RPG MANIA BOARD FAQ
Q: How can I become a mod at these forums?
A: You must ask the forum staff. If you are a pretty well respected person with good qualities or have helped the staff with the forums in any way then you are more likely to become a mod.
Q: When do you hire moderators for your forums?
A: Only when we need them or if someone helped with the forums.
Q: What does it mean if you get "warned"?
A: If you get warned then that means you must have broken a forum rule or done something bad. If you get warned, the red % number under your avatar goes up. If it reaches 100% then your username is banned from the forums.
Q: What is the difference between an IP ban and a username ban?
A: A username ban is where we ban your username so you can't log in as that name anymore. An IP ban is where we ban your IP address so you are unable to access the forums at all. The staff will only do an IP ban if they feel that the situation is out of hand or possibly threatening to the forums.
Q: If I am banned, will I eventually be allowed back into the forums again?
A: Depends on your actions, how you were banned, and what kind of ban it was.
Q: What are the maximum avatar and signature sizes?
A: Avatars: 100 x 100 Signatures: 450 x 300
Q: What kind of picture files do you accept?
A: GIF, JPG, PNG, and SWF
Q: Can I have flash and sound in my avatar or sig?
A: Flash is allowed. You may have sound but ONLY if it is triggered by the user and not automatic. If it is then it will be taken off by the admin.
Q: If i lost my password can the mods or admin tell it to me?
A: No. Every member's password is encrypted and not even the admin is able to see it. However, you can get a new password. you can do this by emailing the admin (me) and ask for a new one.
Q: I can't find a topic I was in earlier. Why is this?
A: Sometimes topics are moved to a different category if the topic doesn't really have to do with what the section is about or if it fits better somewhere else. If you still can't find it, then it is possible that the topic could have been deleted because of unnapropriate content or other possible reasons in which we would explain if you asked.
Q: Why can't guests create topics?
A: Then what would being a member mean besides getting your own avatar and sig? We feel that if they want to create a topic badly enough then they should join. Besides, it keeps a lot of spam and flamers out.
Q: In the signature part of my profile it doesn't say anything about inserting a picture. So where/how do I do it?
A: You do it yourself. Just insert the IMG tags and the URL of your picture in the white space. Example [*IMG]URLTOPICTURE[/IMG] (Don't insert the * with it. I just did that so the code wouldn't actually work.)
Q: What is the whole weapons, magic, amor, etc. thing under your avatar and what are they used for?
A: Those are your RPG stats. The more you post and get your post count up, the more money you get. You can buy armor, weapons, magic, and items at the rpg shop with the money you earn by posting.
Q: What about the hp, magic, etc. stats?
A: Just like your money. Each post makes your stats go higher. Except your hp. To get higher hp you must level up by getting your experience to 100%. You do this by posting a lot.
Q: Is there a way to use the merchandise you buy from the rpg shop?
A: Heh, nope not at all. It just goes in your profile to show how much you post. It's just kind of fun to see if you can buy out all the merchandise and raise your stats to their maximum and become a forum master! lol.
Q: Is there anything special about the post counts?
A: Yes actually. If you manage to get 2000 posts and earn the top ranking you will get to access our secret forums where only the people with the top forum ranks can chat. You can also get as much money as you want. Just pm the administrator. But do NOT pm the administrator and ask to change the amount of money you have if you do not have the top forum ranking. Otherwise your pm will be deleted without hesitation.
