3p1c

2015-03-25T00:35:06Z

Tutelary: /* Conditions of Upgrading */ spacing

==Overview==
3p1c is [[Hack Forums]] third upgrade group along with Ub3r and L33t. The idea originally started with the name "P0w3r", but it was later changed to "3p1c" because [[Omniscient]] thought it suited the other two better. 3p1c is a secondary group which means a user will not lose his or her L33t or Ub3r status when upgrading.

==Benefits of Upgrading==
The benefits of upgrading to 3p1c are:

*Private Message box increased to 5000
*Search flood limit set to 5 seconds
*Max Post Length setting is 24,000 characters
*Post flood limit set to 1 second (*additionally requires Ub3r)
*Private Message flood limit set to 1 second (*additionally requires Ub3r)
*Can invoke a Self Ban
*Ignored members cannot view your profile
*3p1c userbar image on profile

==Upgrading process==
To upgrade to the 3p1c usergroup a member can navigate to the [http://hackforums.net/upgrade.php upgrade page] and select the third option.
The current price is listed there is in USD. Currently, the only way to pay for the 3p1c update is with [[OMC]]. A crypto currency
designed and made for the exclusive use of Hack Forums.

==Conditions of Upgrading==
There are no underlying conditions other than one must upgrade with OMC (Omnicoin) only.

== RAT Expert vs Rat Expert ==

The awards.php says 'Rat Expert' but somehow, this wiki says 'RAT Expert'. I understand because of the way that we like to capitalize things, but if you view it in awards.php, it will say 'Rat Expert'. I would move this page to change the title but I can't find the obligatory popdown to do it via this GUI. [[User:Tutelary|Tutelary]] ([[User talk:Tutelary|talk]]) 17:59, 15 March 2015 (MDT)

The [[Hack Forums]] Wiki is a collaboration of useful and unique information of the website of Hack Forums. It details user biographies, award information, the history of the website and much more.
The Wiki is a place where people can find out more about a certain user, an in-depth analysis on one of the popular tools or people on the forum or even just have some clarification of a specific hacking term which they may not have heard before. The Wiki is constantly being updated, checked and scrutinised to make sure that members have the most accurate information on a particular topic.
It is currently maintained by [[Viral Dragon]] and [[Ethereal]], and has been a work in progress for several years now.
The Wiki has been put together to make it easier for members- new and old- to increase their knowledge of such a wide and growing community.

Hey. I don't often put much stuff in here, but my name is Tutelary and I am a user on Hackforums. I have been in the following groups: Rats Crew, Empire, Brotherhood, Terror, and Eminence. I have lots of background knowledge from HF as well as its inner workings like policies on certain things that are not in the help docs and the like.

It boasts a long span of historical happenings involving major events such as an FBI scandal, members going rogue or
even April Fools pranks that got the most out of people.

== How are we sure it's the most prestiguous? ==

The award itself doesn't state that, it merely states, 'A valued member of our community.'. It doesn't really pass much judgement. Couldn't 'Hustler' arguably be the most prestiguous or even 'Star'. It just seems arbitrary. [[User:Tutelary|Tutelary]] ([[User talk:Tutelary|talk]]) 17:28, 15 March 2015 (MDT)

I've softened the wording slightly. Thoughts? [[User:Ethereal|Ethereal]] 17:52, 15 March 2015 (MDT)

: What I mean to criticize if only to make sense of whether to pass judgement on an award. [http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4731466 The Wiki guidelines] says to 'Please write objectively.' and 'Please only post factual information.'. How can we tell that this is factual? Who's arguing it? How is it the most prestigious? I would just remove the bit altogether. [[User:Tutelary|Tutelary]] ([[User talk:Tutelary|talk]]) 18:01, 15 March 2015 (MDT)

:: In which case we need a new description to replace that, unless of course you think we should just have the official description? [[User:Ethereal|Ethereal]] 18:05, 15 March 2015 (MDT)
::: I just edited it to what I think it should be. It is the first award in the list, which I think is where the most 'prestigious' came in. Though I don't think the awards are in order from most important to least important. [[User:Tutelary|Tutelary]] ([[User talk:Tutelary|talk]]) 18:12, 15 March 2015 (MDT)

Account Pruning

2015-03-15T23:13:27Z

Tutelary: rework

'''Account Pruning''' refers to the act of deletion of old threads, PMs, posts and accounts in a certain set criteria. This is a necessary step in order to keep the site running as efficiently as possible and to provide the best user experience. Omniscient was once quoted that if he did not, the databases would be too large to handle.

==Post pruning==
In general, posts and threads are not pruned, even after a great deal of time has elapsed. However, the '[[Junk]]' forum is occassionally pruned. This section contains all the information that violates Hack Forums policy and has been removed, and also any threads that have been junked by an Ub3r member. It is not publicly scheduled, but may be announced on the [https://twitter.com/hackforumsnet Hack Forums Twitter ].

==Post count changes==
Users may experience a large drop in post count when the Junk forum is pruned. If you lose a larger proportion of posts than other members, that may reflect the quality of your posts. Its advisable not to complain about this.

==Private message pruning==
Private messages have a significant impact on and so are pruned regularly, based on their age. When private messages are pruned on Hack Forums, only messages created before a certain date will be removed.

[*] Regular members will have all private messages older than two months pruned.
[*] L33t members will have all private messages older than six months pruned.
[*] Ub3r members will have all private messages older than a year pruned.

==Bulk saving and deleting of private messages==
Hack Forums members who want to save their private messages in anticipation of a prune may export their private messages. To do so, use this [http://www.hackforums.net/private.php?action=export link]. After saving them, we ask that members empty their inbox using this [http://www.hackforums.net/private.php?action=empty link]. Please note that the emptying of your PM inbox is irreversible.

==Pruning members==
Any Hack Forums account which is not regularly used and any accounts that have had zero posts for longer than two months may be deleted. This helps to keep the majority of the userbase as active members.

==Requesting deletion of an account==
A member's account will not be deleted or edited in any way under the whim of another user, even if the account is inactive. This particularly applies if the request is for the username that this member has; the name will not be changed. If you wish to use that name, you must wait for the account to be pruned, if it is eligible.

==Closing of inactive accounts==
Regular members' accounts (not L33t or Ub3r) that have been inactive (i.e not logged into) for six months are subject to closure. Closed accounts will be inaccessible and will no longer function; if your account is closed, it will not be receovered. This is normally a safety measure in order to prevent misuse of the account by someone other than the owner.

Should a member wish to rejoin Hack Forums, they may do so providing their account wasn't closed for an alternative reason by a staff member. If your account has been closed due to violation of site policies, the user is not welcome to rejoin the site.
