Just as the title says, this thread is a focus on member account progression via account title promotion.

Recently, I visited the 'edit profile' feature and began to customize my account. I added a background image, I changed the color of my text, updated my bio, etc. When I was working on my account layout, the background image, the text color, etc., I realized there was no live 'save edit' button. I couldn't customize my account and then discovered my title must be promoted in order to garner an account title promotion.

The search began, as I set out to find a list of the titles that members can be promoted to and the requirements needed to achieve each subsequent promotion. I am sure that, by now, you have guessed I was unsuccessful in my quest for this information.

This thread is where I hope one of the great Vizzed mods or someone from the Vizzed membership will post the information I am looking for. I know there must be tons of people out there who are just as confused and curious as I am and I know this information would go a long way in answering these question.

I'd like to see this information posted here and then made available to all the members who really need to understand how to grow their accounts. It can be very frustrating looking for this information and that could lead to being discouraged with Vizzed over-all. I could imagine someone having trouble locating this information, getting frustrated and discouraged, then leaving Vizzed for good.

If they really want the ability to customize their account & they learn a title promotion is required, then they are unable to discover the requirements needed to grow their account and be awarded a title promotion, I believe they would feel helpless and would probably lose interest in Vizzed altogether.

The inability to locate the information and understand the requirements of title promotion probably leads to a mentality similar to this; 'Why put in the effort if I don't even know the goal?'

I hope not, but I think losing members over something like this probably happens a lot. The sad thing is it would be an easy fix if the information was more prominently displayed - possibly made a sticky in the relative forum...

Thanks for the link!

I am going to post it in this thread too, since members could potentially see this thread before locating the list of Member Account Progression & Title Promotion.


Username colors:
They vary depending on the gender, level and power level.
Dark - Light: Lower level - Higher level
(For Guys) Blue - Green: Youngest - Oldest.
(For Girls) Red - Pink: Youngest - Oldest


Italic Username: If a user has 25 or more posts for the day their name becomes italicized. This resets once the day is over.


Power levels:

Banned : A user who has violated the rules and is either blocked from site features temporarily or permanently. User can still play their own purchased games, view posts and use the PM system but that's about it.

Newbie member : This is what you are when you sign up. You have all the basic privilege's and can post in most forums but you have a few limitations; here are the limitations:
-Cannot post pictures unless they are located on vizzed.com
-Cannot post clickable links unless they are located on vizzed.com
-Cannot upload pictures -Cannot post any form of html
-Can only make 1 thread per a day
-Can only send 10 PMs per a day
-Can only make up to 10 Viz per a post
-Can only rate 5 games per a day

Normal member : After you've been a member for at least 7 days and have 10 or more posts, you become a Normal member. However, you do not get this power level until a day after reaching the requirements. Users of this power level do not have the restrictions that a Newbie Member has.

Trusted member : By respecting fellow members, a user can gain 'Trust Points' - with at least 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.

Vizzed Elite : Only a few are ever given this position. To qualify, you have to be a very well known and trusted member, been part of vizzed for more than 6 months, and have more than 250 posts. Most previous forum staff members who were staff and did a lot as staff are also given this position. Occasionally I may choose someone who doesn't meet requirement but it's rare.

RGR Staff : Someone who helps out with the Retro Game Room.

Local Moderator : A staff member who has mod powers to selected forums and can ban people from those forums. Age restriction is 13 years old.

Global Moderator Male : A staff member who has mod powers over every forum and can also ban users. Also has superiority over local mods. Age restriction is 16 years old.
Global Moderator Female : A staff member who has mod powers over every forum and can also ban users. Also has superiority over local mods. Age restriction is 16 years old.

Administrator : A staff member who is 2nd in command. Has mod powers over every forum, every user, and has superiority over every staff member except the Owner. (it's very unlikely anyone will ever be granted this position again)

Enki812 : There is no reason to have a thread like this since this information is all clearly laid out in the "Help Center' Unfortunately people refuse to read is, just as they will refuse to read this thread.

I'm glad that you found the information you were looking for. If you need further help feel free to PM me directly.

For now I am closing this thread.
