'Allo, governors.
Right then, before we dive right into this, there's one thing what you lot oughta know, that bein' that Ame ain't the kinda flower who like drollin' all on and what have you in long, borin' announcement posts. So what I do is take on random accents meself. I'd say it's more interestin' that way, innit? Now that said, we've got a bit to get sorted, so lend me your lords and peers and I'll try to make this quick.
First things first, and there ain't no denyin' that with all the blokes we've had what are poppin' in and out of 'ere that our forum's been a mite gummed up lately, eh? And although in the past we ain't had much to do what about enforcing forum moderation and all that pony, lately I've been seein' the quality of some replies been goin' a bit pear-shaped. So, the staff and some o' me chums figure out what we need 'round 'ere is some actual dedicated forum mods, and such jiggery pokery we ain't had much need to mess around with before. Not by half as now, at any right.
So, offer up a big round of applause for me mates joinin' up with whatcha call the forum mod team:
First up, Cowtao and Silver'll be signin' on as global mods, so I'll be expectin' all you tossers out there to give 'em the respect they deserve.
Second, we've got ol' Kamina/Berserker takin' charge of the Trainers' School sections and all the piddly bits underneath. He's top o' the ladder for you, and been active around those parts for yonks, so I trust he take goodly care of 'em.
Last, we're takin' on CobraKill to sort out the Pokemon Reborn sections. Mate's got a good loaf on 'em, but that's a lot of ground to cover, innit? And let's be 'onest, a rightly lot of it's knackered. So although CobraKill 'll be startin' us off, he likely ain't gonna be the only fellow 'round that block.
That said an' done, I'm much obliged to these blokes for takin' up the responsibility 'round here.
Now, for the rest of you lot, let's talk about just what it is this mean, shall we? If you ain't already seen it, I suggest you pop on over to the Forum Rule topic and make sure everyone's spot on about what's expected 'round 'ere. Not that I ain't glad for all the activity, but some the things I been seein' ain't right.
See, birds, we've got a bit of a system in this parts, whatcha call me old Reborn Rupees. Thing about it is, what that means is what every post you make is rewarded with a spot of $R. What it also means is every post you lot is makin' oughta be worth that $R. As such, it ain't right if Member A is makin' what are quality posts while member B is postin' rubbish, and they both gettin' the same amount of $R, innit? Cor blimey, that ain't right at all. And that, me chums, is exactly why we need this little 'crack down'.
Now, let's jump ship for a bit, shall we? Lately, I've 'eard a few mates complainin' about the Ace Member whatnot being buggered. Namely, they feel that some people is taking the mickey out of it by just givin' it away to their friends and what 'ave you. More's the pity, I say, for somethin' what oughta be a special status and place for rightly dedicated members of the site. So, accordingly, we've been makin' a few changes what'll hopefully tickle the fancy of those who're gettin' their knickers bundled up by that lot.
Firstly, there's now a post requirement in order to buy Ace Status, that number bein' 500. Pretty fair, innit?
But we 'ad to make a couple changes 'round that too. Such as, whatcha call the Adjust Post Count items 'ave been takin' out of the store. You're off your box if you think we're so daft as to let people just buy those items just to get around this limit. Ay, the whole system'd be brown bread if that we're the case.
Secondly, the Onyx Arcade ain't gonna be increasin' no one's post counts no longer. Most of the posts 'round there don't take much effort at all, and it's 'ardly fair to the rest of you lot if people can just spam their way to the limit there, don't you say?
Lastly, and this ain't got much to do with anything at all, but there's now a cap on the amount of $R Ace Members, staff and what have you can hold at any given time. Since there weren't previously, it was a spot of bother to have random admins traipsin' about what with nine gazillion $R, and I ain't even exaggeratin'. Ain't nobody likely to hit the cap of a million 'less they cheatin' the system anyway, and you'd got to be thick to believe otherwise.
All right, that's all I got for you lot. For those of you fellows anxious about League and Tier stuff, don't you worry your pretty little 'eads, we've got all that coming up right soon.
