Post Ranks & Status

Wwe Adam wrote:

This thread will teach you everything you need to know about post ranks, what they are and why they can be good or bad.

Post ranks are rankings you receive under your name depending on your behavior or post count. Each number below is the amount of posts required to obtain each rank under your name and how many stars you will have upon it.

0 - Please Review The Rules - Stars: 0
30 - Tour Taker - Stars: 0
100 - Tour Guider - Stars: 1
150 - Jet Flyer - Stars: 1
300 - Newspaper Reader - Stars: 2
400 - Wave Catcher - Stars: 2
500 - Ice Thinner - Stars: 3
750 - Mission Taker - Stars: 3
1000 - Secret Agent - Stars: 4
1500 - Rockhopper Lookout - Stars: 4
2000 - Puffle Breeder - Stars: 4
2500 - Hockey Puck Hitter - Stars: 4
3000 - Snowball Warrior - Stars: 5
3500 - Igloo Designer - Stars: 5
4000 - Hydro Biscuit - Stars: 5
4500 - Slope Slider - Stars: 5
5000 - New Rank Star for Puffle Yarr - New Set Stars: 1
6000 - Sled Racer - New Set Stars: 2
7500 - Full Blood Ninja - New Set Stars: 3
10,000 - Nightclub DJ - New Set Stars: 4

Are these the only ranks I can get?
When you are banned for a limited time you will receive the rank:
Rule Breaker
That rank will stay forever unless you become a moderator.

If you are permanently banned you will have the rank:
PERMA-BANNED

I see some users with more than 4 stars on the second set, why?

Because these users have proved themselves as trustworthy users and are skilled formers. They keep users like you in line when it comes to bad behavior.

Admin - Supreme rank of the forum. Full power of everything.

Moderator - Moderates all sub forums, to make sure nobody breaks rules.

Trainee Moderator - Moderates 5 or less sub forums, to make sure nobody breaks the rules. They can work up to full moderator.

Other Ranks:
Top Forumer: A top performer, poster, and topic starter. You get access to special things that not even mods get!

You can have one of these special ranks too, if you stick to your great forming and prove yourself well. Asking will ruin your chances.

Thanks for taking interest in the posting ranks. If you have any questions or comments feel free to give below.

How can I tell if I got an infraction?
You should know when you break the rules.
However, your infraction count shows up when you post and on your profile.

How To Make Your Signature Show Up

Fire Stone wrote:

Hello, here is one of my other guide. This time, how to make your signature show up or just basically, how to save it.

First Click "Profile" on the bar at the top.

The page loads and It has all your information like username, email and stuff. So above it there is information in bold. Then there is Preferences then Signature. Click Signature.

There are two boxes. One that shows your current signature and the one under it which you can write in. Put the code in it. Some tips are on there.

Lastly, you want to save it. This is probably the most forgotten step. Click preview to see if thats really what you want. If you dont like it change the code or click "Old Signature".

How to report

Popularity and DP Cash:

Wwe Adam wrote:

Alright. DP Cash and Popularity are going to be a big deal on the forum. If you don't know what these are learn at this link

POPULARITY

This is possibly cooler than DP CASH. This is because you will have a certain level of popularity on the forum, depending on peoples votes on your posts.

Here's the popularity scale:

A positive vote = +2 Popularity
A negative vote = -/+0 Popularity
The topic poster presses the Thanks button on your post = +5 Popularity

In support forums:

+/Positive Vote = +3
-/Negative Vote = +/-2
Thanks button = +10

DP CASH

DP Cash is just to show your effort on the forum, and it can show popularity.

If you go to your profile, you have a friends list, it looks kind of like a social networking site like Myspace haha.. Here's statistics

Every time someone posts a profile message on your profile: +5 Cash
For every friend you have: +3 Cash
Per Day since registered: +1 Cash

Per Post: +1 Cash
Per New Subject/Topic: +5 Cash

I also have the power to donate points to you!

Amounts can change.

Reporting Posts

James wrote:

Reporting posts is a very important aspect of Dock Penguins. It helps us find the bad guys :)
Recently, no one has been reporting the bad posts found around Dock Penguins.
In this thread, you will find out how to report posts.

That's the report button it is found on every post. When the "!!" are black that means you can report the post- and it was not reported yet.

However, when the "!!" are orange, that means the post was already reported and we advise you NOT to report the post again

Sometimes you may get funny error messages like "REPORT POST HACK" if you get that message, it either means you went to a moderator link- that only moderators can view or you reported a post that has already been reported- or has been locked for reporting.

Don't get nervous when you see it, it doesn't mean anything and you won't get banned or receive an infraction.

Starting June 20,2009 FOR EVERY GOOD REPORT YOU SEND IN, YOU WILL RECEIVE 20 DP CASH- PER POST YOU REPORT!
The cash will be rewarded every Friday.

We hope this encourages you to report the bad posts :)
Remember- DP cash can get you lots of special features on the forums. :mod:

If I break a rule, and get banned, and when I click the moderaters group its says that: This group is closed, no more users accepted. Then how can we be un-banned?
