    OS Forums FAQ ?.

    My sincere apology if there's a FAQ thread out there already. I searched and browsed but couldn't find anything.

    Basically I'm just curious as to post counts, user "title" changes, and that sort of thing. I mean, when do I meet the criteria to no longer be a "Rookie" and become a regular/all-access granted member of the OS Forums?.

    I only ask because I'm so used to forums out there having a post count to reach, etc. in order to become a full member.

    Thanks guys.

    1. Post counts were removed from view in the recent TOS update as a means to curb post padding. You can still view your post count by clicking the "my card" or "my arena" link.
    2. You will become a Pro once you reach 500 posts and an All-Star once you reach 1,000 posts. 5,000 posts makes you an MVP and 10,000 makes you a HOFer.
    3. In order to change your user title (and have a custom avatar), you must become a supporter of OS. Becoming a supporter also grants you access to the OS Supporters Forum.

      Thanks so much Burgh !.

      ... and I just noticed that after posting this reply, my "overall" went up to.

      I hate to ask, but could you explain that while we're at it?. :o

          Go to your Arena, flip your card and you'll see what Overall rating is made of. It's effected, for example, by posts-per-day and by Arena visits. So there's your answer.

            Oops, I reversed it. Shoul've been 1,000 for MVP and 5,000 for All-Star. In my opinion, All-Star should come before MVP though.

                Over 1000 posts and I am a MVP. I guess you did miss it.

                    From Rookie to MVP? Without being at least once an All-Star? It's like winning a title without being in the playoffs...
