To further prevent spamming, and to reward our members for posting, we have added a new member group!
In the past, all new members would automatically become registered users, and after 10 posts they would gain the ability to post links to other websites in their posts.
Now, all new members are still listed as "registered users," and after 10 posts, "registered users" become promoted to "veteran users." New "registered users" will have some restrictions placed on them until they hit 10 posts.
Registered users have the following restrictions until they hit 10 posts on the message board: - Profile pictures of only 200x200 pixels
- Private Message box can only hold 10 messages, and you can only PM 2 members at a time
- Unable to post links to other websites in their posts
- Unable to host pictures in Obesity Discussion's free picture hosting service
- Unable to rate threads
- Unable to have signatures below posts
- Unable to track private messages to see if they have been read
- Unable to view who is online (guests or members)
- Unable to email members
- Unable to post events in the Obesity Discussion calendar
- Unable to upload attachments
- Unable to post polls (you can vote in them however)
Veteran users receive the following benefits upon promotion: - Profile picture maximum size goes to 640x640 pixels
- Private Message box can hold 50 messages, and you can PM up to 5 members at a time
