Hello Dears!

In case you didn`t notice yet, there are a slew of shiny ranks (besides the usual Administrator, Moderator et cetera ones) listed just above the people online list:

And you probably wondered, hmm, what are these for, how do I obtain any of those, and what do I get from them?
Well, wonder no more, and look no further! This` a comprehensive guide about all of them, what benefits you`ll get from them, and how to obtain those.

* Donator rank picture under your username in threads.
* Ability to customize your User Title under your User Name in threads!
* Access to the Twink Chat Box!
* Larger Private Message Box (Regular User = 10, Donor = 2000)!
* Larger Avatars (Regular User = 80x80, Donor = 160x160)!
* Access to the secretive MVP | Donator | Veteran Lounge!

Hello Dears,

As I`m kinda missing a centralised guide-thread-thingy that`s explaining how everything is working here on TI, I just decided to go ahead and create my very own for your all`s benefit! <3

I`m sure I`ve missed a lot of (yet) undocumented stuff, especially some of the numbers (the information is either outdated, unclear and/or conflicting, so some clarification would help), so feel free to suggest additions.

Usergroups:
There are a few other Usergroups than the usual Administrator and Moderator ones, namely the Guide Author, Donator, Veteran and MVP ones.
After some research, I`ve found out that the latter four will all grant the same extra permissions as the Donator does; you can read up the donator perks here:
* Purple User Name.
* Donator rank picture under your username in threads.
* Ability to customize your User Title under your User Name in threads!
* Access to the Twink Chat Box!
* Larger Private Message Box (Regular User = 10, Donor = 2000)!
* Larger Avatars (Regular User = 80x80, Donor = 160x160)!
* Access to the secretive MVP | Donator | Veteran Lounge!

The usergroups are, for now the only thing that I`ve remembered (there were some other stuff that came to my mind once upon a time, but I forgot them xd), so this will get expanded should I reminisce.

And thanks to Broken for his update!

<3, Sela

Re: Sela`s guide to Twink Info!

I could do that; they`re all the same (donator perks), right?
 
Re: Sela`s guide to Twink Info!

My source told me that its either 2 years and 1500 posts or 3 years and 750. Its a post from two years ago tho, so things might`ve changed ever since.

What's the current situation?
 
Re: Sela`s guide to Twink Info!

*Veteran: Have an account of sufficient age and post count. There are two threshold-tiers for it; 2 years and 1500 posts, or 3 years and 750 posts (http://www.twinkinfo.com/forums/f63/ti-addict-retooled-creation-ti-veteran-rank-30098/)

The current criteria for the Veteran title is 3 years and 250 posts. That's how we hand out the titles at the moment and was also stated in one of Shane's posts, later in that thread you linked.

*MVP: Be nominated for it by a sufficient amount of users, then voted to become one by the TI Administration. I was unable to deduce the exact numbers required for it, as the information seems to be unclear, outdated and/or confusing (for instance, regular members can nominate people for MVPs, contrary to what`s documented).

At the moment, when a person gets 2 separate votes, the staff gets a notification about it. We then personally review the votes and poster's history to decide whether or not he actually deserves the title. Though cases are rare, even if someone doesn't vote seriously or abuses it, it'll still have to get through us.

It is possible for nominees to get more than 2 votes. However, 2 is the minimum.

Hope the info helps! Nice thread!
 
Re: Sela`s guide to Twink Info!

Thanks, much appreciated, updated the thread with this.
 
Re: Sela`s guide to Twink Info!

Neat idea for a guide! As it stands, I'd suggest renaming it to "Sela's guide to Twink Info Ranks!" or something similar.
 
Re: Sela`s guide to Twink Info!

Yes, probably.
I intended this to be a comprehensive guide to TI, but I`ve forget everything else I intended to write about. xd
Maybe I should just add in the 'obvious' stuff (read the CoC, make 10 posts to create new threads, et cetera)?
Otherwise, a rename`d be fine.
 
I renamed it for now but if you add more to the guide, then we can always rename it again. Renaming is like a 2 second thingie so no big issue.

Gonna sticky this in the Intro's sub-forum too, so that new members can easily find it and learn about the ranks. :0
