# User Permissions and Promotions

1. Upon registration, users have permission to access about 95% of the board's topics and features. This includes profiles, galleries, avatars, signatures, private messages and chat.
2. There are a few features and forums that are only accessible through promotion: Playground, Portraits, Exhibition, custom titles.
3. To be promoted, you must meet 3 requirements: You must be a member for more than a month, you must have a minimum post count of 50, and you must pass a moderator inspection of the quality of your posts.
4. Members also have the opportunity to become part of the moderator staff. To be elligible, you must maintain a clean record, a prominent place in the community through continued quality contribution, and you must submit an application when they are called for by the staff.

I meet those requirements

ShaniFaye · 04-12-2009, 03:32 PM

my guess? it says more than a month, you're only a few days past that and they probably havent done 3 yet

There have been a lot of back-room issues cooking the last few weeks, so we're behind on post reviews. It's a very labor-intensive process and not one we take particularly lightly, given what some of the things behind that door are.

Thanks for being patient and we'll get to it when we can.

And thanks for the answer, Shani.

Wrexify · 05-04-2009, 10:48 AM

Figured I'd post here instead of making a new thread on the topic.

Do I need to request a moderator inspection, or is it just something you guys are constantly working on? I don't think I've made it a full month yet so I don't meet all of the requirements, but was just wondering for the near future. Thanks!

The_Jazz · 05-04-2009, 11:51 AM

It's a constant thing. Typically we have between 5 and 8 people who have reached various landmarks. The software automatically creates a list, and we have to review. We try to check once a day, but if something falls through, there can be a backlog that takes a while to get through.

Currently there is no backlog.

Willravel · 06-05-2009, 12:20 PM

I feel like I'm going nuts, I don't see where the edit option is in the user title in the User CP.

Baraka_Guru · 06-05-2009, 12:22 PM

Will, it should be under "Edit Your Details."

Willravel · 06-05-2009, 12:45 PM

It doesn't seem to be there. I see Email and Password, DOB, Home Page, Instant Messaging, Bio, Location, Interests, Occupation, and Sex. Is this a feature which can be disabled? Or maybe a glitch?

Shauk · 06-05-2009, 03:14 PM

mine isn't there either, I know I used to have it >.<

Redlemon · 06-06-2009, 10:30 AM

It's still there for me...

Willravel · 06-06-2009, 10:34 AM

So I'm guessing that it's not a glitch but rather an option that was taken away?

Cynthetiq · 06-06-2009, 10:52 AM

you have the same access level as others who can see the same thing.... not sure why you can't see it.

Jozrael · 06-06-2009, 10:56 AM

Btw, thanks for the absolutely crystal clear exposition of how to gain access in this thread. I haven't seen anything so straightforward on any other thread in TFP xD.

MSD · 06-08-2009, 01:47 PM

I just want to chime in that the vB3 user CP is a fucking mess and usually takes me forever to find what I'm looking for. It took me 10 minutes to change my avatar, title, and signature last time I did it.

Willravel · 06-08-2009, 01:53 PM

I still don't see it. And yes, this version isn't quite as intuitive as the previous.

The_Jazz · 06-08-2009, 02:01 PM

Will, I've actually got the same problem that I just get around by editing my user profile off of my profile page. You have to log back in and it's a bit of a pain, but it works.

Willravel · 06-23-2009, 10:32 AM

That doesn't seem to work. It didn't appear and now it's reverted to "Junkie".

The_Jazz · 06-23-2009, 10:40 AM

Will, check your PM's.

Vigilante · 07-05-2009, 06:13 PM

So is it possible to keep my "post of the month" icon and have a custom user title?

dd3953 · 07-05-2009, 07:23 PM

Hm, now I'm wondering where I stand. Cuz if step three has happened for me, nothing has changed in my 'Edit your details' section.

Cynthetiq · 07-05-2009, 07:29 PM

the safe assumption is that you probably haven't gotten to step 3.

re: the badge, no i have to remove that....been removing them when I find them.
