Come on now for this guy it is a real achievement. Though that level he is at now would have been more of an Achievement if the levels were on the sliding scale still though.

Nevertheless, we don't congratulate for any lower than level 10. I wouldn't have been an asshole about it myself if he hadn't been an asshole about not being congratulated, though.

So that is why I never anyone getting cograts for under level 10. finding this out sort of make me want to stop down playing my own milestones. Sigh I remember when they meant a whole lot more to me then they do now. Though I do remember when everyone did give congrats for that but it feels like it was so long ago even though it hasn't even been 6 months yet.

SHANUS' IDIOT, NON ACHIEVEMENT LIST

NickJrRules - You are not level 12 in 9 days, don't be silly, say your achievements when they happen, or say somethin useful before you tell us of up comming level ups

zombiemassacre - Safety Patrol is not an achievement as it's quite easy to get, 1000+B/P point ranks are counted as achievements. JUst wait till then, honest mistake and quite forgivable, so it's ok :D & level 8 is not an achievement, read below

tluck81 - Any level below 10 doesn't count as an achievement as the 1-9 level sare easy and take not commitments, sorry

firemario1 - Same score as with zombiemassacre, but at least ya knew it was crap :D

shadowchaotailsevil3 - 1300 Saves is not an achievement, only multiples of 1000, same numbers & acending or decending numbers are.

I get more when I'm on the portal for longer with Portal Guard running, been a while since I used it.

Heh, nice one. Gotta love government grants. I'm sad my little Euro sign didn't work though, it just came out as 'EU'. =(

You shouldn't downplay your achievements so much, cos all the ones you've posted lately are good solid achievements. Much more so than some of the stuff that gets posted here... for example '1,300 saves' (you know who you are).

I think it's been necessary to tighten up the achievement requisites in here, though, as we had a phase a month or so ago (maybe a bit longer) when some spammers thought it would be hilarious to post a load of non-achievements, such as '412 posts' and '19 reviews', and then other newer users started thinking that almost anything could be counted as an achievement, and it escalated.

It's a shame that we have to tell users that what they though was an achievement actually wasn't one by our standards, but in light of the past spam-attacks, it's become necessary to keep the thread from falling apart. Bahamut was seriously contemplating leaving at the time of those 'spam-attacks', and he still is now to an extent, and without the list makers, this thread becomes pretty much pointless. We don't have any mods in here to keep the order, save the sporadic appearances of absent, so we need higher level users like Coop83 and Bahamut to keep the lower level, potential spammers in check.

How do you prepare for anything at all here? No matter what happens, we'll pretty much just have to deal.

I have noticed a lot more +1 posting in the Wi/Ht lately though. Most prominently in Rage's Abusive Reviews thread. It annoys me most when I see people +1 posting in the LUL though, largely because of the amount of effort the list makers (including myself) put into keeping this place worthwhile. It's never nice to see people pissing on your efforts.

Yes, that certainly... just to make sure, BTW, when you say "+1 posting", do you mean literal "+1" posts (or at least posts devoid of any actual content and that are obviously just made to increase post counts), or posts that, while having content, are irrelevant and pointless (and that, while presumably being made to increase post counts, might conceivably have been made in good faith as well?

At 12/11/07 08:29 AM, Coop83 wrote: I hope that it will be for good, but I'm really sitting on the fence for the time being.

I'm confident it will. Why would the team reform the XP/Level system and get rid of the sliding requirements only to introduce them again? Given that the only evidence for that is an FAQ entry that is - with the exception of the maximum level being changed to 60 - is a relic from the old system, to the point where it doesn't even accurately describe the facts of the new system anymore, I think there's no way one can reasonably believe that there'll be sliding requirements again at some point.

Under the old system, we never used to congratulate levels 2-9 because they took 5 days each to achieve. It's not that much now and by ignoring people who blatantly spam the place, we hope they get bored and go away. From then, they can either return with worthwhile achievements or not at all, both of which suit me.

I think there's no way one can reasonably believe that there'll be sliding requirements again at some point.

Given that the system seems not to have changed, aside from the new levels / fixed requirements, I find it reasonable to deduce that it is possible for the sliding scale to reappear, once a user reaches level 60 and continues to deposit.

So... in essence, you're saying "aside from everything that has changed, the system hasn't changed, therefore, anything and everything is possible"? Well, yes; that's certainly true.

And of course it's possible to for the sliding scale to reappear. It's also reasonable to assume that it's possible for that to happen (obviously, since it IS possible), but it's not reasonable to assume that it WILL happen, even if it's "probably", "more likely than not" or even "with a more than theoretical chance". There is absolutely no evidence for that, and much evidence against it.

Yeah, but you'll be younger by the time you get rich and successful. It'll all work out.

I get more when I'm on the portal for longer with Portal Guard running, been a while since I used it.

I've never used portal guard, personally. Maybe I'll put it on my laptop, once it's fixed.

500Euro out of nowhere came in the post today, christmas present money me thinks :P

Best. Letter. Ever.

Yeah, not too sure about this one. My personal standards dictate that total stats are only achievements every multiple of 5,000, seeing how it's EXP, B/P, Posts, and Reviews put together. It's just too easy to get multiples of 1,000 in total stats.

I noticed =) I suppose it's better to be modest than to be arrogant, though.

Big time congrats YoinK!! The gold gauntlet is still one of the best looking icons out there.

It's nice, but I have to say I preferred the old golden gauntlet to the new one.

Well, yeah. If people are going to get pissed off and flame us when we don't congratulate them for something that we don't consider an achievement, then they shouldn't come here.

Given that the system seems not to have changed, aside from the new levels / fixed requirements, I find it reasonable to deduce that it is possible for the sliding scale to reappear, once a user reaches level 60 and continues to deposit.

I think there's arguments for both sides with this one. I can see the sliding level requirements returning once someone reaches level 60, but we won't know for certain until someone does get there, which won't be for a while yet. So let's all enjoy this period of static level requirements =)

Yeahhh, I'm now a slave to the system. At least the pension scheme is good =P

Mmm, yeah, I can see why. Is the first kind of post actually allowed on the BBS?

No, it's a bannable offense. "Bumping any old topic without a good reason and new information" is against the rules. I think a handful of users may have been banned for it, though you can never really be sure if they've been banned or if they just get bored and stop posting.

I've had some bad experiences with ordering stuff, but most of the time, my stuff gets posted here pretty quickly. :D

Indeed, all good things must come to an end. I don't think I'll ever fully retire from this thread, partly because at present it's one of the few threads I actually bother to post in regularly, but also because I like the kind of people in here (for the most part).

Yeah, this is one of the few threads I post in daily. I wouldn't like to leave this place, but I can't stand all the garbage that has been posted here recently.

A shame indeed. The General forum is full of shit nowadays. If they locked the General forum, it wouldn't bother me.

Officer - Nice list! :) And don't worry, I can't write that "Praporshcieknfdefw"-thingy without looking at my profile either :P

It's also reasonable to assume that it's possible for that to happen (obviously, since it IS possible), but it's not reasonable to assume that it WILL happen, even if it's "probably", "more likely than not" or even "with a more than theoretical chance". There is absolutely no evidence for that, and much evidence against it.

And it's no use to make a fuss about that topic for now either :P . I mean, it's about two and a half years until Pimp (or someone else) will reach that level, no need to rack one's brains about that topic now ;) .

I just thought about that and I think that I am the oldest list-maker here... account-wise and most likely even age-wise. :(
