My LEGO Nexus Organization

Ok, I've been owing you this for a while now...

New feature revelations!

Ok, the first feature you get is the blogs, like we've already shown.

The second is a username colour that you pick. Please refrain from choosing black though, because it won't show up in all skins :P

The third is User Titles you can edit. Like, see the The Chosen One I've got? You can change one of your own.

Fourth, Usergroup colours. This would be different from the team colours you get already, but will have to be worked on.

Fifth, we've got something people are pretty curious about. Username images. It's like what I have beside my name, but there will have to be a maximum size because of where they go. But, certain images are for certain people. We might get a list some day.

I can't reveal when you get them of course, but, those are what you can earn, along with potentially more ;)

Go Omega! YES! ;D

Now that this is done, we can all stop bothering you about it. And now we can bother you about feature questions. :P

EDIT: By the way, this should be stickied.

So how do you increase your MLNO rep?

Not by asking for it. And by helping out, and doing other things that the admins believe to merit a rep-up. But, not just for the rep, then we'd be more likely NOT to rep you up ;)

Ok, it was just a simple question.

I know, I was just explaining the basic rules.

Well it sounded more like you are aiming the "no begging" part at me.

So can you just pick what color you want your username, or do you have to do something to change it?

Well actually tp, you could probably create a blog right now. I wanna know if you can or can't.

Hm, I don't think I'll create a blog, I already have one somewhere else.

Where is it? I wanna see it.

Anyway... if we achieve one of these rewards, will we get a PM saying we did so?

Or are you guys going to torture us and make us figure it out ourselves? :P

I think they will go with choice #2, the "torture ourselves" one.

Actually, we will do neither, and if you want it that badly, you will find out whether or not you have it.


"Go Omega"? Hey, R8 and I put in just as much effort as Blade did. Except Blade did a lot of it on his own... <<

That is why Omega deserves it a little bit more than you. But, meh, here ya go; Go R8! & Go Ab_Z!

A lot of the ideas tossed around in the beginning were mine and R8's, some were Blades. And when I say he did most of it, I mean he went of on his own and did it.

Well what do you expect? Omega is a computer geek after all and you should be proud he is here and on our side.

XD Thanks for the praise, and Ab-Z's right.

Also, anyone who has rep right now will more than likely have it reset...

There's a link on my profile, too.

Wow...

What?

so, i earn these powers of account editing in exchange for gaining reputation points.
Said reputation points are only awarded by administrators.
My question is this simple, how do i edit said options, is it in my profile or is it PM'ing an admin?

Some will be admin, some will be profile. Blogs are posting like this.

Don't we need a rep of 5 in order to create a blog.

We don't know yet. Once ~10 people get it, they'll tell us. ;)

So can 10 people that have a rep of 5 or higher test it to see they can.

And they would... If 10 people had rep of 5+. :P

Practially everyone has 0 rep. :P

Question: Will the Admins automatically get this stuff 'cuz they're admins (like on BZP), or will they have to earn it like everyone else?

Automatic. ... Which is why I have most of the stuff being tested out with my account XD

The heck 0o

That is unfair!

No; do you know how much we work for this site? And besides, give one reason why the admins, the ones that have EVERYTHING else, not have these features.

You [the admins] are average people like us, just with a little power in your hand. And with that power you can suppress us to stay in line. Well think again.

Hah, that's what you think, who do you think makes all the skins? What about the features for the rep? And keeping the filter up to date? And making new boards for you to post in? There are a lot of things Admins do, it's not just making sure you follow the rules.

I know you guys do all that, but it shouldn't give every admin the right to get the stuff automatically. I say only the creator of the stuff should get it automatically.

Ah, but you must know that it was AB-Z and R8 who thought of this stuff. Blade-kun just breathed life into them.

So, technically, there are 3 creators: AB-Z, R8, and Blade-kun.

With the exception of nwj, who isn't really active anymore, the admins all had a part in creating this, proving your point moot.

And yes, I've always wanted to use the word "moot" in a sentence. :P

So then nwj shouldn't get the stuff automatically. He didn't do anything at all.

