How do I know if I've been probationed? I don't have a message or anything, and it never said I was, but I can't get the 100 posts without penalty badge. Any idea what that's about?

Really helped me understand the forums more. Thanks

Those badges have a time restriction on them. You need to be here for at least two weeks to get Notable Poster (no mod wrath in that time). You joined about a week ago, that's why you haven't got the badge yet. If you get put on probation you will recieve a PM about it. So if you just wait a few days you will get the badge

Oh, you get it after the 2 weeks. I thought I would get it when I hit 100 posts. Thank you for answering.

thanks for the heads up.

I appreciate the use of warnings instead of probations for minor offenses nowadays. It seems like a couple months ago anything slighly disliked would attain a prohbation. Now its just a warning.

Thats what it seems like to me

but then my balls dropped.

Haha, "User was banned for this very informative and helpful post.'

It's a good post and I know now what to report to brown-nose my way to the top. xD Joke.

Hey Krunk,

I thought I'd point out that several more people have acquired the rare NeoBadge, I know for a fact that xitel has joined our ranks recently and I think one other Escapist has it as well. So I think there are now 5 People who have this badge.

Xitel, Berethond, and I, actually.

Whee! We're super-special-awesome!

Neon and Sanity also have Neos now. As well as some others probably.

It seems like everyone's getting Neo now.

He seems to have lost a tiny bit of his hard-to-get reputation.

Seeing as it's a one shot thing, I doubt he would be losing much of his reputation yet. Give it time and it may come to be but not yet.

As of this post, 26 accounts have been awarded the Neo badge. Remember that these forums are the same system as the WarCry forums, which have been around a lot longer.

And you have to remember that with the ever-growing forum population, it still remains at a very miniscule ratio. It's still just as rare as it ever was.

Updates Ahoy!

18/9/09: Changed 'only 3' to 'very few' with regards to those who havew acquired the Neo badge, to avoid confusion. Thanks to PedroSteckecilo for pointing that out.
19/9/09: Added Ultrajoe and Baby Tea to the mod list.

I was originally going to make a 'appeals' section, with a list of mods and staff to contact, but the OP is getting too big and unwieldy, and Preview is screwing up every so often to reflect this. It doesn't really matter though, because the message you recieve after you get Probed/Suspended/Banned asks you to do that if you must anyway.

If you just add a note that any of the mods can be contacted in the case of necessity and/or query it'll work.

How do you add videos?

 

[Zombie_Fish]

How do you add videos?

Type in *insert Youtube ID Here*[/b]] and from there just put in the bold section the video ID -- that's the part of a Youtube URL for a video after the watch?v=

Spoiler: So the part of the text in this spoiler that is in bold is the part that you would add to the youtube tag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htGmTJNsOr0

And the result would be the video below. If you still need help, just quote me and see what I write at the bottom of this post -- please note, with Youtube videos, you should put them in spoilers, the only reason why I'm not in this case is to make it easier to understand.

Fair enough. I'll write it in next time I get the chance.

 

[cathou]

is it a bug that several threads stopped to return to the first page after someone reply in them, or is it a new function to encourage some threads to die, by making them sunk in the forum order ?
