning. No further action is taken and there are no infraction points added to your account. If a warning is ignored it may become an infraction if a member of staff decides.
If you receive an infraction you get infraction points added to your account. If you get 5 points you get banned. Each infraction is calculated differently and points and bannings vary depending on the offence.
Most bannings via infractions points are temp bans for a certain period, whether it be 5 days or a month. If you find you are banned do not rejoin or use another account. If we pick up on that then that account will be banned and your original banning will be extended. Those users who continue to do that will find themselves permanently banned from the forum, and their IP address may be banned as well.
How To Make A Drop List
Note: Drop titles can only only contain 8 lines max to keep within signature limits
PHP Code:
[drop=Drop List Title] What you want [option]What you want II[/option] [option]What you want III[/option] [/drop]
Produces:
Post Count
Post count is turned off in the following sections -
Word Games And Trivia
Rants
Wrestling Divas, Celebs & Models - aka WOW.
Wrestling Multimedia
These sections usually attract spam and posts won't be added to your post count.
What Are The User Titles?
We've changed the default user titles for the forum. Upon consulting with the staff we all agreed they were out of date and could do with a little "spicing up".
The following list are the new default titles. They were thought of by AMPLine4Life with a little help, probably not much, from Headliner.
0 - Newbie
100 - Forum Lurker
300 - YouTube Shooter
500 - Virgil at Conventions
750 - Wrestler's Rat
1,000 - Working Dark Matches
1,500 - Fighting for a Contract
1,750 - 5 minutes on Impact
2,000 - WWE jobber
3,000 - Cute Kip's Stylist
4,000 - Joey Styles' punching bag
5,000 - JBL's assistant
6,000 - TNA legend
7,000 - Direct to DVD Star
8,000 - WWE movie Star
9,000 - Mainstream puppet
10,000 - PPV Main-Eventer
15,000 - We've Cena Nuff
20,000 - The Nature Boy
Why Is My Sig Not Showing?
To be able to have a image or gif in your signature you need to have a premium membership
Without a membership, images will just show up as a link.
Those users with Paid Memberships that get banned will need their membership reactivated as they will be set back to Registered by default. There is no other way around this. If you get banned you need to PM Rajah, David or Administrator to get this changed.
Also, there is a bug in the eStore that may remove your signature. If this happens PM Rajah or David and we can fix this for you.
Reputation
Every new member starts out with a rep level of 75.
Register Date Factor - 1 point per 365 days
Post Count Factor - 1 point per 1500 posts
Reputation Point Factor - 1 point per 2500 rep points you have.
You can give another user green or red rep by clicking the rep icon . It will then take you to a page and ask if you agree or disagree with that users post. Do be careful, flaming via rep will be treated as though it is flaming on the forum or via PM and you can be warned/banned for doing so.
You can check who has given you rep by looking at your User CP. If you see Grey Rep it has been given to you by someone who has red rep. They have no rep power.
You are limited to giving out rep 10 times over a 24 hour period and must rep 15 people before you can rep the same person again.
As with Points, Reputation means nothing. It allows members to have a bit of fun. Making a Rant complaining of Red Rep will more than likely make you incur more Red Rep.
What Is My Reputation Power?
Your rep power is the amount of rep you give to a user when repping them. Red rep power is half your green rep power. Kibondo made this handy tool that can calculate your reputation power http://www.absolutely-no.info/wf/rep-calc.html
ShoutBox/Chatroom
We get asked at least once a month about adding a Shoutbox. For a forum this size with the sheer volume of traffic it is very impractical. There are a couple of threads in the Word Games section of the forums which are basically used as a Shoutbox. Failing that, there's good old MSN or AIM.
Premium/Lifetime Membership
To help support the site and increase you're option on the site you can choose to buy either a Premium or Lifetime Membership.
The table below shows you what you get.
You also have the option of getting your name modified, not changed.
