Just reply to this (or make a new topic if you want) indicating that you're not stupid and/or incoherent, and ideally that you've read the registration info thingy.

fyi, only validating folks can make new topics in here, but anybody can reply. :o

Validation is no longer necessary. You can still say hi here if you want. X)

Ah, i see you like Sonic Stadium's idea for a Validation forum. I'm glad you made one, this should eliminate the idiots who like to make random accounts and submit impossible/no records here. So, all in all, good idea Rolko.

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #2 on:** October 24, 2004, 08:41:41 pm »

I prefer SWS2B's idea, but whatever. Less scripting required this way.

Rolken · « **Reply #3 on:** October 25, 2004, 01:24:31 am »

What does SWS2B do?

I wasn't even thinking of TSS; validating is hardly a unique idea. ;(

SadisticMystic · « **Reply #4 on:** October 25, 2004, 01:54:44 am »

SWS2B puts all new users on Trial status for the first 20 posts; once all 20 are used up they automatically go to validating. From there the admin decides whether the member is good enough to merit promotion to Member, or to just leave them alone and hey stay in the purgatory of validating status forever.

Trial members aren't usually banned before 20 unless they really deserve it.

Of course SWS2B also has a quiz about the Sonic 2 ROM and about the Genesis hardware as a requirement just to make it to Trial member, but that would just be overkill and unnecessary.

A quiz wouldn't be that bad, but make it on general Sonic knowledge because if you put too much emphasis on one game and that person doesn't have it, they shouldn't be penalized for it.

There's also another requirement that's related, and in some cases can be considered, stupid/incoherent. More likely than not, you did not meet it.

Why should there be a quiz? Sure, maybe as something on the side if you're bored, but it shouldn't be a requirement. I mean, as long as someone that doesn't know too much about Sonic, but acts like they know everything, and/or they're causing a disturbance/getting annoying, they should still be able to join. If that does come up, they'll probably be banned or repremanded in some form anyways.

Note: Nothing that I say is actually "official".

Hi everyone! Could someone validate me? I didn't really post here very often before the site redesign, but I still want to keep up with all the Sonic time attacking discussion.

Actually no, if you read that you are a perfectly normal person, AND I can back that up due to scientific research. (I'll condense this).

Scientists worked out that when you read something, you only read the first and last letters in order to speed up the process.

Eg

Sometimes

And so, it doesn't matter what order the other letters are in, all you need to read a word is the first and last letters.

Eg

Semotemis

(Hopefully you can read that, if not I've fucked this whole thign up. =) )

So in conclusion, if you can read the above word and Yurka's sentance, you are not a nerd, you a perfectly normal person with a fully functioning brain.

Pwned.

(And if anyone's wondering how I know that, I read it on a site somewhere, they explained that in a paragraph that was using the same concepts as how i've typed 'Sometimes'

Eg Sietnsics hvae fnoud).

I didn't, I've just always wanted to say what I said in my last post and pwn someone completelty, no hard feelings =)

And SM, thats card's amusing =P

F-Man · « **Reply #16 on:** November 26, 2004, 12:08:17 pm »

I get the feeling this will prevent some members from posting just because they don't want to go through reading how to validate and do it. The forum's already pretty unpopular as it is... :[

Jeffery Mewtamer · « **Reply #17 on:** November 27, 2004, 12:05:46 am »

Hey I'm Jeffery Mewtamer. I'm a fairly decent Sadv2 player and used to be the King of Ice Paradise 1. I am amerture at SA2:B(despite havint 167 emblems) and a half decent SADX player(130/60/30). I don't say much usually but I usually have a good reason to talk when I do.

Taco · « **Reply #18 on:** November 27, 2004, 10:32:39 am »

*claps*

yay! Another excellent speech!

ya, you're an oldie! You should definetly be re-validated!

It's not fair though :( All the oldies have to re-validate with the newbies...why?

also, I don't havethe power to allow you to post :(

heeeey looook! here comes rolko!

ZekeSulastin · « **Reply #19 on:** November 28, 2004, 07:37:13 pm »

Hello. I'd like to be validated. I read the rules, and will follow them. The forums seem interesting; the stuff in there could help me play through the games faster in school (oops, did I say that aloud?), and maybe even try to compete with you all. Also, the content seems based around the forums, and access would help greatly in reading it :P

I play the Sonic games for the 16-bit consoles and back - nothing further, as I don't own any of the next-gen systems (and I didn't buy DX/PC) ... for what it's worth, my best games are Sonic 2 and Sonic CD. Also, like Jeffrey, I'll probably lurk a bit ...

Jeffery, you need to set your email.

Do y'all get emails on validation? I assume so?

sealion · « **Reply #21 on:** December 04, 2004, 12:42:58 pm »

Hello everyone could I be validated please?

Gamefreak987 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 16, 2004, 11:34:11 am »

Hey please Validate me, Im honest and Pretty good at sonic games ;)

Thanx

Rolken · « **Reply #23 on:** December 16, 2004, 01:06:24 pm »

For everyone who actually asks to be validated there're about ten registered who don't. I wonder if any of them participate in the rankings.

I've been wondering about this for a while.
At first, I couldn't get into the forums at all.
My account disappeared some time after that, and I had to set it up again.
A while later, I found that I could access all parts of the forums.
What happened? Was it that the missing account was a glitch,
and I got validated because people knew me from the chat channel?

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #29 on:** August 22, 2005, 01:34:37 pm »

Possibly. You knew about the downtime right? About April, it was all "onos we're down!" Rolken restored the backup from last november, then restored the backup from december because it was newer. That may have been the thing that happened.

My account got completely wiped with the downtime. I had to sign up again twice; once when the november was restored, then again when december was (which wiped it again; I joined right after that backup was made :( ). So it depends on when you originally signed up I guess.
