Just curious, what's the feature you and Hezzy can do that mods can't? (Besides creating subforums or changing icons/ratings)

Does this mean you have FTP access as well? Or is Garry still the only one with that? Cause I remember the whole wait for trying to get new subforum icons + new emoticons since it all had to go through Garry.

i dont have access to that, nope. I imagine hezzy doesn't either since I can't think of any reason we'd need to. I mean it looks like I can upload icons for the subforums but I'm not sure. They're clearly using icons atm, but the icon upload field is blank on my end, and I'm not about to test and find out lol.
Postal's ass rating when

On the topic of forum gamification, I originally came from 2 forums which were gamified to an extent.
Nintendo's Nsider forums used to give users ranks based on their post count, which would change the color of names, user titles, and I think it even allowed for larger avatars and signatures after you hit a certain rank.
There was another forum I went on where on your profile you could receive badges by getting involved with the community; stuff like participating in forum events, such as fundraisers, Secret Santa, competitions for creating fan-games, music and art, as well as just being a helpful member in general.
If gamification of the forums is something that must be tried out, I think something like the latter would be pretty nice; having some sort of badge display that you can only see when people visit your profile, where the badges could link to the events that you helped organize and the competitions (game-jams, art/music/video competitions etc.) that you won. Maybe even have a page where you can see a list of what events are currently active and what sections they are in.
I know there was an effort at a game jam recently on Facepunch and I barely remember what section it was in; giving out badges will help keep people aware of things like that going on if they wouldn't be otherwise, but it will also attract a small crowd of the low-effort low-quality kinds of entries from people who think badges are the coolest thing.
[QUOTE=garry;52841124]You don't like the idea of gamifying the forum because it's not a games forum?[/QUOTE]
Now you're venturing into the territory that's normally reserved for RNG lootboxes.
Facepunch will be Facefucked if badges started appearing. We already have custom titles and colored names, but badges to show off your BEST DAY on the forum would start to distract from the usual and have good people begging for more.
Honestly i like Facepunch especially for its stripped out and clean functionality.
Can't say much about gamification but having big flashy titles (ironic :v:), badges and whatnot would be more of a distraction then actually do what you are supposed to do on a forum, talk about things.
If anything you can use it as a fun way to slowly introduce people to the forum like the old Power Unlimited forum where you start at level 1 and slowly rise through the levels till you reach 20 in which you would have the ability to delete your own threads and posts as well as a animated avatar to show that you are now a well settled user.

bans and dumbs should negate coins after a certain point[/QUOTE]
After a certain point your title will be auctioned to the highest bidder.
Can we keep gamification to a minimum if possible?
No, I believe titles should be earned without the crushing evils of capitalism. Here's to the death of paid custom titles and the resurgence of a wide choice of Epic Gamer™ signatures via achievements!

spend postalcoins at postalpunch for postalprizes[/QUOTE]
I had to formally send a formal letter to the postaloffice™ by going to my near postal office to complain on why my postalcoins where not on postalpunch and why I couldn't get postalprizes. The postal office told me to wait a few days to receive back a response in a form of a postal letter from the postaloffices™ on why my postalcoins where not on my postalpunch account and why I could not reclaim my postalprizes in the therefore postal™ site. I knew better that just sending a nonpostal email would be easier but I had to make my emotions come through on this. I got a response back in postal form as I went back to the postal office to get back my formal postal response from the previously mentioned postaloffice™. As I started to skim around the letter sent by the postaloffice I saw this ceirtan line. "We appriciate your concern on your Postal™ related issues but it is no reason to send a formal postal letter to our postaloffice's™ on the city of Postal, MI [sp] It's not a real place I just wanted more reasons to include the word postal [/sp] this complaint is rather helpful for our Postal™ services and after reviewing your problem you are now able to recieve your Postal™ related prizes.
Signed, Postal™ Post Man."
That was the story on how I got access to my postalprizes™. The reason I made this post on Postal™ I don't know absolute boredom.
