Final Conclusion on Premium Membership

[Roxasvsriku]

Due to the increasing number of premium members from abuse of the rep system, we have come up with a solution we all agree on. From this point on, you will be required to need both 1,000 posts and 50-70 rep points to recieve premium membership. You must also be a member here for atleast 3 months. We don't want to hear complaints on how this solution isn't "fair", because it's about as fair as it gets. I'm not going to point fingers, but I think you all realize that the system has been heavily abused over the last two weeks or so. Keep in mind that if you ask for rep, we will reduce your rep count to zero.

Can you have over 70 rep???

And that makes sense.

[Banana Split]

You had to change it on the day i get 100 rep. Thanks.

[Soku]

Eh, fair enough.*goes to post*

[Roxasvsriku]

Can you have over 70 rep???

And that makes sense.

Yeah, I mean you need atleast between 50-70 rep along with 1,000 posts.

[shadowjak]

What about those already with premium that don't have 1000 posts? That's the only thing I give a damn about here.

if i asked for rep then my rep would go up.

[Roxasvsriku]

The ones who were clearly cheating will be demoted... (Won't say who).

[shadowjak]

Good to hear I'm safe...

[Master Splinter]

Well this is just...wow
I'm guessing some members are gonna lose the premiumship huh?
Oh well...

[Knightshade]

Do premium users get to do anything that a normal user can't?

[Roxasvsriku]

if i asked for rep then my rep would go up.

If we catch you asking for rep, you will be reduced to zero.

[Soku]

if i asked for rep then my rep would go up.

Then they would just get rid of all your rep. :/

[Donaut]

So, does that mean anybody that has become premium within the last month will be demoted?

[Ghetto]

If we catch you asking for rep, you will be reduced to zero.

Then they would just get rid of all your rep. :/

zero is higher than negetive four.

[shadowjak]

He's saying he has negative rep guys

*facepalm*

[Catch the Rain]

LMAO ^^

Awww

[Soku]

He's saying he has negative rep guys

*facepalm*

Well, if he doesn't want to be red anymore, he still can't ask for it. You have to earn it like everyone else....

[Gravity]

That sounds like a good, fair decision. Thanks for changing it and keeping people from cheating. ^^

[Oerba Yun Fang]

Awright, good to hear a decision has been made.

[VideoGameNerd246]

It's about time. In my eyes, there seemed to be a bit too many Premiums coming and I thought it was just normal (it probably is) but at least the cheaters wont be able to become premium without doing it the old fasion way. I say this is a fair disicion.

[Ratchet]

Sounds very fair to me. There seems to be a huge increase in Premiums this last month on rep only.

[shadowjak]

I agree 100%

[Ienzo]

I didn't get prem through rep but I fid this dicision brilliant! Not for the people who would earn it fairly but it's the best way to stop the cheaters.

[Peyton]

i think this is a good call.
It's almost like when Arc only made the ones that deserved it premium.

[La Sofa]

Great idea! I need to work on the rep, but this is a perfect decsion! :noworries: :D

[Kingdom Glory]

What about people who only have over 1000 posts and NOT 50 rep?

[Master Splinter]

What about people who only have over 1000 posts and NOT 50 rep?

They'll lose their premiumship until they get 1000 posts and over 50 rep

[Kingdom Glory]

Really?
Okay, that's only a few reps for me =3
I don't mind this rule, it's totally fair.

[shadowjak]

They'll lose their premiumship until they get 1000 posts and over 50 rep

Lies and deceit. He earned it fairly, I'm positive he'll get to keep it.

[Master Splinter]

Lies and deceit. He earned it fairly, I'm positive he'll get to keep it.

wtf
I wasn't pointing fingers at anyone lol.
Yes he did earn it.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

I think only certain members will lose their premium status, depending on what the staff think is right.

[Master of the Onyx Flame]

this new rule is not friendly to those who stay in the spamzone...
do posts count in the RP threads?

[Oerba Yun Fang]

It wasn't friendly to spammers in the first place & to answer your second question...no, no they don't.

[shadowjak]

wtf

I actually originally editted it to 'they'll' and 'they'

Stupid errors >_>

But either way, you can't cheat posts, anyone with 1000 will keep it.

[O R A N G E]

I agree completely, good decision.

[eastercat]

Seems fair to me. ^_^

[Neku]

As for trying to decieve us, if we suspect someone, we ARE ABLE to go and look at who repped you, and why. So do not even bother to try it, otherwise, not only will you lose what you have, I will make sure to stick you at -10,000 so that you will NEVER get it.

