Lol, my phone nearly exploded when I tried to scroll that.
i7 2700K @ 4.7Ghz / Asus Gene V / 8GB Corsair Vengeance LP / Asus GTX580 DirectCUII / Samsung 830 256GB /
2x2TB Samsung F4EG / Corsair AX850W / Antec P182 / Silver Arrow Cooler / Dell U2412M
I think there's a Magic Eye in there somwehere...
Now that's more like it
Directhex is right, it used to be lower. I thought it went up earlier than that, around the 2003 time, when we did the system rebuild, IIRC. But we did also have some teething problems with some things getting past the way the permission system was intended to be operating.Could have sworn I saw a guy with 300+ posts (approx) with an avatar
Was the limit changed at some point? 500 does seem a lot when it's only 20 for the Scan free shipping...
Oh yeah here is the example I saw earlier: http://forums.hexus.net/scan-care-he...treme9-ac.html
There are also a few other ways it could happen. One is that some categories of users, for instance, those representing companies like Scan, get a usergroup of their own with custom permissions, giving them some extra capabilities, like closing, deleting posts, etc. And typically, if they become ex-members of that group, they go into a full-fledged member group with standard full privileges for a member. Or it could be an ex-Mod, after a name change, though that, I think I'd remember. It could be an admin test account, though again, that doesn't fit real well with that account. But I do have an account used for test purposes, like, if implementing a new auto-promotion rule, I want to see that the rule works as designed, so I set up a test account or two, edit the properties to test criteria, and wait to see if the auto-promotion (or whatever) does it's thing as intended. That particular account certainly isn't mine, and doesn't look right for an admin test account, but ....
Most likely, I misremember the date of the change, but it could have been amended for some other reason. All I can say is it's rare, at least for me. I do seem to remember a member asking to change his name to Santa, just before Christmas. I did it and, IIRC, gave him an avatar instead of a mince pie, but that again could be my memory playing up. I can't think of any other times I've overridden the avatar setting, but it's possible there was a very good case, and exceptional reason.

Haha, sorry about that!Lol, my phone nearly exploded when I tried to scroll that.
Yes there is a Hexus Illuminati symbol in there! Ok, NOW I'm being silly
Haha. Ironically, this thread has inadvertently increased my post count and got me a bit closer to that Avatar!Now that's more like it
We aim to pleaseand it's done my post some good too lol
I'm loving these emoticons.
We aim to please
I'm loving these emoticons.
just a point about recognising people by avatars. i'm on my 6th or 7th since I reached 500. so you can probably ignore mine, but my name being green makes it a bit more obvious that its one of 'the special ones'* posting, so ill be easy to spot anyhow
I would be changing it again, but santa has referred to it in a recent thread and I don't want to make them look like an idiot pointing at something that won't make sense if I change it.
i'm nice like that.
and just because no-ones mentioned it. that custom text above the avatar is limited to 20 or 25(?) chars last time I looked.
*the special ones - those of us who plucked up the courage to actually want to meet the faceless keyboard zombies who lurk in this forum, but in real life. and yes we do bite.
(read the post count reward thread for details)
Indeed. I have your official 5k posts Hexus thong here, which is ready for dispatch and awaiting your 5000th postJust imagine what opens up to you once you hit the 5k mark...
http://www.cafepress.com.au/+hexus+underwear-panties
And I have treasured that avatar ever since. But it isn't christmas so I don't fancy anyone else's chances of getting a pre-500 posts avatar from you!
You are indeed nice Stevie but don't worry I'm quite capable of making myself look an idiot anywayI would be changing it again, but santa has referred to it in a recent thread and I don't want to make them look like an idiot pointing at something that won't make sense if I change it.
i'm nice like that.
