Why am I still a Rookie?


Ad Astra

 

Posted

Ok, I have been playing CoH for over 7 years now and posting stuff on the forums for almost that long. So, why am I still labeled "Rookie"?

Am I not chatty enough? - numbers of post? Is that the problem?


Every day I wake up is a good day.

Yeah, the whole label system deals with number of post.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

P.S. There is no Forum Cartel.
Really IB? Have you really posted over 18,000 times? I can see why they think you are running a cartel.

Also, I've noticed that replies to original posts do not up your numbers. That could be part of my problem here.

18k is nothing. I am pretty sure the Chinese have about 5 sweatshops dedicated to producing the emoticons for one particular user here.

Really? I had 18,448 before posting this.

Edit: And 18,449 afterward.

Didn't that same poster go from new account to forum cartel in around a week? Pretty much by posting one- or two-word responses with an emoticon, often several to the same post and apparently for each sentence?

Maybe. I won't go back the 55k posts to check.

Okay you have been here for 7 years but..

1. have you posted a minimum of 10 comments that sparked 10 pages of outraged replys?

2. have you engaged a minimum of 50 other forum members in heated debated that required at least 5-7 posts before you both got bored and looked for another argument?

3. have you been contacted via PM by a redname at least 4 times and told NOT to use personal slurs or attack a member personally?

4. has anyone actually put you on ignore becuase they simply can not stand your opinions any longer?

5. and perhaps the most important of all.. has anyone contacted you and given you your secret decoder ring and shown you the secret hand shake?


If the answer to any of these questions is no .. you are still a rookie.


LOL .. its all based on number of posts as previously mentioned. See you already had the answer but i just padded my post count by adding mine to the list. Go Hunt..... Post threads!

1. No.
2. Probably not 50, but close.
3. Yes. Including one PM asking what the other party had against me.
4. Not that they announced.
5. No.

Damn, I have some work to do.

Actually, replies DO boost your post count. Or I'd probably only have a couple hundred posts.

They so need to get rid of post count #s....



Although I guess if they did that, the whole Forum Games section would stop being used...

Yeah, we need less of that. If you want to ignore someone, feel free to do so. Just don't be a ##### drama queen and announce it to everyone.

Yes. Although not always outraged at me.

Yes. Although 5-7 is a trivially low hurdle there.

No. At least, not four times by the same red name.

And I still don't see the problem with the nazi dinosaur tank.

No idea.

I'm not at liberty to say.

Post counts and labels are so trivial.

1. Maybe
2. Yes and Sio probably has as well. Sio is just being bashful
3. No, but I tend to always break the signature rules lol.
4. Yes, two that I know of actually.
5. Wha?

Oh hell yea.

2. have you engaged a minimum of 50 other forum members in heated debated that required at least 5-7 posts before you both got bored and looked for another argument?

Lost count... but most likely yes. There tend to be a lot of repeating offenders, is hard to get a distinct count off the top of my head.

3. have you been contacted via PM by a redname at least 4 times and told NOT to use personal slurs or attack a member personally?

Never.

4. has anyone actually put you on ignore becuase they simply can not stand your opinions any longer?

Oh I'm certain of it.

5. and perhaps the most important of all.. has anyone contacted you and given you your secret decoder ring and shown you the secret hand shake?

Yes. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with Star Trek, The Federation, Hyperspace and Vulcan first contact. I cant reveal more than that. I may already had said too much.

Clearly you're not playing the game right. Less leveling, more posting. Honestly, how can any self-respecting multiyear veteran still be at rookie status. Get with it Angie.
