Now when you reach 500 posts, you become a "Veteran".
Advantages of being a Veteran:
-shorter flood control limit
-can delete own posts
-can lock own topics
-more personal message space
-blue coloured name
-can upload larger user photos (200x200 pixels). They are viewable in your profile.
Also, in order to prevent spam, you will be a New User before you gain 15 posts. The differences:
-longer flood control limit
-cannot email other members
-smaller PM space
-cannot create polls
-cannot edit topics and description
However, this is not a legitimate reason to spam, and if it is abused, I will remove it.
I'm also going to see if I can make it that all members who sign up must be approved by either Atrius or I (I'll go through the validation process every day).
Hey, this is a nice update. Thanks Charon.
Have a nice day.

For a while, it used to be possible to delete my own posts. Now I can't.
You can still edit them though. And, you can tell me to delete them :3
I have a question. If a post is deleted, then it is still logged (or rather, is it still viewable by the administrators)?
Have a nice day.

Yep. I just checked.
That is good. Just in case somebody deletes something that is worthy oh a ban (you should be fine for a while though).
Have a nice day.
:MercurySet:
Isn't deleting for that? You use it to take back something that was a mistake to say.
True, but what if they did not want to take it back, but they did to avoid getting banned? Or, what if they had a higher warning level (already did it in the past), and they did it again? However, there is probably nothing to worry about (at least until there are about 10+ Veterans).
Have a nice day.

@Charon's newest edit: NO NO NO!!! NOT THE VALIDATION PROCESS! I HATE THAT! Please no... :Sweat:
Oh Veteran Style now shall we, too bad Salanewt was the first to enjoy it. Good Luck! I shall be meeting you in the Veterans Group some day...... I hope.

"Too bad"? Anyway, you will probably make it up here much sooner than most other people, I am sure.
Have a nice day.
:MercurySet: :MercuryDjinni:
Yes, along with Jamie, his post per day is almost 4, mine's 2.2.
Well, why not post more then (both of you (and pretty much everyone else as well))?
Have a nice day.

Certainly higher than a lot of other peoples. This should move to the Cbox, and all of these off-topic posts should be deleted. And Charon should respond to my complaint about the validation process.
Validation process, I don't like it either, I figure it could be one of the things that will make people not even try registering because of that? But then again, that was just a thought. I wonder if they'll be any other groups pass Veteran. Just think: Super-Veteran
FIIIINE I WON'T DO IT
And if you can match up to Salanewt's 15.5 posts per day, then I tip my hat to you.
Thanks and... Really? Well, (edit) it is now 15.6. That really isn't hard to catch up to (although this is the only forum that I visit regularly).
Anyway, I would remove validation as well if members who are already registered do not like it.
Have a nice day.

@Charleysdrpepper: We'll probably have to add "general" or "super-veteran" when Salanewt reaches 1000 posts. XD
@Charon: You have a hat? Is it a top hat? XD
15.5, pretty sure I can make it eventually, if there are no due dates.
I would imagine that on some days, there is a hat. Remember the other avatar that Charon had until very recently?
Have a nice day.

I have a hat, but it's a fedora. I really want a top hat however.
Back on topic, I never actually changed that, guys. It... feels like an April Fools joke but it's rather stale feeling as well. I just wanted to get your opinions on it.
Ah. Anyway, I like this new group (it feels like it is an exlusive group right now). Also, I am thinking of changing my avatar until I finish making my other one... Any suggestions? I would like to change it because it is the same as my cursor (same colour too).
Have a nice day.

If this place becomes more active, I might raise the post count required to get to Veteran.
Don't worry, though - if you are a vet already by that time, your status will not be removed.
Sweet, thanks Charon. There would be not too many related horrors like having a well earned status removed because of an update. This is nice to know.
Have a nice day.
:MercurySet: :MercuryDjinni:
What is it going to be like 600 posts til Veteran if you do happen to raise the post count for it? Oh so I better hurry up then...
Type, Charley, type! Mwahahahahahaaaaa!
Wait though... By saying that the post count requirement might increase if more people join, then aren't you practically telling people not to advertise this website?
I am just giving you a hard time, don't worry about it.
Have a nice day.
:MercurySet: :MercuryDjinni:
I see exactly what you mean, so as soon as I become veteran we two shall advertise together (maybe, no definites) til she raises the post count =D. Hm! That'll be awhile?
Have a terrific Tuesday

Sounds like a plan. However, it might take a while.
Have a nice day.
:MercurySet: :MercuryDjinni:
Actually, Jamie has more posts. Then again, he's goin' away for a while so you can catch up.
3 weeks, it'll be EASY to catch up. Totally!
As long as his 3 weeks aren't canceled that is.
Have a terrific Tuesday

Oh, Charon, I thought that the Flood Control was 30 seconds still for me because the text has not been changed yet (when trying to post more than once within 15 seconds). I was wondering (and what the text says is not important) if that will be corrected any time soon.
Have a nice day.
:MercurySet: :MercuryDjinni:
That's weird. I keep putting in 15.
The admins don't have flood control and that seems to be working...
Oh,, well, the 15 seconds thing is working for me (I think), but the text has not changed.
Have a nice day.

When you can lock your own topics, is it possible to unlock them... for instances where you dont want anybody posting until the thread is complete?
