+ 7 NEW SITE QUESTIONS
There is so much new, I'm sure you're lost and confused. Ask away, I'll do my best to answer here.
KARMA EXPLAINED
Points distribution is based on contribution with different modifiers.
Even if you don't like it, this was a much needed change, karma circlejerking and whoring for promos was a problem with the previous setup. A lot of high level badges were earned "illegally".
Users were granted when karma was being recalculated and distributed:
- 1 Comment karma for every 10 comments.
- 1 Review karma for 5 reviews.
- 1 Pic karma for 5 pics.
- 1 Forum karma for 5 forum posts.
- 1 Group karma for 5 group posts.
- 1 Karma for 1 cycle log.
- 1 karma for 10 news posts.
Since launch, new rules are in effect:
- 1 Karma when post or comment is up/down voted.
- 1 Review Karma when a Review is submitted.
- 1 Pic Karma when pic is submitted.
- 1 Forum Kama when forum post is submitted.
- 1 Cycle Karma for a cycle submitted.
- 1 News Karma for submitted news.

Nice. I was wondering how to do the emojis.
A World of Excitement awaits ......
Oh Im gonna get obnoxious with it.
I've yet to see ya lose your Emoji Virginity Scooby
Makwa hooked me up. I didn't know how to do it. I would see people post emojis and I would try doing it from my laptop or phone emojis. It wouldn't work and I'd give up. And then I finally asked someone how to do it. Lol
Its when you start sending them in PM's - thats when you know you've got a problem Lmao
@Tbone69, @Saint-gannett you can now click the button for a popup list
AnonHow do we as users know who we owe a review to if we’ve been tagged with “owes a review”?
@BFG
x2
There isn't a way right now, i'll sort it out
...is something a whore would say.
If you didn't know I'd say there was a problem.
...He says not meaning to impugn Tbone69
Is it possible to get a tab for cycle logs under our profile to help us keep track of the cycles we run?
I can only see the first page on all of the Source Intro's. Can't scroll to page 2, 3 etc. It doesn't even show the pages you could scroll to.
Looks like its working now.
Same here
surprised not seeing a thumps up or down (I guess good counts as thumbs up)
Hi Buddy - Is there any way we can make the Smiley's work in the Steroid Reviews section BFG?
fixed
Thanks BFG
I still cannot upload images to cycle log... error codes of several kinds, including Java messages, and more. I can upload gear pics and avatar, so it should not be my system, is jpeg and small enough, but error code anytime I try.
Can you email, pm or post here your complete error message please.
email sent
How do I post smileys?
Choose which one you want from the selection above then type the exact thing you see to it on the left where you want it to be placed. Remembering the : either side
@press1 you can type :welldone: in comments by prefixing \, like this \:welldone:
works for bold text and other markup, **bold text**
:welldone: Aah yes - I see what you mean so they can see what to type without it displaying the smiley!
It was nice to be able to see the number of PM a source had.
It's still buggy as in it'll in some cases count unread PMs from deleted users too, so I'm reluctant to release that as it is.
BigCactusI noticed you can see detailed profile info, including using the tracking function, seeing what pictures they posted of users without even being a member here. Shouldn't that be shielded from non-members?
user profiles are not accessible to anonymous users anymore.
StevebNo more tags? Expert, BAN, NEW, whatever?
@Steveb, only new, pro, mod, adm for now. More coming when I figure out how to tag users and what kind of badges to assign. I wanna avoid cases where a user with a 10yo comment history can be tagged EXP for basically shitposting in offtopic.
Maybe a user to user voting system... and let the community decide who is worthy of a shiny badge instead of an algorithm.
so latest in, if you tag a user by typing @ before a username like this @BFG, the tagged user gets a pm with a link to the content or comment he was mentioned in
It shows up in the new 'Mentions' tab also next to the security tab
How to post update to cycle log?
Update your current cycle post. We don't have a separate "cycle update" posts anymore.
How come I cant post pics anymore?
Click on your profile logo in the top right-hand corner. In the menu choose "submit
I find this look very appealing but we will all have to get used to it a bit to make it easier to use. There is still a lot of work to be done. Good luck to all.
So I literally went from over 300 karma down to 87? I don't think that can be correct in any way, I was never part of any circlejerk upvoting and I used to one of the most active members on the site (almost been here 10 years now).
Not that the karma really matters, what's much worse is that all PMs have disappeared. I have been way less active lately due to lockdowns and the inability to train, but following my email inbox for PMs I have received it just takes me to an error page.
I really feel like everyone who shot me a PM is still owed a response. Guess the PMs aren't coming back, are they?
-Messaging glitches or is not working properly.
-karma is correct. It's adjusted to right parameters.
-i can't update my cycle log. With updates
What's the issue?
Update your current cycle post. We don't have a separate "cycle update" posts anymore.
@BFG thanks.
I mean I have sent several.messages to store. And half of them was not even delivered. I noticed that after long silence from source. They have not received messages as they say only notification that I have sent message. But not mesage it self. I keep observing this..
Brother they have halved everyone's karma, evidently it is a new rule that we all have to participate in.
It's good that we're all starting again together.
Old PMs are gone. We had a notification up for days. Karma was completely reworked, see post above.
Hi BFG - There is something wrong with the AShop SI. Both me and Dobermann are unable to leave a comment on it - it comes up with an Error prompt.
What's the error when you try to access https://www.eroids.com/sourcetalk/AShop.in
