I have to agree there. Although, again, I know there would be people that would have more problems with that. :D

I think join date is the first thing to accept on then if they have a 1000 actual posts and have been here at least a year then they have proved themselves...if they have been here 3 months and have 1000 posts then there has been some serious spamming going on that just wasn't caught...not to say that is 100% true but it is hard to believe they have posted 1000 quality posts in 3 months...just my opinion though.

I don't care if people don't like it, this should be a prelivage not a right...voting people in after the initial pull in is the way to go.

hey!!! i have almost 1000 post and i didnt spam. most my opinoins are in the debate and discuss.

i think you're totaly right, it took m almost 6months to get like 500psts.XD.
im pretty proud of my posts though ^_^,

I didnt even noticed that the s/o box was gone.(neither did i noticed when it was up until i seen the thread :P). so its no real loss, but its glad to see post count will be resuming its usual activity, yet im also upset that it will.......

This new vet group seems to be promising. my only question is.. Is this gonna be selective?, id be more at ease if it was.:omg:

i like this new vet group ,you have came up with but sasurai is right though selctiveness is a good idea because everyone one will be be breaking there fiinger posting alot respones even if they have no clue what the thread is about just to get to 1000

I applaud this action. I knew it would bring a drop inposts, it did when the shout box was brought in back in AnimeReflections.

I've been a mod for a forum before, Trust me, you don't want to be one, and like Pyoro-Pyoro said, its not all fun and games. There's this little thing called "Responsablity" ;)

Yea~ 50 opinion~for each thread~

I been here longer than you, and yea very active~

4 months of Spam babe~

I've only been here 7, and some weeks~ And I only have 700 something~

And I post~
~~

And mods don't do Drama~!! They stop it~

[Anywho]

o.o This vet things been going on long, they just started adding people to it~ Nothing new~ >.> I like me Clan Fine~

I think I join that clan in a few years~ :P

It's unfortunate that the shoutbox has been removed, but if it was the cause for a drop in the number of posts, then it's probably a good idea that it was removed. ^_^

Vetrien Group = fancy name for Veteran Group? It sounds like a good idea - something above Elite Group status gives members something else to aim for even after reaching Elite status. I hope it won't encourage spam though lol. I like the idea of the Vetrien status determined by either post count or joined date. If it was merely determined by the joined date, it wouldn't be fair for members who joined in 2005 and later, but are active with good quality posts.

Eh, what's all this talk about wanting to be a Mod? The idea might seem appealing, but it's not a walk in the park lol. I personally admire the way the Mods here can handle certain situations, and honestly speaking, not everyone's capable of doing so. AO doesn't seem to need any more Mods at the moment, so we should let the matter drop for now. :2thumbs:

i don't really care about the shoutbox, it never let me use it anyway. i'd click on the typebar-thingymabob and it would take me to the profile of whoever was directly under it.