While that may be true, it really doesn't matter much 'cuz he's not on often anymore anyway. :P

All of the admins are getting it, that's that. There's only four, so why are you complaining again...? Especially since some were thought up by me. But most WERE R8/Ab-Z... And why should admins, the HIGHEST level of membership, not get something that lower levels could get? Look at BZP, Black Six has a blog automatically. When you look after the site, you earn stuff. Any fo the other admins want to explain this better?

Makes sense.

I didn't say that np admin should get this. I said they should earn it like the rest of us.

Hypr, the admins have earned it. Way back in the beginning, up till now, they were working hard to recruit members and create a wonderful community. Even nwj deserves it, he was once an active member, helping out the forum in any way he could.

And that's how anyone earns rep. Helping out the forum on their own will, just like the admins have (and are still doing...).

Hey DB, that was in the past. Everyone's rep  should be set back to 0 (except maybe a few), admin or not. They are just average people like you [DB] and me. They hold a little more power in their hand, that is the only difference between us and them.

No, they aren't, and she knows it too. She is an admin on her own forum site, and she knows what Admins have. Here's a short list.

They can
Ban
Approve Members
Change names
Change membergroups of people
Change the stuff on their profile(Rarely used, only if something's bad)
Change the permissions of different groups
Design different styles
Set different words into the filter
Add new images to the image set that has the emotes and such
Add different new stories to the news ticker
Set up different webpages
Add new tabs
Add new boards

Plus, they

Moderate the forums like the Mods do
They can edit posts
They can delete posts
They can post in locked topics
They can sticky and unsticky topics
They can lock topics

And more. Still think they're just normal members?

And if you doubt the work us admins do, you won't after the Great Forum CatacysmUpgrade!

I said the admins are average people, not members. Learn to read my post better.

Average people like you and DB you said, which would mean members. And I still haven't seen you respond to my post.

When I said "average people" I meant by being human you moronic coffee pot.

He meant an average human, not their rank in power. I'm still not sure whether the staff should earn reputation by doing good for this forum or just getting it right there.

And what is your point Hypr? The admins are humans who have decided to take on a great responsibility by leading a whole site, satisfying people they barely know, and preventing trouble. And on any site, every member is a human (except ad bots, but no one on MLNO is one of those >_>).

Okay, enough said in this stupid fight. The admins are average people, just like you and me, sure, I'll give you that. But they lead the forum, clean up after old topics, keep the forum neat and working, plus everything that Omega has already said. Plus their word is final, so if your not happy with that, then make your own forum where you can be an admin...

What the admins have said is said, so what's done is done, just leave it at that.

-ZLS

"Moronic Coffee Pot"? That's a new one XD

Disky and ZLS are right. And there'll never be ad bots, once we find out there are any, we'd ban them on sight because the IPs would probably be similar ;) Of course, we have had bots before >> And everything Disky said is correct. PLUS, I have real life stuff(Why I haven't been on in the day), and I keep active with BZP and other sites. Plus I still post a lot. And design skins for you guys to criticize to heck and back XD(J/K :P) But, while we admins ARE in fact humans with lives... We still give the time to contribute to the site and patrol it to make sure no bad stuff is put up. And I admit I'm an average human(Or, at least I haven't seen otherwise >>), so you've got that point, but the work I do... I think we deserve the rewards. But please don't leave Hypr. ... Even if you weren't even considering leaving >>

BUT, seeing as this is a fight that shouldn't have happened, let's just... Get BOT and not argue about this anymore ;)

I wasn't even going to leave. The only way I would leave this site is if (a) I was banned. (b) I lost interest (as if) or (c) I had to go to college (which is in a few more years).

Ah, that's good ;)

So, when are you going to start to rep people up?

Hmm... Once I actually finish changing everyone's rep XD

But not everyone is set at 0. Why?

Because I haven't gotten around to going and resetting everyone's yet?

Oh, gotcha. I am just curious.

Sweet!  What did I do to get a rep of 1?

