Levels?
Tuesday, February 10, 2004 by JerryHat | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
How does the level system work? With particular regard to the various prefixes (Citizen, Skinner, Admin etc.) that's displayed by people's names? Why do some people of obviously different levels have no prefix at all?

Level 1: Visitor. These are users who haven't created accounts. They can download up to 5 megabytes of content before having to create an account.
Level 2: WinCustomize registered user. These are users who have created accounts. Accounts are free to create. Registered users can create posts, talk on the message boards, submit skins, make comments on skins, participate on polls, etc. In the future, there will be a cap on how many megabytes of content they can download without some sort of limitation being placed (such as being put into a download queue).
Level 3: Object Desktop / Stardock customer / Elite User. These are users who have either purchased Object Desktop Network or some other Stardock product (Stardock is WinCustomize's sponser), or has Apprentice access or higher due to contributing to the site in other forms (making skins, being an active contributor to the message boards, etc.). These users get all the benefits of a registered user plus the ability to rate skins and can download an unlimited amount of content.
Level 4: WinCustomize Subscriber. Users who become WinCustomize Subscribers get all the benefits of level 3 users plus:

Some, by choice (like me) choose to have no title in front of their name.
If you own any of the products, you are able to edit your account to make these changes.

Stumpy: If you're suggesting something then I'm happy to tell you I bought Object Desktop some months ago now. I'll be buying a WC sub when this month's credit card clears.
Thanks for your info.

Same for me, took the title from in front of my name as soon as I found I could. Just works better for me is all.
Geoffrey Montgomery, you are the first other member I have seen here so far from Wisconsin. Howdy, ho neighbor.

Thanks Jafo,

If this is Dungeons and Dragons, I want to redefine my character. Pass me the dice. I think I'll go for chaotic neutral this time.
