Title: How do I post on other areas of forum?
Post by: mididoctors on 01 February, 2013, 09:28:43 PM
Hello. I'm editing this very old post to provide some useful info. If you cannot post elsewhere on the forum, reply to this thread. I'll get it sorted whenever I see your message. We had to limit posting everywhere, because some folks were being a total grexnix. And as Tharg the Mighty says: never be a grexnix.

Do I need a certain post count or somefink before I can post on all parts of the forum?

TIA

this should get the attention of the mods to get you cleared - unless you're a particularly sneaky spambot!

I'm in the same boat as a newb here.  I'm even having a rough time loading up an avatar.  I think post-count helps to kick in the goodies.

I joined today and I can't work out how to (or even if I can) post in other parts of the forum. I managed to post in the 'Welcome to the board' section, but I can't seen to post anywhere else.

Hi,
I'm a newbie as well and would love to be able to post on other areas of the forum, please.
Also it would be nice to be able to add a picture / quotes etc to personalise my account...
Any chance, oh Great One !!??
Cheers,
Bob

I found strange this too. I wanted to post something in the general area, and i didn't found the "reply" button. At first i thought the thread was closed, but nope. And i found strange from the veru beginning not being able to have a profile at all, put avatars, etc. I supose it's a matter of time and posts. :D

It's not a perfect system, but it works!
All you really got to do is prove you're a real human and not a troll.
So, anyway, you're all in!

Hello, I am real person (grown man). please activate me!

The 2012 movie was my introduction to the world of 2000AD -- the movie is brilliant.  I never bothered w/the 95 version, everyone said it was a stinker.

The movie should have done spectacular in the US--so whoever did the american promotion needs to be drawn and quartered.   
 
There should have been 7/11 tie ins. Billboards.  The FIRE IN THE VISOR of DREDD. THAT was AWESOME imagery: the  burning anger of Dredd judgement--we can't see his eyes, but we can see what his eyes might have looked like w/that one image.   

And the trailer! Good god is that a bad trailer. The trailer should have opened "WE DID IT RIGHT THIS TIME".  Cut to Dredd "mama judgement time" speech.  Cut to fire in visor and deep brass music.   END OF TRAILER.

I suppose this is all known at this point.  It's not that americans don't get DREDD.  NOBODY KNEW IT EXISTED, and those who did, thought it would suck because the first one did.  It was a real movie.  I made my wife watch it  on blu ray -- SHE enjoyed it.  And she saw the first one in THEATERS. Even w/out the DREDD history, the movie iself is GREAT.

*chants*

A real person and grown man... Mmm... Dunno, you sound over qualified to me!

I'm away from a computer until the beginning if next week, I'm afraid - if nobody has taken pity on you by then, and if I remember, I shall do it.

First off Hi! have been reading 2000ad off and on for over 30 years and just started a proper sub last year, its like christmas every week when that shiny, crisp new 2000ad comes through my letter box lol.

I can post on the other forums (I Think) but I cant access my profile so any help with that would be great, did a bit of wheeling and dealing on the classifieds a couple of weeks ago to help out buying a new sub for this year and the deal went through no probs! anyway great site keep it up.

Cheers,

Chris.

Well done on the sub - my pal used to buy Deadline regularly because the covers made great roach material, but I doubt 2000ad's shiny paper would do the job. You just have to wait until one of the mods is satisfied you're not a trouble maker and upgrades you before you have the run of the forum. Just post on one of the off-topic threads about whatever you watched on telly last night, saw at the pictures or are listening to on your i-pod until they see where you're coming from.

Just as a favour, I'll reply to any post you make, calling you mentally feeble for liking such shite/hating such brilliance. You can post a magnanimous reply saying that everyone's entitled to an opinion and that you don't want to get into a fight about it, and thereby prove you're not a touchy opinion-fascist or mentally unhinged. If Richmond's busy at Cardiff all weekend you might have to wait for a while before you're upgraded.

Hiyas.

I wanted to post in the latest prog thread, but didn't apparently have permission.  I also got a permission error when I tried to PM a member in one of the art threads. Do I need additional permissions to do those things?

Thank you!

You need to be here and post a bit before one of the Mod-droids decides you are real and not a spam-bot.
Then you'll be able to post anywhere and upload an avatar and so on.

I would also love a bit of this hot upgrading action if at all possible. Understandable of course if I have to bump my post count up a bit first.

I assure you I'm quite real though, I think! Just looking forward to properly contributing to the forum.

Aha! Glad I found this post. Wanted to say how much I way enjoying The Off-Lode Experience in this month's bundled floppy, but couldn't.

How can I tell I'm not a bot? It feels like I'm human, but how can you really tell?

Could you make an exception for this possible bot and activate me please?

Thanks in advance!

Why can't I post in any section except this one? What's the use of joining a forum if all one is allowed to say is "hi"?

A moderator will need to verify your account to give you access to all threads.
