Hi there. As the title says, I'm new here and have some questions on how this message board works. Are there certain "ranks" that you become when have a certain amount of posts? How does Karma work? What are the stars underneath people's usernames? How do I get an avatar or signature? --edit Oh, and also, what does it mean if my account isn't activated? I sent out for the code but haven't received it yet. Does it make a difference? THanks! ;D

Hiya! Welcome to 667! okay answering your questions
1. These are the ranks you get here (currently your a nasty newcomer, oh and the numbers are the amount of posts) Nasty Newcomer- 0 Reptile Researcher- 10+ Catastrophic Captain- 50+ Formidable Foreman- 100+ Pessimistic Professor- 200+ Devious Doorman- 300+ Vindictive Villager- 400+ Splenetic Surgeon- 500+ False Fortune-Teller- 1,000+ Xenial Xylophone- 2,000+ Miserable Mariner- 3,000+ Corrupt Concierge- 4,000+ Definitely Doomed- 5,000+ Custom Title- 6670+
2.Other people can exalt you or smite you. exalting makes your karma go up and smiteing makes your karma go down. You can only exalt or smite once an hour
3.The stars are part of the rank, so because your only on rank one you have one star. Also Moderators have bronze stars instead.
4. Okay when you go on to your profile you can see a modify profile button (Where you can change your display name -my username is versatilevolunteer but I changed my name to Lucas-, Time zone, Location, Signature etc) and as you scroll down you should see a button that says none with ,Avatar, to the left. you can choose any of the default ones or if you want to get your own you can copy the URL of a picture and paste it in the Avatar URL box (make sure you don't have a default one on at the same time. To get the biggest picture for your avatar put in 100 for the avatar width and height. Oh and click the Modify Profile button when your done.
5. No it doesn't really make a difference but you should get the e-mail soon.
Okay, bye ;D
Edit: Oh, and this will might be moved to Gruesome Greetings but you did ask questions so maybe not. I'm would exalt you but I've already exalt someone a few minutes ago, so I'm gonna log into my Exalting User.

Hi, paisley. I'll just add to what Lucas has said above, but please feel free to ask more questions if you'd like: Generally, people may exalt you and you may exalt others if a post is likeable or interesting. For smiting, the opposite is true. You may modify a member's karma once per hour. They are based on the ranking system posted above. The more stars a member has the more posts that member has, save for the case of staff members, who have the larger stars you see on the left. There is more on this in the F.A.Q., but to summarize: You may choose an avatar from the drop-down menu by clicking "Profile" (on the top of every page) then "Modify Profile," or may upload your own in the space indicated. The same rule applies for signatures, only you should type the tag markers [im g] and [/i mg] before and after the direct link in order for it to appear in your profile. It doesn't particularly matter save for mass e-mails, which are rare. Try asking for the code again and checking your spam folder if you'd still like to activate it. Edit: And oops, didn't realize I had posted on the wrong board by bad! No, this is the board for questions. You posted in the right place.

Thanks so much for all the info I will definitely check out the FAQ thread. I guess one other question I have is, can you see who gave you karma, and can others see if you gave them karma? --oh, actually I just looked at that link from your last post, Lucas, and it answered my question. Thanks again!!!

Welcome No, you can't see who changed your karma.

No you can not, which is good if you have a grudge on someone and you smite them because they might have done something mean. But you shouldn't need to have a annoyed with anyone because everyone is nice!

AH! I keep posting at the same time as everyone!
Edit: Try not to double post like I just did by accident when Sheery Ann deleted her post (especially don't do it in the boards songbird moderates). The only time you can double post is in Willis' boards. Just thought I might tell you so you don't get warnings and stuff

The only time you can double post is in Willis' boards. Wasn't it only allowed Menacing Miscellanous, which is BSam's? But Willis doesn't mind too.

Oh, sorry Miss Anka, your right. I completely forgot about Menacing Miscellanous which I think was the original "Double posting is allowed" board. I think