Well, what happened lately to have you be one? ;)

*thinks* (http://zets.21.forumer.com/images/smiles/pinch.gif) Dunno, can't remember doing anything special, lately...

Right, trying to think of it...

I think he figured it out ;)

What did he win?

You'll find out soon enough.

How soon?

Soon enough. I can't say anything more.

Why can't you say anything more? I know, I'm a pest.

Because it's a secret.

Stop being one then >> You'll find out soon enough...

So tell me the secret and I'll stop being a pestfornow

.... No, what don't you get about that two letter word, the N, or the O? A secret is not meant to be revealed before the secret's revelation time.

Look, Tim is getting something for being **. You can wait for Omega like I have to as well. :P

EDIT: Not so fast Easy :P --Omega Blademan

How much longer do we have to wait? Nice avvie Omega.

1. Let's say I'll reveal it on Friday.

2. Thanks.

Why Friday? Why not now?

NOT NOW. It's because what it's for will be updated that day.

Can't you update that now!? Could you please update the emotes sometime soon?

1. No >> Deadline I'm following, on when the half of the month is, it'll be up... Can't you wait TWO DAYS?

2. I kinda like them, but I agree that there could be a few more good ones. Like... *Facepalm*

Omega edited my post. ::) What's the big secret of being something of the something?

*starts singng "Can't toutch this post... Da, da-da-da... Da-da, da-da..."* :D

:P I just want to have it be a surprise when you see it on Friday. :P

Oh, for all the people who forgot.

I love knowing secrets. 0:) >:D

I really hate waiting.

You wait a lot in life, you'll learn.

I do wait in life, but not on forums.

Well, now ya do. :P

I'm actually forced to wait.

Yeah, because not everyone revolves around you >> Why should we alter our plans for you, if you won't for us...? ;) Works both ways.

Haha. Just wait... the new update will be great fun. And a lot of work for us... oi.

What plans do I have that people are getting impatient with? I know noone revolves around me.

So, you wait. Simple as that.

You are so cruel to me. What did I ever do to you.

*Sigh* I just can't reveal it now. This debate will last a while, yet everything will be revealed tomorrow. Can't you just wait?

TODAY IS FRIDAY! TELL ME WHAT TIMPOSTER WON ALREADY!

Just hang on, I'm busy on something.

Now what is holding you up? you told me to wait til Friday. Here it is Friday and I still haven't been informed.

You still are? Oh, I wasn't aware that the Polls being up made that unclear ;)

what polls are up?

*facepalm*  GUESS!!!!   ::)

The presidential election polls? :P

Yay, Easy got the correct answer.  :P

XD Nice one Ese.

I just knew it was something... ;D So, is the award system going to be a bit like MHOZ's badges? If so, then I can make a few of them.

Somewhat, More like... Maybe the brick or something, but it will be in a box under your UN.

*cough*stillhasn'tgottenpromisedaward*cough*  ::)

The award's being designed, or was last I checked... The awards thing hasn't even been made yet :P Hopefully by this month.

So far it's been 20 days since this was started. Let me guess, waiting for someone on SMF to make it? :P

Why are you counting Easy?

I'm not counting, I just subtracted today from when this topic started. :P

No real reason. So, is someone on SMF making this for us or who?

I don't really know at alllike usual.

Making what? The rep? That's already in there, along with the rewards. The awards? They're coming, but I need to make the custom profile field and then make the awards.

Oh. I though some extra script had to be made by SMF. Well, good luck. :)

Have fun don't you mean.

Ok, bolth. :P

Yea. you are gonna be nuts to do it, but I believe in you Omega.

No, I think he enjoys doing this stuff. Why else would he have made a bunch of skins, alongside all the other special stuff we've got?

Then again, you're right. He could be insane. :P

You're wrong db. Being insane is a totally different ball park. If you're nuts (like Omega) then you are addicted to something that is very interesting for you. Insanity is when go uncontrollably insane due to having an incurable mental disease. That is why I can go insane, nuts, or sane at any given time. I am ADHD which is an incurable mental disease. I can't go into war on the front lines ;D. YAY!
