You missed my point. It's not about "you're wrong and I'm right" or "I want you to apologize now" or anything like that - it's about feeling the need to interfere with something that works fine, is fun for those who participate in it, and doesn't bother anyone. And, what's worse, the need to interfere with it just for the sake of interfering, as opposed to interfering because there actually is a good reason.

And of course, I've been wrong on countless things in my life, and I've been critiziced for it, sometimes in a very vocal manner - and in those cases where I spouted complete nonsense, it was deserved, too. I do apologize if you felt it was too harsh (it wasn't my intention to make it seem like a personal attack), but sometimes, a verbal bitch-slap is much more effective than anything else.

Oh well.

Meanie. :)

Achievements that would NOT be acceptable to be posted in the LUL:
[...]
- Level Ups from LV 2 - 9.

I think level 9 at least should be acceptable - that's what many people seem to perceive as the end of the "noob" levels.

- Blam/Protect Rank Ups from Security Guard to Police Officer.

Police Officer should also be acceptable.

- Any posts achievement. Really, post count is a shitty stat, and one that shouldn't be held up alongside B/P, EXP, etc.

I think that's not a good rule, either. Interesting numbers should still be post-able - just like interesting numbers of blams, saves, points, XP and so on.

- Any post that relates to a level up in the future. No one cares if you need 555 EXP points to reach the next level or if you have 20 days left till Level Up. WAIT TILL YOU REACH THAT LEVEL, and then post about it.

That sounds reasonable.

Congrats stuff that would be acceptable:
- Posting specific congrats, e.g. User - EG General

Congrats stuff that wouldn't be acceptable:
- posting generic congrats, e.g. User - rank up

Where's the real difference between these things? Sure, you're not as specific when you just say "rank up" instead of naming the new rank, but that's a pretty small difference to base (un)acceptability on.

- generic 'congrats to everyone who achieved anything' posts

NOTE: If you get something like a Level Up and happen to have 1,200 blams at the same time, please just mention the Level Up. In other words, crappy achievements shouldn't be justified just because they happen at the same time as a good achievement.

What counts as crappy, though? 1200 blams are not really that noteworthy in themselves, so they probably wouldn't deserve a post of their own, but if you're already making a post, anyway, why shouldn't you be allowed to include "minor" achievements like that?

"Minor" in the sense of "interesting numbers that are not quite interesting enough to deserve a post of their own, but still somewhat interesting". I.e., 1200 would probably be a minor achievement; 1836 would not be. I personally also think that 1200 is more noteworthy than, say, 10200; when you already have 10000 points in any stat, then another 200 more isn't really much of a difference, but if you "only" have 1000, then it's a bigger accomplishment really.

Maybe I've gone into too much detail, especially on the Rank # rules, for these to be followed correctly. But then, isn't that what we need, a clear set of guidelines/rules? I dunno. Comments/Additions/Disagreements, please.

I think overall, the rules look quite OK. One thing I'm wondering about, though, is the following: why is there a need for rules at all? The topic is quite fine the way it is currently, after all, and the rules seem to be written in a way that would mean that more or less everything that's being posted now would still be allowed, too. Why establish rules if they ultimately boil down to a no-op?

I was thinking, if phantom_spanker agrees, maybe w should have a mod add on the rules to the end of the first post so we can just send the newcomers to the first page, mods can edit posts right? Maybe no. Just an idea once we get it all laid out.

I don't see what's wrong with 4,321 and 1,234 points, they're not that common. I agree on the others, though.

Anyways, I'm glad the LUL isn't changing after all, except for the proposed rules, wich are a good idea. It's a bit annoying to see posts like 'I just reached Safety Patrol' or whatever, since there are thousands of people with that same rank.

Heh, I never thought of using the old computer to go on the internet until last night, my sister decides to use Dial-up to go on the internet. However, I have to pay 1p a minute for dial-up, so it's only one hour on the internet a day, but I might not have to worry since the comuter might be back tomorrow. If not, then I will pay an extra 60p to go on the internet tomorrow.

The reason I have to use Dial-up for the old computer is because Broadband wouldn't work for 1st Edition Windows 98, but would work for 2nd Edition. >:( Ah fuck!

Sorry people, but no congrats list. :( My time is very limited right now and I've spent almost half of the time already. :S So that also means I havn't properly read everyone's posts.

Hmm, other than that, my real life friend will be joining Newgrounds tomorrow and he's nicely depositing for me. :) Don't worry, I've told him to read the FAQ, so hopefully, he won't cause any trouble here.

BTW Alkador, I know there's important things that I need to know about the LUL, so please drop the information that I need to know onto my latest LiveJournal entry. :)

If tehy can't feel good about small achievments, they may never strive for the big ones.

My opinion.

Thanks for your comments Kyle, but I have to disagree with you about the levels. It only takes 5 days to level up in the static levels. It's barely an accomplishment, and when we're trying to cut out needless stat posts from this place, low level ups should be one of the first to go.

Now, as for the whistle, I was excited when I got my silver whistle too, but it's not a major accomplishment in terms of effort. It just takes a little bit of flagging, Wade clears out the flagged entries and reviews, and BAM, silver whistle. But, on second thought, most people only ever get to see that whistle level and it does seem special at the time. Also, there weren't that many silver whistle posts in here before anyway, so maybe they should be allowed.

No. It still only takes 5 days from LV 8 to LV 9. The end of the n00b levels would really be LV 10, the first level that takes about three months to gain. If LV 9 was allowed, all the other low levels would have to be allowed, too.

- Blam/Protect Rank Ups from Security Guard to Police Officer.

Police Officer should also be acceptable.

