The newest addition to pawn... User Groups!

[sY]

Blank has officially added an awesome idea to the forums, that are going to be a great tool and aid to make the pawn forums more active, and more fun.
Each user group has a separate purpose in the pawn community. Each usergroup will be further described in a different thread.

For now, let me tell you how to join a user group. Firstly, you will need to submit an application form in the applications section that has been added.

To view the available user groups, go to your 'User CP' scroll down and select "Group Memberships.'

Be warned, if you request to join a group and do not submit an application, you will likely not be accepted.

Continue to pay attention to the forums in the coming days as this new idea will continue to be further explained.

1.) Usergroups is located in the bottom left corner of the control panel.
2.) To join a group, click on the radio button and click on 'Join Group'. Look down for a better explanation.
3.) This just lists all the groups you're in.
4.) When you post, under you're name, would you like it to show 'User' or you're group's name (like how it says Pawn Moderator under my name).

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g240/penguins0002/Usergroup2.png
First off, you need to post an application. If you're accepted, follow number 2 above and give a short reason. Doesn't have to be much since you're already accepted.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!

[outlaw]

hmm cool :D

[Tman340]

cool addition

[Puffer]

Sweet! Can we apply for more than one User Group?

[OGCrookedO]

i might apply for something sounds fun

[sY]

Yes but we are currently not accepting any applications, and don't request membership yet either. We're still working out everything, so please be patient and everything should be ready within a few days.

[brohana]

So, can we like create user groups?

[Leonardo]

I knew there was an update. Blank101 makes me excited when he goes on. :D

[sY]

No, there a certain user groups that we decided would be useful, but you won't be able to create your own.

There's like 5 groups though, so there are plenty of open options.

[Chickletman]

Thanks for deleting my post you goob D:

[brohana]

The Graphics one has already been decided, and i got in, should i automatically get in then?

[Leonardo]

Off topic: I LOVE YOU SHARPSHOOTER. :D

On Topic: Its nice, how about an option under our avatar, like User Group: Blabla...

RIght eh? EH? Yeah..

[sY]

Beanmiester and greb will handel that, you'll need to request membership if you were accepted already, but just be patient and let us get everything else set up before you request to join.

And iFreak, it will display the user group that you are in. :)

[Leonardo]

By the way, how do we know we joined in the group? Do we get a PM or something?

EDIT: Nevermind, I WANNA JOIN. Please finish by tomorrow evening. D: I wanna join.

[Champ24best]

COOLBEANS this is going to rock

[brohana]

Ok i get it now, thanks

[Chickletman]

yaya a new place for new players to dump spam :D

[vSkyzv]

This is one of Blank101's desperate 1 minute quicky updates... but I'm still happy :)

[arabftw123]

I'm curious as to what the Pawn Assistant group is?

Thanks.

[sY]

This is one of Blank101's desperate 1 minute quicky updates... but I'm still happy :)

This is my idea that I have worked hard to get added, you jerk.

[SketchZ]

So, can we like create user groups?

We create them D:

If you click every mod's name.. it shows what usergroup they're in.

[WolfHowlz]

Well..I kinda want to see a disctiption of everything first before I apply :D

[BrokenGlass]

We should not be accepting members into the UserGroups yet, until the applications are ready. So sit tight.

[beanmiester]

This is my idea that I have worked hard to get added, you jerk.

Eherm :rolleyes:

Creds really go out for VdominusV for fueling teh idea.

I made a good post that got sharpy's mind rolling and he eventually got blank to add it.

Guys you have to know we've been working things out for the groups for weeks.

Brohana the way Vdom handled the gfx crew he bascially let everyone in.

Were probably going to have about 5 people max.

[WolfHowlz]

I will...I just want to know the job description :/ I r curious

[beanmiester]

We will have more info in teh near future Ms.Wolf :)

[poe101591]

i'm with wolf, srry for sounding a bit pushy(not really trying to be, i know you mods are doing your best) but i too would like to get some description on what group does what, like to know what the Pawn Assistant does :)

hope you guys can get this up soon.

[brohana]

Ok, so if i get in, will my name be a different color or something like that?

Also, BrokenGlass is on the tech team, but does that mean he isnt a mod anymore?
Because it doesnt say mod on there

[Foxphantom]

this just might work

[sY]

Broken is going to get killed by Blank, he just chose to display the Tech Team instead of mod, he still has his powers, he just likes breaking the rules. :-\

[BrokenGlass]

You lie. My Title is Pawn Moderator.


*hides*

[poe101591]

Broken is going to get killed by Blank, he just chose to display the Tech Team instead of mod, he still has his powers, he just likes breaking the rules. :-\

rule breaker :O
but really, when will there be description on the groups?

[sY]

Discriptions will be posted with the application.

[poe101591]

Discriptions will be posted with the application.

yeah, thanks sharpy :)

[Scrubs]

This is my idea that I have worked hard to get added, you jerk.
SharpY don't let him get you down :p

[SK8URDEAD]

yes what my pal sharpy said. discriptions are already being worked on along with more info and what you might require(for some usergroups) in order to join. just be patiante and calm were working on this all and should be good to go with in few hours to a couple of days.

