SSA member account updates

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

SSA member account news for all members and staff.

Due to the major up grade in software to 3.0, followed by the move to a dedicated server, then by the the security update, I was able to do some member account adjustments. I fixed the reputation feature ( +, - ) usability, please do not abuse this feature, or we will turn it off.

A few member and/or moderator groups have more:

• PM space storage
  
• image upload space
  
• signature banner size
  
• reputation allowed to give
  

I had to decrease some of the member groups signature length as we want to keep the board tidy and running smooth, and not look trashy like some of these other car audio sites with numerous distractive banners or loads of links in members signatures that make the board load very slowly and stretch very long.

For non-staff member groups, a few limits will increase with posting and membership time. Meaning with the current non-staff member groups:

• 0-25 posts = New Member with very low limits
  
• 26-1000 posts = Member with normal account limits
  
• 1001+ posts = SSA Regular member with near moderator account limits
  

Again, just another part of SSA we are always working to improve and adapt for the member base as we want to continue to have the best running, best moderated, best built, best informed, best looking, and best feature filled forum in the car audio world, period.

SSA Regulars have "near moderator account limits"? Like what?

I didn't know I have power...I could have been abusing it long ago

Meaning, your PM storage space, upload space, person picture size, signature limits, and so on are very close to what the section moderators have.

How do you up or gain reputation?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

How do you up or gain reputation?

When another member feels a post is either a positive or negative addition to the discussion at hand.

When you reach a certain post count it will change, and you will have the ability to change it.
