Q&A Smashboards Questions Thread. Ask site-related questions here. (Staff answers preferred)

[flaco]

You don't pay to become a brommer you apply for it just to let you know and about the part of someone paying for you although you only pay to become premium

 

[B-Will]

I will warn the next person who posts without a question, or answers a question and they aren't a Mod.

Anyways, yeah one can no longer buy his/her way into the brooms. That option was removed in the latest changes regarding premium memberships.

When you get character specific mods, will you be choosing new people, or will you be just assigning already mods these rooms?

And I wanted to warn Falco

 

[flaco]

My bad guys am not perfect I forgot sorry anyways are you guys gonna make more forums room?

 

[Vicious Delicious]

Whatever happened to the monthly surveys for a chance to win premium, title, custom avatar, etc. Will they be done again? I really liked those...

 

[EEvisu]

How do I apply to join the BRoom?

 

[Wak]

*cough* uncle meat...

 

[Uncle Meat]

Actually, it's in Group Memberships. Just to let the BRoom know you're interested.

Wak...

 

[Dodongo]

D iane...

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

I noticed that there is a new mod, PrinceZane. Is he really a new mod or am I just high and never noticed him before? More importantly, does this have anything to do with character specific moderation?

 

[Wak]

He's remplacing MookieRah.

heh, stop asking about character specific moderation you all will find out soon what will happen with that.

stupid broomers and spamming this thread...

EDIT: Oh, and whoever asked about surveys it's really all up to Gideon. I assume that either 1) He's gotten too busy to maintain them or 2) He has no need to distribute them anymore.

 

[Sensai]

Concerning spoiler tags with the Opera browser:

I'm not sure how much you guys control this, but when something is put in between spoiler tags and viewed on Opera's browser (the desktop version, unsure of the Wii version), it is displayed simply has having a black background; with the site already being dark, it's difficult to differentiate between spoilers and normal text. Anyway you could tweak that?

...besides telling me to switch to FireFox?

 

[Kitten]

Would you guys consider perhaps making a sub-room of this Pool Room which is kind of like the Debate Hall in that it could be read by all but only posted in by a few. Admitting people to the room would be based on their post quality and to keep competition high, there could only be a certain number of spots available. I think it would probably provide for better posting because people would be trying to get in to the higher tiered room (same as the Pool Room, but maybe less strict rules or something).

Unless this room isn't active enough for a room like that to work.

The Back Room (2 Viewing)
This room is for valued SWF members. To possibly gain access you must be recognized as an excellent poster and a valuable SWF member.

The last thing Smashboards needs is more rooms, anyways. There are already several (basically) dead rooms drifting around Smashboards front pages, and that's never good for a forum.

My suggestion: Remove the RPG rooms. They're just taking up space, why are they still here?

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

Ah, I see. If you guys ever find yourselves short-handed, I have experience moderating on a few smash sites. Whether you guys care or not I am just putting the offer on the table.

 

[Skywalker]

Will we have the chance to vote for the categories in Forum Awards?

 

[Matt]

Nope. Staff decided them already.

 

[Duke]

How much Matt can a Matt pat pat if a Matt pat could tap Matt?

When are forum awards?

I see that nobody cares if uncle meat answerers anyway why does Duke has a different name that all others I mean it needs to be smash lord and he ain't premium why?

 

[McFox]

Forum awards will be done relatively soon. Keep your pants on.

 

[Earthbound360]

When was this site created?

 

[McFox]

Well, Gid's join date is August 21st, 2000. That's probably not the exact date, as dates in the archive have been messed up over the years, but it's somewhere around that time.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

I believe Wikipedia has it at 1999. Gid was 13 years old when he made this site.

Do you win anything in Forum Awards or is it just for bragging rights?

 

[marthsword]

If you become a smash child at 25 posts, how come I saw a member with 95 posts that had the title "smash n00b?"

Remove the RPG Section, it takes up space and nothing goes on

Is "Smash Scholar a real custom title? I noticed The Cape and SDM had it.

Ban questions: Is it possible to get an automatic ban without warnings leading up to it? If you get more than six points, is that how you get a permanent ban?

If rep ever comes back, we will start it over again, right? Meaning that everyone starts at ten rep points?

1st question: read the topic that talks about smash ranks in the pool room, it's in one of the stickies.

3rd question: read answer to first question

4th question: If you piss us off, we can temp ban or perma ban you whenever we want despite the amount of points you have. Also, getting six points for different infractions usually means you are merely temp banned and not perma banned; however, it can happen depending on the situation.

5th question: If rep comes back, it will most likely be a completely different system. Yes everyone will start over but there would be different rules involved. This is assuming rep comes back; don't expect it to come back soon, if not, ever.

 

[Duke]

Are there any other means of payment for premium membership? How about it B-will?

It isn't in there. I would know, as I wrote the FAQ. xD

A. They may have a custom title.
or
B. They haven't posted in a long time. Before a vB upgrade in August, the post count ranking called "Smash Child" didn't exist; any member with a post count of less than 100 would be titled "Smash n00b." If these inactive members were to post again, I guess they would automatically become a Smash Child. (Unless they had 99 posts, for then they'd turn into a Smash Journeyman).

Just clearing that up.

Also,
Would it be okay for me to add a guide about dodging the 10 character limit? (In the stickied Meet & Greet topic).

 

[B-Will]

heh...well in that case I'm not sure; hopefully another mod knows the answer to your question about smash child/noob.

With the dodging 10 character limit, I'd rather you not. I assume the other mods would feel the same way; there is a reason why that is enforced and I'd rather not have people abuse the ways to dodge it.

Other than the payment you gave me last night *wink*, Duke, and via paypal, I believe you can also mail your payment in but again, I'd like another mod to confirm this.

 

[Duke]

I don't have to put up with this, cut it out.

Custom Avatars


As a regular member, you can't have a custom title unless:

A. You're Duke
B. You have won 1st place in WWYP
C. You are a moderator or administrator

Hahaha, Why is that anyways?

 

[marthsword]

Why do some members not show up on the members list? And some of the ones that I searched for were active.

I noticed AlphaZealot was in a group membership called "temporary debaters," and they have paricipated in "Debat with your Power." How do you get the title, and what is Debate with your Power?

 

[Crimson King]

Don't tell how to avoid the 10 character thing. It's a warnable offense to do so.

Debate With Your Power is a Debate Contest that was supposed to go on this weekend, but I forgot so it will take place the weekend following next. Next weekend (Feb 2-4) will be sign ups. We'll have a sticky on it soon.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

Debate With Your Power is a lot like Write With Your Power in that it is a contest. For non-debaters to enter, they have the "Temporary Debaters" title so that non-debaters like yourself can enter for the contest held in the Debate Hall. It is a free membership, simply go to Group Memberships in your User CP and join group but only if you want to participate in DWYP. However, I don't know all the details so you should probably check with either Crimson King or Evil Eye for the specifics or wait for them to post something in the Debate Hall.

Suggestion: Would it be alright for members to volunteer to answer questions in this thread as long as they are correct? That way me or another member can save a mod the time of explaining it. To avoid worrying about if the answer is correct or not I simply won't answer if I'm not sure.

Edit: Crap, Crimson King beat me to it.

 

[marthsword]

Cool Im a temporary debater!

As a temp debater do I get access to the whole debate hall, or just a certain topic?

No, we'd rather not have regular member answer questions, only mods. This limits the amount of wrong responses that gets put in this thread. I'm sure a lot of you guys know what you are talking about, but at the same time, a lot of you guys don't as well.

I will warn the next person who posts without a question, or answers a question and they aren't a Mod.
