Hey guys,

You may have noticed your rank has changed to 'Rookie'. This is because lots of kids are coming on the forum and making stupid useless posts in order to get their 500 credits bonus. The new Rookie rank will prevent users from getting credits.

If you are a rookie then, that means you cannot earn credits from the forum. But what about when you make enough posts to get credits? It will come up and say 'Ask an admin to make you a member'. So if you earn the credits, you need to become a member to get them onto your penguin.

So when you earn the credits, ask an admin to check your account for spam, and if you have made good posts, you can become a member and then you will get credits automatically from then on.

That probably made no sense so:

Rookie: Cannot get credits from forum
Member: Can get credits from forum.


Rookie is lower than Member:

- Banned
- Rookie
- Member
- News Reporter
- Master
- Moderator
- Administrator

When you earn credits, ask an admin if you can become a member so you can get them.

Good luck!

Thanks Damen for this, and i had a post about all the pink clothing items, which took 30 minutes to make, and i posted it, and it said i was disconnected for not going to a different page, or i guess it had logged me out. PLZ FIX!

Your login timed out. That means you were logged in for 2 hours. I have removed the timeout!

Hi Damen! I know exactly what you are talking about, the people that only post 50-100 posts a day, just to get tons of credits. I noticed this, and I also noticed trusted, another new rank I haven't heard of, or haven't seen it yet. But, I am not one of these people. I have been watching the action go on, member by member being banned. Have you also noticed the number of posts have doubled in a week? That is because people are greedy, and don't appreciate what they have. But, I think that this is a good idea. It help with the number of helpful posts go up, and the number of spamming and non-conversational two word posts go down too.

Nice, I knew this was a rank as soon as it had been changed. What I didn't know is that it prevents users from getting credits. Helpful though.

Hey there, no Trusted was replaced with the Rookie system. Yes people can be very greedy and mean to admins and others by spamming. I banned all the spammers and removed ALL their extras and credits so they all get punished.

Remember you can earn the Member rank by posting good posts. Random stuff will be despised and you might even risk being suspended for spam.

I did not mean it was replaced, I meant one of my friends got "trusted" as a rank, and then got down to rookie. Sorry for the confusion :(

Yes if you are old enough (and learned your vocabulary or at least looked it up) you would have known rookie (one of our mascot's): he first came in, and he was the ROOKIE, or the new guy that is not that professional, and is new to this type of work. So rookie means new at something, not very good at something, or just in the middle, as in you aren't AWESOME, or HORRIBLE, just a rookie, in between. Most of the time it means non-professional too.

HOPE YOU PLANTED THAT IN YOUR BRAIN FOR LATER! :D
