All I want to know is when I'm going to be able to rate other users posts as being ?

Dec 29th or whenever you fork over some dosh.

Meh, I can wait

> 1998
> Mere Weeks away from release...

Can someone remind me to come back in 9 months and rate this post as ?

I feel the same about everyone who joined after 2016.

2012 is not that far from 2016. To me anyone who is below 10 years and thinking of himself as not-new-user is weird. Unless it's an alt (which is particularly true for Patrons, because these people NEED access to sections that are restricted to them otherwise).

Just get your patron tag pay pig.
This Xenforo license ain't cheap.

I've been here for years and I still can't use most ratings. Good thing I'm a brofist maximalist.

Last time I was here, the /b sub was public, and it was exactly what I expected. The post quality must have improved severely, otherwise why charge to use it?

We are here for a fun ride it seems.

Every newfaq should be obliged to write at least a 3 page long essay regarding his experience with RPGs. Should the essay turn out to be a plagiarism or not be approved for any other reason, it's a thanks kay bye. Alternatively, let the user have another chance in a year and for that time period have him have access to a single subforum chosen randomly with only reading ability etc..
Just noticed another based user here in this thread had similar thoughts regarding this! I have to get in the habit of reading more thoroughfully I guess. Maybe not

I take consolation in the fact that I'm much older in meat space than most who've got a join date predating mine.

Wait I don't, actually that means I don't have much left...

When can we expect yours?

 

[thesheeep]

After that, I think they do not specify anything else, but I notice that I can't use the searches unless it is the search by tags. So, I wanted to know if that is a limitation for being a new user

Yes.

What is the reasoning behind restricting search function for new users?
It seems a bit weird - isn't search functionality already limited by new users not being able to see posts from several sections of the forum?

As soon as the corresponding rule comes up, of course.
And depends if you need to retroactively upload anything, obviously

Search is one of the most database intensive operations a user can do on a forum. (Depending on your search query)
Limiting search to good boi users who passed the trial by fire reduces the chances of someone maliciously using it. (and if someone does you can just turn the faucet off)

We roll a dice about what features should or shouldn't be available for users.