*sharpy i thought us mods could display our other groups? lol. just a thought guess not though :P

[Scrubs]

I will stand-by then. I hope I get in :D

[Hamo]

where the apply forms can't find it

[brohana]

They arent up yet

Just wait

[SK8URDEAD]

so far if you wish to see a description of our Pawn Assistant User Group. it's up for anyone that might wish to join or apply to join i should say :P.

Leader:
Sharpy
SK8URDEAD

[brohana]

Well, i already checked that out, and a user cant make a thread in that forum

so... fix it?

[poe101591]

do you want us to wait and apply for the pawn assistant? Or can we start?

[sY]

You don't have the ability to apply for anything yet, I had Blank lock the forum so that it wouldn't get spammed.

I'm busy getting all the application threads posted up, and I'll have Blank unlock the forum tomorrow hopefully.

[poe101591]

ok, i think every one can wait till then, or atleast for 3 days :O

[brohana]

I already have my two apps ready :)

Im really exicted :D

[Scrubs]

Alright now lemme get this straight..
We have to make a thread and fill out a application.
Then go to "User CP" and request to join.
Is this it?

[sY]

Yes, that is right.

[brohana]

Uh, I accidently already pressed apply in my user CP as soon as i saw it

Would that get me in trouble or something?

[sY]

You aren't going to get in trouble, but you should be denied until you post your application.

[poe101591]

Uh, I accidently already pressed apply in my user CP as soon as i saw it

Would that get me in trouble or something?

you phail :D

i'm sure the mods will see it and wait for your application xD

[WolfHowlz]

aw damn...I can't scrap the Cp thing now

[sY]

So, all the applications but Clan Director are up now...

*Waits on sketchz to make a Clan Director App.*

[brohana]

I didnt know there was a clan director.. Coolio


and why dont you just do it? You seem to be the best at making Apps.

[poe101591]

So, all the applications but Clan Director are up now...

*Waits on sketchz to make a Clan Director App.*

do you have any idea how short sketchz attention span is D: we could be waiting days

[Scrubs]

So we copy and paste the questons then write the answer next to it?
I feel like I'm in school :p

[TheONe2many]

what do you really do though?

[Scrubs]

I don't think I'm gonna apply for Pawn Assistants... I already help out people. I don't need a label to tell me so. :)

[killeratlarge]

u nubs need to be patient , just sit tight everything will be done soon.:p

[IbanezBassist]

I already got accepted into the Tech group :) I love pawn so much!

[sY]

I didnt know there was a clan director.. Coolio


and why dont you just do it? You seem to be the best at making Apps.

The Clan Directors and Tournament Directors were merged into one user group to increase the size a bit.

And I had clan leaders make an application, and then added/edited them as I saw fit.

[Scrubs]

Well ok then..

[brohana]

The Clan Directors and Tournament Directors were merged into one user group to increase the size a bit.

And I had clan leaders make an application, and then added/edited them as I saw fit.

So if all of the applications are up, should you open for apps now?

[AnOddName]

Be patient, bro.

:D

[WolfHowlz]

So if all of the applications are up, should you open for apps now?
When it opens I guess you can apply :D

[beanmiester]

I'm redoing the gfx applications FYI.

[Zero]

sweet addition ill be applying=D

[kingvalor]

That seems kool.

[EggoWaffle]

This is good and helpful for the whole community! good idea :)

[DeltaSheep]

This sounds pretty interesting. But what would you write on an application? "I think map-making are cool, so you should accept me?" How selective are they going to be?

[sY]

Gah, I will not be on again until Sunday after tonight, i have a very busy weekend ahead of me.

[Chickletman]

Can I apply for supreme Overlord?

seriously when can we start O_o

[sY]

Blank has to unlock the group and he hasn't been on all day, it's all in his hands right now.

[beanmiester]

Sharp how do we have members posting in the private forums if blank needs to unlock them?

[sY]

The private forums are not locked, only the applications section is.

[live]

Map making application are open

[WolfHowlz]

So...which groups are actually up

[sY]

All the groups are up, the forum is just locked right now...

[poe101591]

Blank has to unlock the group and he hasn't been on all day, it's all in his hands right now.

o god D:


jk, i'm sure he frogot <.< >.>
or is busy <.< >.>
or getting laid <.< >.>

[Puffer]

By the looks of it, you need some high standards to join groups.

So the Tech Group and GFX will only have like 5 people in it?

[beanmiester]

Bascially because those are the smallest forum communities on pawn.

[Scrubs]

So we copy and paste question then write the asnwer below it or the the side?

[blondie]

Ha, not Blank's awesome idea. Mine. And Beanmiester thought up the other groups, like map making. The rest was mainstreamed.



I'll probably be too lazy to apply.

[TheMuffinSniper]

How do I know what the groups are about?
I understand some of them, but what about Pawn Assistants?

[patriotsrock]

Pawn assistants help out players.

