Greetings NerfHaven,

You may notice a few changes around the site this evening. For starters, new user registration is back online, effective immediately. This change is a direct result of a structural shift in the NH leadership community.

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome our new Ambassadors, Talio and Shindig. I'm sure you're aware of their qualifications for the job so I'll just tell you about the new position. The Ambassadors will be the front line authority figures here at NH and will be in charge of resolving most user issues. They will also be handling the new user queue and utter annihilation of trolls. Lets all give them a warm welcome to the NH team!

The last change is that Vacc, Spoon, and I have shifted to more of a back-end role for the site. I will be devoting most of my time to implementing Karma and other nifty new features. Stay tuned kids, we've got a lot planned for the Haven.

As always,

Nerf on or fuck off.

Does this mean I'm jobless again? God damnit.

Nope, means you don't have to work two jobs anymore <g>

I want the Contributors to be able to focus on content. It's what the group was created for. You've already submitted some great mods, we just need to decide how to expediate that kind of content actually appearing on the main site.

[Half Newb Half Nerfer]

Well, yeah, I'm happy good job.

Welcome Talio and Shingdig.

Never thought I'd see the day.

Excellent.

Don't retire to the back, cx. I don't want to be the only old guy around.

Wow. This is quite the change, but whatever works best. Good luck with your new jobs, Talio and Shindig. Have fun using your new powers to wreak total havoc and/or end world hunger or stop war or something like that. Looking forward to see what you've got planned CX, as I think I've said before, this next little while's going to be interesting.

[Arcanis]

I'm looking forward for the Karma system to be implemented. I saw it here, and it seems interesting. Good luck.

[cxwq]

I think that site is using a slightly different concept of Karma than I'm implementing.

Hard to tell for sure though since there isn't a lot of traffic there. I'll have to dl the mod and take a look at it since we are probably switching to phpBB here.

[Arcanis]

Yeah, I've noticed they're giving Karma-changing abilities to the masses, not just the administration. It's still a rediculously new board though, I was browsing it from a link at spudtech.

[The Infinite Shindig]

I'm looking forward to working with you guys. If you ever want to talk, feel free. My aim screen name is xcrunner44. I'm usually up for talking so long as I don't have class or pressing amounts of work.

WarCraft 3 Campaigns has a Karma system kind of like that, but it's slightly different. This is how it works:

Giving

Regular Users:
You get 5 points per day, and each Karma you give uses 1 of your points, and each counts for 1 point of positive/negative on the inflicted user. If you get X amount of positive Karma, you get an increased amount of points per day. If you get Y amount of positive Karma, your Karma points count for 2 points of positive/negative on the inflicted user. In this case, X is less than Y.

Mods:
You get like 15 points per day, and each Karma you give uses 1 of your points, and counts for 3 points of positive/negative on the inflicted user.

Admins:
You get unlimited points per day. Each counts for 5 positive/negative on the inflicted user.

Receiving

Regular Users:
If you have less than 10 positive Karma, you cannot give Karma points to other users.

Misc.

Administrator has complete power over Karma. He can set people's Karma to different levels, and he can disable specific people from using and receiving Karma.

There's probably other stuff I forgot.

A closed topic? What the fuck? Don't turn this into NHQ.

A closed topic? What the fuck? Don't turn this into NHQ.

A closed retarded topic? I'm not too worried about this site turning into NHQ. Thanks for your concern though.

[Chrysophylax]

It was a genuine discussion, weenie. The point of the topic wasn't which bodily fluids I would prefer in my food, that was just a side joke I thought some might find funny. I was really curious if anyone knew of fast food poisining.

[The Infinite Shindig]

A closed topic? What the fuck? Don't turn this into NHQ.

I'd prefer if you allow time to pass before you make judgements on my moderating decisions. I do realize this is not NHQ. If you have any further comments regarding the topic in question, PM or send me an instant message. We can debate all you want. Keep this crap off the boards.

[Pineapple]

If you want to talk about pubes and semen in your food, go to NHQ. You'd be less likely to get your topic closed there. More politically correct o'er there.

Other than that, nice knowin' ya Chrysophylax. Be a stranger.

-Piney-

[Talio]

I don't know if politically correct is the right word. I'd revise that to say, don't be such a fucking fag about it. Christ, no one wants to talk about shit they get in their fast food, and no one wants to hear your preference of bodily fluids, however in your case I wasn't surprised.

Either way, stop fucking up our welcoming topic or I might have to give the mute button a testing. Remember, all my grudges from NHQ are coming over here.

So Chrylo, Faine and anyone else that I thought was a complete hindrence to this community, this doesn't mean the slate is clean, and don't think because we're new to the site mean's somehow we're going to be weak. Keep pushing our buttons, and we might decide to push some buttons of our own.

Talio.

[Bad Karma]

Welcome the two of you! I know you'll do a great job.

~Da BK~

[Groove]

Welcome! The best of luck to both of you here.

...And look! A simultaneous welcome / testing of your mettle, all rolled up into one clusterfuck of a topic. Regardless, welcome. I already know you're both gonna' do great.

[VACC]

First of all, I've closed more than a few topics here, and I've even deleted a few. Second, if you act like a faggot you're going to be treated like one, and third....everything's already been said

That's such a good song.

I've been sitting in front of my laptop for ten minutes trying to figure out how that is relevant to this conversation. A simple comment regarding the actual thread topic may have been appropriate, but I don't see how this contributes at all. In the future, discontinue this practice, if for nothing else your continued presence on this forum.

Don't hyjack threads; especially threads that were pretty much done with before you even posted.

[AirApache]

I think he was referring to the title of the topic. But nevertheless, listen to ^^ that, 'cause he ain't lyin'.

[Precision]

I wasn't trying to hyjack the thread. I was just trying to make an pretty much unnoticed comment on the title. Don't get so mad, okay?

[VACC]

You do understand that you are officially his bitch right? Just making sure...
