Why is it that Just because i'm new i can't even enjoy this forum fully?

EverGreenLife

Us newcomers are not allowed to do half the things that the members can do. it's a bit difficult to get 50 points and 30 comments, especially if you don't know how to make yourself known. you can't even post pics to make people comment more or Lol you, meaning it's hard to earn points. am i the only one who feels this way? :/

There was a problem with trolls coming on here and posting bad stuff and having inappropriate avatars and stuff. So that's why there's certain restrictions for new members.

No, you aren't. Everyone has to go through it though. Just hang in there, you'll get what you need in no time! :) Just prowl the forums a bit, there are plenty of friendly people and good discussions going on. Ask questions, pop by some of the intro threads. I promise, you'll get there. And to prove it - a like and a LOL, from one new member to another! We have to stick together afterall! o:)

thanks :smile:

If you want to make points and comments fast just go into threads that interest you!

Everyone had their points reset back to zero. It got really bad last August-October with the nasty trolls posting nasty, unwanted and illegal pictures. Since EA has put this system in place, it's cut back on a lot of troll activity. If someone really wants to be a full member, then they need to work hard at it but it really won't take that long as I have seen people who just made an account getting to full member status within a 24 hour period. The ones that became members when this new system was put in place became a member because they had the requirements that they needed because they were very activity on the old TS3 site and had earned the badges just for being here for The Sims anniversaries and commenting.

You earn points when you get these badges for "lol' and "Like".

Badge points for "lol"
5 lol = 5 points
25 lol = 5 points
100 lol = 10 points
250 lol = 25 points
500 lol = 50 points

Note about the lol points
Unlike "likes' that give 1 point for every like you receive, lol's will only gather points in the form of badges as shown above

Badge points for "Like"
5 Likes = 5 points
25 Likes = 5 points
100 Likes = 10 points
250 Likes = 25 points
500 Likes = 50 points

Badge points for "Comments"
1st Comment = 2 points
10 Comments = 5 points
100 Comments = 10 points
500 Comments = 15 points
1000 Comments = 20 points
2500 Comments = 20 points
5000 Comments = 20 points
10000 Comments = 20 points
25000 Comments = 20 points
50000 Comments = 20 points

Badges for The Sims Anniversary
1st Year = 5 points
2nd Year = 5 points
3rd Year = 5 points
4th Year = 5 points
5th Year = 5 points
6th Year = 5 points
7th Year = 5 points
8th Year = 5 points
9th Year = 5 points
10th Year = 5 points
Ancient Membership = 5 points

The Miscellaneous Badges
Combo Breaker = 5 points
Name Dropper = 5 points
Photogenic = 10 points

Badges that aren't in use/service
Agrees (We had agrees in the beginning but they got removed)
Awesome (Don't know if EA is ever going to activate this)
Insightful (Don't know if EA is ever going to activate this)
Up Votes (Don't know if EA is ever going to activate this)

Twitter Connector
Facebook Connector (Either these 2 haven't been activated or no one has figured out how to get the badges for these yet)
