Promotions, Probation, and Staff

Promotions:

When a user gets their second green reputation tile, they become a 'TBCS Regular'. The TBCS regulars get certain bonuses, such as:

• Mailbox increases in size to 100.
• Can set a Custom Title.
• Can upload their signature image to the TBCS server.

This is just a little thank you for being such a good citizen here at TBCS!

If a moderator or administrator here at TBCS gives you a citation, you will find yourself on probation. This is only used when necesarry, and users on probation will suffer the following penalties;

• Can no longer open or close their own threads.

• Cannot post polls.
• Mailbox size becomes 50.
• Cannot post events on the TBCS calendar.
• Cannot set self to invisible.
