CHANGES COMING SOON!!

Your mood meter is based on the same parameters that defines the board mood meter. However, the board mood meter only defines a 2 hour window... your personal meter defines your entire history of posting on ATS.

Oh.. forgot to mention...

WARNINGS will still exist, but will no longer be visible to the board public. However, when warnings are applied, they inflict substantial numeric penalties on your status numbers.

INSIDER APPRECIATION also still exists and will not be visible to the board public, but instead, adds numeric benifits to your status numbers.

Also, members who win the Way Above aware will receive a HUGE alotment of status points... and any member that receives a Way Above vote, will also receive a stutus bonus.

insider appreciation adds numeric value? by how much exactly? because i got another one not long ago and i didnt notice any noticable increase if any icnrease occured at all.

look into this or please clarify this for me.

The appreciation hasn't been converted yet... but don't worry, you won't loose your points.

pish posh! i'm not impatient. i was just wondering how this new system works and i wanted to see it "in progress" is all. just wanted to make sure this new system works smoothly. its not often i get insider appreciation and i thought "cool! now i'll see if it'll give any points like william said". more of a morbid curiosity thing really.

William-

about the insider app. thing....will we still get a utou when we get a point or will we not ever know if we have them or not?

you still get U2U's. i got one not long ago so you'll still find out about getting them.

Well, any change is a good change. Not that I didn't like the old system, but I was waiting for a "reformation" or something..............looks pretty good, nice one

So here are some of the things that we're considering for the ATS Store - (and here's a MaskedAvatar reaction to them):

Custom titles - got one
Custom colors for your names - for peacocks only
Avatar gallery - yeah good idea
Purchase the ability to delete your posts - what for?
@abovetopsecret.com e-mail accounts - danger danger Will Robinson
Access to a special private forum - YES! YES! YES!
Purchase banner advertising impressions on ATS - piffle
Additional votes for the Way Above Award - how about facility to remove votes for Way Above Award, from self and others... that would make it more conspiratorial, like Survivor only better...
Access to additional smilies - I reckon there are enough, except I'd like one that releases methane in the direction of a misguided poster
Increase your file storage quota in the upload tool - not bad

Are there other enhancements or items that seem like a logical thing to stock in the ATS store?

Yes.

* Customised avatars by Netchicken (limited to quantity per month)
* Surprises - pay your ATS points, get something bizarre out of the lucky dip bag, that's yours to keep
* U2U or Email hearings with God, or SimonGray (whoever is easier to rouse)
* permanent color contrast on posts in color of choice, for paying Way Above ATS award winners
* purchase the ability to get a banned member reinstated (JUST KIDDING)
* Physical merchandise with ATS logo (this was raised a few weeks back) - customized with identity etc... this would cost $X for garment and Y x ATS points for the custom job


Also a comment for Monkey on 'Way Above'...

It's not a meritocracy, it's just a calculation of the number of times vote buttons are hit.

Newly registering members and multiple personalities are pushing these things randomly as we speak, to see what the hell they do, and pushing them again and again, leaving hanging or discarded chads littering the corridors of ATS.

In other words, it doesn't matter.....!

Nice MA, nice...

I'm not sure about the whole e-mail account idea... it could get dangerous, sounds co though, stick with it.

This new points system sonds great!
I take it Awareness and NWO and ET Resistance are gone for good alog with level, right?

It doesn't matter noone has to anwer those questions...

SITE LOOKS GREAT WILLIAM!!!