Shit, there's an error there. I meant to say Police Lieutenant, i.e. anything below 1,000 b/p wouldn't be acceptable. Because there are such small gaps between ranks in the sub-1000 range, it would mean people posting b/p achievements every few days, if they were quite active on the Portal.

- Any posts achievement. Really, post count is a shitty stat, and one that shouldn't be held up alongside B/P, EXP, etc.

I think that's not a good rule, either. Interesting numbers should still be post-able - just like interesting numbers of blams, saves, points, XP and so on.

I have no problem with interesting numbers, just the post count statistic, and the idea of celebrating it like it's worth anything. B/P, EXP, reviews etc, they're all something to be proud of, but not post count, surely?

They don't. A lot of the things I suggested aren't acceptable have been posted here for months. This place is far from fine, I don't know where you got that idea. The LUL has been growing at an insane rate and is full of minor achievements that shouldn't have been posted, and it got so bad that many of the old regulars stopped posting or even browsing this thread. Why do you think RedCircle went to the extreme of making a new lounge?

We need a clear set of rules to keep unneccesary posts to a minimum and restore the LUL to it's former glory, a place where people can post, come back the next day and not be faced with 2 new pages full of shit that they don't have time to read. I hope that explained the need for formal rules. Thanks for your comments, schneelocke.

Hmm, yeah they aren't too bad, I suppose. It's the ones like 1,222 blams or w/e that need to stop. So, maybe those above examples should be allowed.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I'd like to see gone from this place. Everyone likes the attention they get from posting an achievement here, but it's out of hand and needs to calm down a little. If people just waited till they got a major achievement, instead of posting every little thing, maybe we'd have a slower paced LUL that everyone can enjoy.

I suppose, but maybe at least level 9 should be aloud... because to get to level 9 is almost equivilent to getting one level later on. I just feel that actual newcomers will think as a level up as an exciting accomplishment, even if to us, it seems miniscule.

Now, as for the whistle, I was excited when I got my silver whistle too, but it's not a major accomplishment in terms of effort.

Ya, that was kind of my logic. Few people even flag, and since Gold is so hard... Silver seems like a good stepping stone and most people (who are deciated) skip right past Bronze, which seems like a BIG accomplishment at the time.

I understand where you are coming from, but generally i agreed with everything you said., Some nice quidlines they were.

I am not sure about the update page for windows in the UK but in the US you can get 98 1st edition upgraded to 2nd edition. Or at least you could prior to XP's release. At any rate you should still be able to get the upgrade on CD. Pop in a network card and walaa. A small penance in order to have a backup box for net use. :)

That sucks about your experience at Red Robin ReconRebel. When you say that your friends "lost it" does that mean that they laughed at you? Because if they did then that isn't very nice because what happened to you happened due to negligence.

I've actually only ate at Red Robin once... and I went there with these two really hot girls. It was probably one of my favorite times of the summer last year.

I'm at a tough situation right now with quitting mcdonalds though. This morning I had my Red Robin orientation. Then I walk into mcdonalds to work and I find out that I was employee of the month. Employee of the month gets a $50 gift certificate for the mall. Which is cool in one way and not really cool in another way. The cool thing is that Mcdonalds actually gave me something. The bad thing is that people there might hate me if I say that I'm quitting by the end of the month after just becoming employee of the month. I think the entire idea of employee of the month is so that a shitty ass place like mcdonalds can keep their good workers... they want them to stay and feel bad for leaving. hah oh well... I'm still thinking about just working two days a week at mcdonalds when I start at Red Robin. After that I could think about quitting. But there are so many hot girls that work at Red Robin and I enjoy cooking.. it's going to be a fun summer.

I have no idea. And I got the idea that things are fine right here - granted, I've only been following the topic for a few months, so I can't say whether it somehow got worse than it worse before that time, but it always seemed fine to me. And about the only thing that I can think of that would be against the rules is the occasional post by new(er) users (I don't really want to call them newbies - that always seems to sound condescending) who post things like Level 9, or Police Lieutenant, or so. There're not that many, though, and I think it's a good thing to acknowledge these things and encourage people to keep on participating. They just may be tomorrow's blam queens (or at least valuable users who help keep the crap out of the portal while making sure the good stuff goes in ^_^).

We need a clear set of rules to keep unneccesary posts to a minimum and restore the LUL to it's former glory, a place where people can post, come back the next day and not be faced with 2 new pages full of shit that they don't have time to read.

damnit!!! I've been coming to NG since it first started back around '96/'97

and I only get a gold account A MONTH ago. Had I gotten it when they first issued the "level up" system I would prob. be like a lvl 30 or so by now

(

so unfair,

how i wish i could turn back the clock...

i know how you feel man, i think i first came here in '99. think of the exp i could get actually

365x6=2190
thats 21,900exps i could've accumulated by now which would actually put me at no.1

anywho i'm here now and i've just reached 500 blams, i'm happy with that

Hey guys! I'm really getting close to Elite Guard Master Sergeant and Lv. 10!

I can feel the power burning inside me! ^_^

Maybe lets hope so. Its a cool rank. I going for it hopeful by the end of this summer.

now for the good part
1. SpriteTT#5 Legend Of Link, Daily Feature, 4/26/05
That's all he won during April XD, meaning no one last month got two placings (or at least 2 or more that outweigh what whatever a daily first equals)

So nobody had two daily firsts. that seems kind of odd just winning Kotp just on that. I think if someone won a two 2nd place awards they would beat Xana

So i inquire as to how HE in specific won, since his submissions really only did OK rating wise :(

I thought it was based on off this not the exact ratings
Daily First -3 points
Daily Second -2 points
Daily Third - 1 points
Obviously the user with most points in the last month wins kotp.

Finally thanks to people in the future that congratz me.