If you wish to buy a membership for another user you have to get their name and password from them, login to their account and purchase it that way. If whilst doing that you do anything to that users account, even make posts, you will be permanently banned. If you allow someone to buy a membership for you it may be wise to change your password afterwards. If you have any issues please PM Rajah or David.
Paid members are not above being warned or banned. You are treated the same way as any other user and paid members can find themselves permanently banned. Don't think that because you have bought a membership you can do what you want. Many paid members have been banned in the past.
Where Is My Premium Membership?
Premium Memberships can take anything up to 10 days to become active once you have paid for them. If the 10 days have elapsed and you still haven't received your membership then send a PM to Administrator with your paypal transaction ID. Also state what type of membership you purchased.
File Exchange & Wrestling Multimedia
To stop lurkers joining just to access the File Exchange and Wrestling Multimedia, we have set the forum so new members cannot access that section unless they have contributed to the site in the form of 25 posts.
If you feel you deserve access, as you have uploaded in the past and can prove that, please PM Rajah or David and ask them.
Do not PM the File Exchange or Wrestling Multimedia mods as they cannot grant you access.
Name Changes
We allow name modifications to Paid Members. We don't allow complete changes. We don't go for subtle changes either a few weeks after you've already had a change.
There is a Name Modification Thread in the VIP section for Paid Members to use. Don't send a PM to any Admin asking for a change as it will not be done.
Intelitxt Tags
It is a new advertisement program we are doing a trial on to gauge its effectiveness and see if it is a long term solution that we might be able to adopt.
To disable them simply click on your User CP (in the navbar) and click on "Edit Profile" -- Scroll down and look for the "Additional Information" area. You will see an area allowing you to "Disable Intellitxt Ads", simply check "yes" in the "Disable Intellitxt Ads" option and they will be turned off permanently.
Banking & Credits
Please note - Credits are for a bit of fun. They are of no value and do not mean anything.
As a rule they are as follows.
Credits Per Thread View: 1
Credits Per Thread: 15
Credits Per Reply: 5
They may be different for some sections and they may not be activated in some.
Credits are for a bit of fun. You can donate them to other users or use then to bet on vBookie Events.
1) Your checking account is like the money you have in your pocket. It earns you no interest, and it is there to be spent...or bet.
2) Your savings account is exactly what it says. A savings account. You earn 4% interest every 30 days on balances in your savings account.
3) Your total amount of points is the total figure of the balances in your savings and checking accounts combined.
4) Everytime you transfer money between your accounts, whether it be from your savings to checking or vice versa, a transaction fee of 2% is charged. This means 2% of the amount your are transferring, not on your total balance.
5) While some banks offer transaction free banking, the WF bank does not. However, most savings accounts offer an interest rate of around 3% annually. The WF bank offers 4% every thirty days. That's equivalent to around 60% annually. So no moaning about transaction fees
6) Loans can be taken for amounts varying from 100 credits to 1000 credits. You can take out more than one loan, but a minimum of 10% of the loaned amount must be paid back every 30 days. You can choose how frequently and by how much you wish to make repayments, should it be in excess of the minimum repayment requirements. You can also pay off a loan in a lump sum at any time. Simply put in the remaining amount owed in the amounts box, and make it so that payments are every 1 day. This will make a final payment.
7) Failure to make the minimum repayments will result penalties. These penalties will be monetary, and any credits you earn will subsequently go to paying off your debts. Failure to make these payments will also negatively affect your credit rating, and you will be much less likely to be given any future loans.
eStore & Gifts
During the recent upgrade the eStore was removed this was due to some security flaws found within it. Included in this removal was the removal of any services it provided this includes the ability for non-paid members to change their usertitle and also the removal of all gifts that were given using options in the store.
To stop lurkers joining just to access the File Exchange, we have set the forum so new members cannot access that section unless they have contributed to the site. If you feel you deserve access please PM Rajah or David and ask them.
Do not PM the File Exchange Mod as they cannot grant you access.
