Common questions from newbies to our forums
What is "Forum Priority"?
Forum priority determines where in the list a certian groups forum will show.
Bonespitter is a whiney bitch
For example, say group A has a priority of 500, but group B has one of 501, group B’s forum will show closer to the front of the group forums, giving it higher exposure to users.
How do you increase forum priority?
When members enjoy a group, or see potental in it, they usually donate points to a group. The points that are donated go directly into forum priority.
What do I get out of donating?
This depends heavily on the group founder and the moderators. Sometimes you may get nothing. On "The Contest" and other groups ran by REResources, you get a spot in the group with your name and how much you contributed. Sometimes, depending on amount and other factors, we may ask you to join our group of moderators. For more on moderating, see here.
What is the point of moderators?
Moderators have the capibility to delete posts and ban users. They also help run the group and appropreiate the egg points into the corresponding forums. They are here to help keep visiting our forums a plesant experience and you should not feel threatened by them.
