Title: Stupid question of the day.
Post by: FilamentTheBright on July 04, 2007, 01:52 AM
On the left hand side I see my name, my status and then some stars. No I didn't hit my head.

What do the stars indicate?

Thanks.

Poor Light Bright, left in the "dark" over a couple of stars! Tsk, tsk  Okay.. I shall withhold my picking on you to "enlighten"!  :rofl1:

Yes, you have your title, followed (in your case, as not all have one yet) a tag from the Tag Fairy, then you have "Tea Cup Seat" finally followed by the stars you mentioned.

The label "Tea Cup Seat" and the stars are both simply a "Level" relative to the number of posts you have made on the forum.  They both will change together as you post more.  In your case, you have posted 18 times, when you have reached 23 posts, your Level will change to "Pirate Throne" and the two brown stars will change to two orange stars, until you happen to reach the next level of posts.

Decoy started the levels with the NPC pins and one star, which you have already gotten through, and now you are in the furniture levels and currently 2 stars.

(The exception, as there always is one ;) - Moderators alway have 5 stars, Charmed has 6 stars for being the "vice administrator", and Decoy as Administrator has 7 stars.)  


Edited to add that you got me looking at my level, and I see that  :yes!: with just a few more posts, I get to leave Bat Magic and got to INFERNO magic!!   :lol: Okay so the little things excite me! :lol:

  :rofl2: 

Hmm.. now wait a minute there Daz!  Being the only one to have purple stars, at least so far.. I would like to point out that the Tag Fairy has "pixie dusted" more than just me with a tag!  :cool2:  Or is this just a subtle hint to the Tag Fairy, that you have not been "pixie dusted" yet?   ;)

Oh, yeah.  You're just a laugh riot.   :tongue3:

Thanks for the information.  I thought it had to something with the number of posts, but I wasn't positive.

So the orange tag under my name is from the Tag fairy?

What is it that I don't know? (except the answer to this question)  :tongue2:
Title: Re: Stupid question of the day.
Post by: Purpleduck on July 06, 2007, 07:59 AM
Yes, you have been visited by the Tag Fairy! Congrats!!

As to why it says what it does.. I have seen some tags including my own, that were taken from a post I had done.. not sure, but maybe the same for you?? 



(Decoy, where is an emote to represent questioning/idk/confused?  It would be nice to have one, would have used it here!)

Not decoy.......but I thought that we already had one in this.???

Not as clear as some others I have seen, Papa.  You kinda have to hover on that one to get "told" what it is.. and based on what I said in that post.. a "huh" emote doesn't fit the situation.

There are some very clear ones out there, such as the little guy that shrugs his shoulders.  Another has the little guy with "question marks" over his head. 

Besides.. so many have multiple choices for the same emotion, it is clear variety is the spice of this forum's emotes!  :dance2: :dance: :dance3:

I know there is one out there were there is two smiles and one farts and then the other one turns green and falls over.

Plus, I always liked the eek one where the smile gives another smile a wedgie by pulling his underwear up after making him look the other way.

I dont like the "other" board because there is no way to express something if you are in the minority, this board has a great interface but I dont like the karma system on this board -_- At least, I know that some people have a problem with me but if only I could know who are those people. I posted only one message of introduction and my karma is at -2. If I am not welcomed here, the best thing to do is to write me a PM >_< Oh, yes that was maybe a stupid question so it sticks into this :-\  I dont ask for karma point but just to know what I did wrong because it is a bit two-faced (or as we would say here faux-cul).

Dont worry about the Karma so much sir.  I really like Decoy but i smite him all the time just because it reminds me of ducks ina shooting gallery. As long as you respect others feelings and dont ride teh Drama Llama too much EVERYONE is welcome here.


BTW I dont know how you are so I am not accussing you of either of those things, just making a general example.

Don't worry about the karma, it wanders around aimlessly and sooner or later will run over someones dogma.

Hiya Key!  :welcomef: I am glad you found us! You said it perfectly that the"other" board doesn't let us express ourselves. That is what i have been feeling lately too. So please keep coming back and expressing yourself. We love to hear opinions :chat:. And as others have said, don't worry about the Karma. And btw i see that your Karma count is just fine now. Maybe it was a glitch or someone with a brain fart. :hitwall: Anyway, welcome to you my friend and enjoy your time here on the noBS board.
