Jeep-Club Newsletter 6 / 2013

Hello Jeepers!

Forum bits and pieces seem to be explained (as per your feedback), so today let me explain the forum ranks. Firstly the whole idea behind the ranks was to make clear who is moderator and admin - people you may ask for help.

Later we thought that it would be funny to give a rank to every member and since then it is being given automatically by forum. Your rank depends on number of your posts on forum. But not always, let me explain then.

First things first - yellow plates are special and only admin can grant you with yellow plate. By special I don't mean that the rest of you is not special :) you all are! :D Basically yellow plates are related to your function on forum.

The only one plate of that type, special, unique, superb, fantastic bombastic is of course :

Admin is only one ;) 

Next:

Moderator are here to keep forum clean and tidy. They remove spam and look after the forum when admin is busy*. You may ask them forum related questions, report spam (that is automated process), etc.

* - has better things to do :D

Next one is also important:

When you ask the question on forum, lets say you want to know about lift for your Jeep and one of responders is person with BUSINESS rank, you may be sure that this person is in Jeep business. It may be parts supplier, importer, mechanic - have word with this person, I bet she/he will help - Business rank is being granted on very careful manner and only trusted people, recommended by others may have that rank. 

Who's next then? 

Those two ranks are equal. When you see this rank that basically means that your question has been answered by person who knows what she/he is talking about. Those ranks have been introduced firstly to say thanks to those knowledgeable men on forum who decided to help us, secondly to give you an idea who they are. I bet many, if not all of them will answer your questions to their best knowledge, so .. use their skills ;)

Now, time for user ranks. 

There are four 'levels' of users on forum. Please, bare in mind that those ranks are not reflecting your Jeepin' skills, your general knowledge or personality! ;)

Clear? 

They were made for fun and the only thing they reflect is a number of your posts on forum. For sake of doing it I'll keep in secret which rank comes when ;) Only I can say that you can remove disgraceful...

...only by saying 'Hello' in New Members Area :)

Then you'll get proud plate :

If you have a lot to say, you may not wait long for..

..rank

But if one day you enter the forum and above your name you'll see this :

then IMMEDIATELY SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR! YOU NEED HELP!

;)

Btw., if you don't like our ranks and have better idea, give me a shout on forum or comment here. If you come with the awesomemenestest idea ever we may consider it ;)

Take care people!

Cheers
