Question about Forum Profiles Subject description: What are those icons? |
|
|
| I've noticed that most people have a number of baseballs underneath their forum name. Some people have a special badge that says trade agent. How do you get these? Is this just a function of how long you have been a member or of how many posts you have made? |

Trade agents are people that have been selected to help out with trades through the trade forums (Wallstreet and Yard Sale)
Trade agents are added very seldomly, and when they are added they're usually people that have,
1. Been around a long enough time to show their maturity,
2. Trusted throughtout the community at large
3. Have shown a desire to help out in that area.
As for the balls under people's name. They're preset "classes" that go along with post count, however, its not advised to post just to up your class. People that have done so have been known to have their count reset if they're just spamming to increase their count. _________________ http://sbdevils.com/forum/ and http://smallball.info The only forums you'll ever need. |

| Thanks for the help. Your response was timely, concisely well written, and explained all. Now I understand about the ball count. You have clearly earned yours! |

These are perfect examples of posts that do nothing but increase post count.
You will gain respect by quality, not quantity of posts. |

Just out of curiosity: is there also a list of people with the most posts?
And if not, who is most probably the one with the most posts?
25000 seems pretty impossible.... _________________ Rik

Sort by post count, and do it in descending order.. it'll give you the list top-to-bottom by post count.
Beanman (Beaner) is way out ahead of everyone else with 13153 posts. _________________ http://sbdevils.com/forum/ and http://smallball.info The only forums you'll ever need. |

I've tried and tried to get that last ball. It seems impossible. I spam over and over and still cannot get the last one. I don't know if it's broken or I just need to post more. I guess I will just post some more and see if it works.
By the way, this is a complete joke. You cannot get the 5th ball unless you are a trade agent or moderator. _________________ Quote of the Week:

I have two words for you.
Quadruple. Post.
It's like getting 4 posts in one! And it's really easy!  _________________

Poor poor trade agents...
That's a pretty harsh price to pay to become an agent. _________________ 132472, 551096, 551226 7* DT
