What are Veterans? How do I become one?

[quote=Nighthawk]If I recall correctly, I think Jhoi got the quickest vet status, she got it in like 3 months I think.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Nighthawk] If I recall correctly, I think Jhoi got the quickest vet status, she got it in like 3 months I think. [/quote] 5~ more like it. Joined close to the same time as me.[/quote]

[quote=Matt]We have no specific rules about how long you have to be a member :) It only matters what you do in that time. We have many users that have been around a long, long time that are still not Vets. You have to earn the status.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Yea, did you see all that jhoi did? The review thread, sigs, her guides, etc. And overall a very helpful and nice person :)[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]<3 Wrath. Also, I joined a while ago, but I didn't actually start participating in the forums until I released my Ashe guide ^^ Also, I believe I was in the right place at exactly the right time. The site needed some more vets to help out around here, and four of us got promoted. It believe it had been a long time since a vet promotion :)[/quote]

[quote=Bryun][quote=Matt] Note that Veterans [b]DO NOT[/b] achieve their status by: [list] [*] Being a top ELO player. [*] Having the highest rated guides. [*] [color=#ffff00][b]Having a high post count.[/b][/color] [*] Asking to be vets. [/list] [/quote] I love that rule so much because it's funny how some people in this forum think they deserve a [i]veteran[/i] status just because they post a lot. I just think to myself, "was more than half of those posts helpful in any way?".[/quote]

[/quote] I'm not disagreeing with you or anything, but it's kind of un realistic to expect someone like Lugi (3k posts) or Nameless (2k posts) to have over half their posts be helpful. Sometimes people just want to do other things like chill in the off topic section or w/e. Or in Lugi's case, spam game threads like hurt or heal :P Also not asking to be a vet (probs don't deserve it, idk) but I have the same stuff Jhoi does (sig shop, review thread) :P[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Lol at me. I wanna be vet. I don't entirely deserve it but, I think like... ~500 of my posts are anywhere near helpful. I should have only like, 100 rep too but some guy +rep-ed me for like a month. EDIT: If I was a vet, I wouldn't do much other than update the DB and free champs. I'd still be around though. :p[/quote]

You are doing a fine job so far but it's not really anything 'new'. (Maybe I'm just upset you haven't reviewed my guide yet :3) But I see how many you have to do and rules should be implemented to limit the amount of reviews.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]I wanna be a vet too...sometimes i've seen guides that if I was a vet I could rec and get more attention to those that are good. That would be nice, I think, although I like practically never vote on any guides so I wouldn't vet rec tons either. It'd be nice to fix some of the bugs in moba too (last time I checked sona still had no specifics in her skillset, for example) EDIT: I don't really mind reviewing tons of guides in my review thread. Of course it gets tedious but it can be fun too. The only reason I don't do it a lot is I have 7 hours a day to go on my laptop. If I eat supper, that's 6 hours. In 6 hours, there's only so much time to review guides (I can do about 2 guides an hour) and I like playing LoL too, and it goes for like an hr a game, so there's very little time to review guides if I play LoL too. I play hockey a lot too, which lasts for 2 hours, which means even less time.[/quote]