[Joseki]

Meh, pulled one over on me. :3 Im fine with it.

So, I have to ask, do you get two red blocks for being -100 etc.? Because that would be quite hilarious to see such a large number of red blocks on someone's profile.

Is that your final answer?

[Roxasvsriku]

He's right.

If haven't lost your premiumship yet, we feel that you have earned it.

[shadowjak]

I know all!

:P

[Darkwatch]

Okay, I altered the promotion strategy in the control panel, RVR.

Anyone who now doesn't meet the new standards won't have premium anymore until they now reach it.

You need..
- 1000 posts
- 50+ rep
- 2 months membership (60 days)

Please do not patronise me. The way I read that was that anyone who NOW didn't fill the requirements as in NOW right at this moment, would have it taken until they did. I misunderstood, thats all.

I do.read.all.of.threads and would prefer not to be spoken to as though I am a retard who just stumbled into this.

No offense meant btw

That is all.

Well spoken.


Also, those of of you who ARE premium and got there [fairly] will keep your premium membership. But some will not, and they shall remain nameless. Anyway, enjoy your new goal. :D

I'm just saying, I discussed this with RVR already, and he answered twice that no one who hadn't already lost premium would be losing it.

[Roxas is Hot]

Glad we've finally got things settled then.

[JellyBeing]

I really like this idea. =D

But I have one question. Say if you have the rep and the 2 months, and then when you reach 1,000+ posts. Will your premship happen automatically, like it did before when you got 1000 posts, or do you have to ask the staff to switch it for you? :/

It never happened automatically. You have to inform a member of staff that you have reached the requirements for premium & they'll change you.

[JellyBeing]

Oh... okay.

I thought it happened automatically before, because some people when they reached 1000 posts kept saying "OMG, why am I not prem yet!" :/

Thanks~

[Roxasvsriku]

It never happened automatically. You have to inform a member of staff that you have reached the requirements for premium & they'll change you.

Actually, that's not true. It was only automatic if you got 1,000 posts. If you recieved 100 rep, then you had to inform a admin.

[Bou]

You guys can change the User Group requirements in the CP, go to the User Group Manager, then to your ID for Premium users. Then simply change the requirements to 1000 posts, and 50-70 karma, as well as a 90 day membership and it will automatically change them to Premium once they have achieved that.

Really? That never happened with me. It took a while for it to change, but i never bothered to ask either.

Anyways, I already said you guys are going to stay premium if you haven't been demoted yet.

[oblivion9794]

guess its fair but now i have even MORE work to do but oh well if ppl didnt cheat...

[SnoofyXChristhor]

satff? xD

Wait I have to hit prem another 50 times to re-claim my title of guy who hit prem most times.

So?

-whispers- Kajira -end of whispering-

[Repliku]

I don't mind at all waiting and think it's fair. It gives something to work for though I am not really sure what it gives a person either other than a change in nick/name color and an extra block and color change to show who's been around longest and posts well. I do think it's a good idea though. If it does anything else, can someone say what please? I read through the posts and did not see a response to someone else inquiring about that.

[Lithium]

The ones who were clearly cheating will be demoted... (Won't say who).

Ohohohoho. I don't think you need to >D Tis obvious who. Damn fools who spammed up the Music topic is a starting point, though. >_>

Well, honestly I think it's a great idea. I don't think Premium should've been able to get accessed so easily in the first place. Members should have to work hard to get it (and now they do >DD)

If I gave a damn about being Premium, I'm sure this'd affect me and you'd be hearing an angry rant, but alas, nay! :D

I hope this riles up those who were so desperate and close to getting Prem. How delicious. :3

[Darkwatch]

Well... Let's see how this goes. I'm sure that from the activity of the forum it shouldn't take long for some members to get up to premium.

However, it's also require you be here for 2 months first. So that's like...1 premium every week or something if we get 1 average active member weekly.

Epic.

We cannot say

[Royale]

I was just thinking. I think having to get 50-70 rep points shouldn't be a requirement. I say this because what if a member who isn't very well liked reaches 1,000 posts, but has barely any, or no rep points? People could de-rep the member or rep the member, which almost makes it seem impossible to reach premium because he'd continue to be de-repped and then repped again. Ugh, it's hard making sense when you're bloody tired. -_-

[Kroshanks]

I think it's a good choice. Kudos on doing something right
*claps*

[Gamefreak103]

Nice, looks fair to me.
Is this the second time requirements were change or is it the third?