[TheMuffinSniper]

[pawnwings]

Plz can i bre at least on 1 team plzzzzzzzzzzzz

[gatorhaterkilla]

What do you get to do in these user groups?

[DeathLordSpyX]

Remember! Blank101 said not to ask to be on team. If asked. You are 75% to be not accepted. Those are to people that dont read. 2nd I have to ask. I have been banned. Can I still join a team?

[Chickletman]

Others have been banned and there were accepted to teams. I'm sure you can join as long as you're truly dedicated to the team you are applying for, and an active Pawngame user

[Trip1001]

Looks good man come out with it soon.:cool: Trip:cool:

[Hamo]

i tried out for assistant :) they all sound cool but im not much good with map making never usally do it just use forums

[Pope]

Finally i might be able to create CTF and Maze games.
(Starts dancing to thriller)

[Dax]

Wait so you have to wait till after you are accepted to request group membership?

[Desipio]

I may put in a bid for MMT, and PA, when i get at least 300 post.

[jonnychow]

GOOD IDEA BUT I NOTICED THAT IT WAS SAI THAT IF U HAD A POST PER DAY BELOW 1 THEN YOU PROB WONT GET SELECTED FOR A USER GROUP!! IN A WAY THIS IS KINDA UNFAIR!! IVE BEEN PLAYING PAWN FOR AGES LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY MAY NOT HAVE REALLY USED THE FORUM BUT NOW ARE INTERESTED IN IT LIKE MYSELF BUT WELL BECAUSE IVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR A LONG TIME IT WILL TAKE ME AGES TO GET ME POST PER DAY UP TO 1!!!

:eek:

[Lordangers]

It's your problem...
They are looking for people who were intrested in forums in the first place.

Good Luck though.

[Pope]

If you heard that it is a lie.
Just a rumor, don't worry

[jonnychow]

IT CANT BE A RUMOUR COZ IT WAS POSTED BY ONE OF THE MODS THEMSELVES!!

THEY SAID U NEEDED AT LEAST 100 POSTS AND 1 POST PER DAY RATIO!!

:eek:

[Pope]

Interesting What mod was dis? Are you sure cuz we were talking about it earlier son and this didn't come up.

[Lordangers]

IT CANT BE A RUMOUR COZ IT WAS POSTED BY ONE OF THE MODS THEMSELVES!!

THEY SAID U NEEDED AT LEAST 100 POSTS AND 1 POST PER DAY RATIO!!

:eek:

Yep! ;)

You should have atleast 100 posts and a 1 post ratio in order to apply.
I didn't belive it too until I saw that before I applied.
Well, they said I was too new to the community.
I will probably try again when the two week wait is over.

(You may not apply again until two weeks from the time you applied)

Please stop flaming.
It's pretty annoying...

[jonnychow]

Il Try And Find It!! Im Pretty Sure It Was Sharpy!!

[jonnychow]

SORRY TO DOUBLE POST BUT I FOUND IT!!

4. You must be active on the forums if you expect to be accepted into a usergroup. Basically, if you have under 100 posts there's no reason for you to apply, and if your posts per day (which can be found on your user profile) is under 1, you may not be accepted either.

YEA IT WAS SharpY!!!

:eek:

[Pope]

Well if thats so then maybe it should be 100 posts or rank of Sargeant Major

[jonnychow]

I Dnt Fink They Would Take Ur Rank Into Consideration For This!!

[Lordangers]

To tell you the truth, I have seen many tech team members with around 10-50 posts lately. So I am not sure if you have to have atleast 100 posts for the techy...

But make sure to use good english in your application.

Pawn Assistant is the hardest to be accepted for because there are so many of them that they are now very picky.

[jonnychow]

I Applied For Both Tech And Assistant!!

Even Though I Had The Work Experience With Computers I Ditn Get Accepted By Tech!!

I Fink I Was Turned Down From Assistant Because I Double Posted But I Only Did It Coz Id Been W8in For A Reply For A Few Days And Wanted To Bump The Thread!!

I Fink Coz Ive Been Playin Pawn For Such A Long Time I Should Have The Right To Being A Member Of A User Group!!!

[Pope]

Pawn Assistant is all you should need 100 posts for, but you should also be a high rank, so you know what you are doing in a game and such when peeeps need your help

[jonnychow]

WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT DIGGY ID SAY UR RITE THAT PEOPLE WITH HIGHER RANKS SHOULD BE IDEAL AS THEY KNOW HOW THE GAME WORKS ETC!!

GOOD FINKING DIGGY!!! :cool:

[Pope]

GOOD FINKING DIGGY!!! :cool:

ya i generally come up with good ideas, but i just saw a map maker wid 59 posts so that previous problem of post i am pretty sure is obsolete

[dz23]

I hope these 5 groups help us in the future.

[StopAndStare]

Awesome idea, can't wait when it comes out... :p

On a more serious note, why are you renewing an old thread?

[SLAGATHOR]

I'd like to apply for administrator. Any spots available? <_<

[manixxx]

Umm. Why those it say "Welcome,firstmate"
