Hello @CitySimmer16
I am sorry that you have this issue, There are issues at the moment with the site not registering new members as full members, even though they have the required posts and points. I hope that they will be resolved for you and other new members very soon.
I've had this over 48 hours now and I'm sure I have the required points? This system is so confusing xD
Hello @Lottiesims
You have the required points snd posts, but there is an issue at the moment with the site not registering new members as full members, even though they have the required posts and points. I hope that they will be resolved for you and other new members very soon.
Is it just me or does this system just encourage people to spam post more? Like I'm not a member and I want to be, because I want to be able to make my own discussions (which I used to be able to and then had that revoked because of the points system) and I now find myself scouring the boards looking for even the smallest thing to add to a discussion in the hope someone will like it and give me points so I can become a member. I don't know, it just all seems a bit backwards to me. And I know this post won't change anything but I'm venting. :tongue:

Hello
The new member system encourages simmers to read and post on a number of threads. Simmers may discover threads or sections of the forums that that may not have known about if they hadn't needed to get the points and posts.It can be hard for simmers who may feel a little shy, and not sure what to say, but most simmers are understanding though and will help new members get used to how the forums work.
No. I feel the same way too. The post and point count is way too high to reach for a new member without spamming. At first I refused to do so, and got stuck lol. I usually only post in topics I'm interested in and actually have something to say. This forum forced me to just spam as a routine task.
If you don't spam, it's quite easy to lose interest long before you find enough topics to post in.
That all said, I completed your mission, I have my points. I don't think I have my membership. =w= Idk tho, this system doesn't really make me want to come back unless I absolutely have to...

@reanseih Yeah I think it's glitched right now, but I don't know how long it's been that way since I've only been posting actively for about a day. I agree with what you said though, having been a member... well, a new member at least, for nearly 2 years it feels as though there should be some kind of cut off or exception. So maybe have this points system to encourage people who really are new members to post, but then have an exception where if you've been signed up for a month, or six months, or a year even, then you automatically get members rights anyway. That way the shy people get member status without being forced to spam (and being forced out of their comfort zone in the first place) but you're still encouraging brand new people to post. Mostly I'm just annoyed because I used to have member rights that were taken away. For months I'd come to this forum every time I had a glitch, find I couldn't post a discussion and assume that was another glitch before I realised it was just something I'm not longer allowed. Right now I'm trying to get member status because I want to post a discussion on a genetics experiment I'm doing, and it seems like an awful lot of work just for that. So I agree in that it could be turning members away (especially with this glitch right now that means the system doesn't even work).
Yeah, it's super frustrating. It feels like they really don't care to try to fix it, because the only people who are really affected are new members, and nobody pays much attention to us (except Rose, thanks Rose!)
I don't mind waiting, I just get concerned it'll never happen. Seen too many broken sites never get fixed and I don't exactly trust EA that much when it comes to fixing bugs. :/

Could this be related to the recent issue with Advert Videos not awarding any Sim Points as promised?
Hello @Phollie
It wouldn't be connected because that is on the other Sims 3 site. The issue is with this forums not recognising that new members have be required posts and points.
Ah, thank you for the clarification. I'm just having a bad Sims day it seems; member points not being recognised, ad videos not paying out sim points, and the general glitchy goodness of the game. :D
This is quite complicated just to get a membership :angry: I needed to post a thread about CC not working but I'm unable to due to only being a 'new member' even though I've had this account for roughly 4-5 years.
