Strict site you guys have here. I like that (even if it does make some things slow to get through for newbies like myself). =p So, what's the minimum trusted points requirement so I could customize my profile? I wouldn't mind having my signature decked out too, if I need points for that as well.

"By respecting fellow members, a user can gain 'Trust Points' - with atleast 5 'Trust Points', a user automatically becomes Trusted; a Trusted Member becomes a Normal user if they go below 3 points. Trusted members have access to a few extra forums, can make a custom title, can access vizzed uploader, have an underlined username, can give or take trust points from other users, etc. This is a great privilege. "

That's from the help center.

noelia : I don't believe this thread belongs in this forum.

Okay, thanks, I suppose I just have to wait then. =p Oh, and I see what you mean by the placing of this thread, Specter. I was aiming for the help forum, but I subliminally selected this one, I think, cause it was a newbie question. X9

Our community may be "strict" per say, but we're very welcoming of any member that doesn't spam/flame. Basically, if you follow the rules and use good grammar, you will earn the respect of all of the members of Vizzed.

Some good places to visit to get TP and respect:

The Help Center

Basically the FAQ of Vizzed. If you read through most of that, you'll end up being a pretty respected member. Plus, reading that will also help give you some background info on the origins of Vizzed.

The Newbie Quiz

A relatively easy quiz, if I say so myself. I'm assuming you've already taken it; but still, referring back to it every once in a while will help you reach your goals.

The Chat Rooms

I can't give the link to this one because its an individualized URL for each person... but its easy to access at the top of the page. That's basically the social center of Vizzed... everybody meets up there. There are some rude people there though; just ignore them or block them, they're lamers.

Hopefully this quick little thing helps.

Customizing your layout and signature actually does not require any Trust Points. I believe Normal members have access to changing their post layout. I know that some Normal members now have layouts, but I'm not sure if there is a post count requirement. In the past, you needed at least 250 posts.

Anyway, to become Normal you need at least 10 posts and you need to have been a member for at least 7 days. When both situations are fulfilled, you become a Normal Member. You can read a bit more about that here:

Wow, you guys have done such a great job helping out I guess me and BNuge aren't the only ones reading the help center anymore! Yay! LOL

Yeah, BNuge covered it, you need at least 10 posts and be active for a week to get past newbie status, then when you're normal you should be able to do most kinds of customizing. This is to prevent some losers from making an account and posting porn or gross thing as part of their layout or just messing around with the whole page by leaving tags open.

I'm going to close this thread then, great team work everyone, LOL If you have any questions why I closed this thread or want more information on the topic, feel free to PM me.
