KDStudios Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Okay so it's always bothered me but I cannot figure out it's purpose. In most members profiles we have "bullets"Reference: http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_images/Dark/bullet_black.pnghttp://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_images/Dark/bullet_black.png I have 5 of these and I've noticed other members have 2 or 3... Some don't even have that. What are they supposed to signify? I cannot find talk about it anywhere. I think they're related to post count. I've seen an account back from 08 with only 1 bullet.I appeared in 2010 and have 5. What is their purpose? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacheldrahtkuecken Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hm, never thought of those....it seems that they don't show up on the premium members, moderators and admins. The alt-tags for the images are "pip"...maybe like those on the collar of starfleet uniforms? ;-)It seems you're some kind of five-star admiral Mr. KD...But instead of of looking through html-sourcecode in my spare time I now think I should just wait for an answer.

KDStudios Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yeah they don't show up on them. Heh I could cheat and put this in my signature " http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_images/icon_green_premium.png "But that would be cheating heh :P It would be amusing if it had something to do with starfleet uniforms.Hmmm I wonder if being the high ranking admiral of the forums gives me special powers to command the other "peasants" hehe :D It's probably something based on post count o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReverendTholomewPlague Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 It is based on post count. When I was a regular I had two. Now I have three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeTheDragon Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Post count or participating it is most likely. Look at other forums, they all have a similar ranking system, be it stars, ribbons, changing color form silver to gold to start at 1 again, whatever. They have no functional meaning though. The amount of these things you have doesn't give any special permissions or something along those lines. It's just like the Activity Point ranking system, a nice statistical feature, as are the titles. Edited July 5, 2011 by DrakeTheDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
