Clueless Member Rank up?
Started by 3ydney, 07 March 2013 - 06:54 PMPosted 07 March 2013 - 07:54 PM
Does anyone know how many post are need to become the next member rank? You might say this probably shouldn't be posted here…
Posted 07 March 2013 - 07:55 PM
I think about 60 is your next rank up.
Posted 07 March 2013 - 07:56 PM
Thanks bud. I suppose your next one is Moderator?

The one I got is a custom one that has to be requested. you can request at 1000+ …

In response to your signature, my OS is fairly lightweight. Well it used to be (Kinda still is)
Ah, when I reach 1000… EnderOS Dev ftw!

I like EnderOS… I just tested it.
Even though I don't have the rank of a high posting member that suggest I know Lua well, I have a firm grip around it but I still can find tables hard. I have picked it up so quick because I know how to program Java very well.

Who do we request a custom rank from? I've always wondered about that since the custom rank I had for a short time got stripped. Though I find that I don't mind having "Request Your Own Title" as my rank, since it is rather amusing, given that I don't know how. So maybe I don't want to know…
Nah, I do want to know. I just might not do anything with the information if I find out.

Hate Java; Get Lua! If you like EnderOS then you will love the new update I am releasing soon. (some members on my server liked CraftLock better.. Such nubs) I love tables! (Sometimes I even eat on them :D/>)

If you know Java, just think of tables as a Dictionary crossed with an ArrayList. Only it isn't restricted to only store one data type.
Posted 07 March 2013 - 09:51 PM
Well if you put it that way ( I never thought of it like that…. )

That was how I originally got my mind around tables. Was to think of them in that way.Well if you put it that way ( I never thought of it like that…. )

It's actually 50 I think.. But it does'nt matter so much anyway.I think about 60 is your next rank up.
And I haven't used Java in ages and will try to see if I remember anything..
It was fun when I used it but now I just use LUA,HTML,PHP and GameMonkey =D
I just learned a little HTML and PHP recently since I was bored..

I wasn't positive, it was over 2000 posts ago for me.It's actually 50 I think.. But it does'nt matter so much anyway.

I bet TOB also said that kind of stuff…2000 posts ago ;)/>

No I was stating a fact. It was so long ago that I am not positive on the value.Thou art a braggart, sir, a braggart.
Said what now?I bet TOB also said that kind of stuff…2000 posts ago ;)/>
Wooo. #2 overall. :P/>
Posted 08 March 2013 - 03:39 PM
Stuff that Pro Coders say about forum members with ranks like…what was it? Lua Maniac and Diabolical Coder and Serial Code Monkey and such.
Posted 08 March 2013 - 03:41 PM
ahh. you need to request a title Chun. :P/>
Posted 08 March 2013 - 03:50 PM
If you want to request your own title. feel free to PM me with your requested title. If we approve it, I'll apply it right away.Who do we request a custom rank from?

Is it actually a process that has to be approved by multiple mods?If we approve it
Posted 08 March 2013 - 03:53 PM
No, it's just common sense. I'm not going to approve something like a ridiculously long title or something that is offensive. I'm pretty much the only mod that is willing to take the requests anyway.Is it actually a process that has to be approved by multiple mods?
Posted 08 March 2013 - 03:55 PM
I know that! :P/>I'm pretty much the only mod that is willing to take the requests anyway.

Trivia time :D/>
Deep in its bowels, lua treats tables as both hashtables (which is actually what a dictionary is - a strongly typed hashtable, assuming it's the same in C# and Java) and arrays (or possibly array lists, depending on how it handles typing). When a table first gets it's member, that's when lua decides which to use.
If you declare a table as
local tab = {},
then assigned it a value like so: tab[1] = 'hello mine turtle'
, the LVM (lua virtual machine, like the JVM but more friendly) would figure out it needed to assign an array, but not a hashtable. You could keep adding data to numerical indexes and all it would do is expand the array as required to save on heaped memory.However, the moment you assign a non-numerical key, for example
tab['hello'] = 'click, boom'
the LVM knows arrays won't cut it and assigns a hash table.What this essentially means is - if a table has only numerical entries, it only has an array behind it; if a table has only non-numerical entries, it only has a hashtable behind it. If it has both numerical and non-numerical, it has an array and a hashtable, which means it uses more memory generally speaking.
Javascript works similarly to this with its own objects.
Wasn't that fun to know? Probably not, but now you know anyway.

I always tend to remember random details about people and random trivia. Makes it really easy to impress people.Thank you.That was some nice trivia.

I don't think Clueless used to be that far to rank up… Did they change it?
Posted 08 March 2013 - 05:39 PM
One does not simply Moderator by posting. :P/>Thanks bud. I suppose your next one is Moderator?
Hasn't been changed, as far as I know.I don't think Clueless used to be that far to rank up… Did they change it?
Posted 09 March 2013 - 07:55 AM
I did not know. But I did suspect that it wouldn't be appropriate to just PM the Mods at random. Now I have to think of a new title…perhaps my title will be "PM Cranium to Request Your Own Title". But then Cranium will probably get lots of PM's from clueless members. "If you have a thousand posts, then PM Cranium to Request Your Own Title" is a bit long…and I feel that it makes the irony of the title feel a bit dissipated. It also comes across as a bit forced…having "Request Your Own Title" came about so naturally.I know that! :P/>I'm pretty much the only mod that is willing to take the requests anyway.
Hmmm….

Wait, I am supposed to get moderator at over 2k posts? :o/>
I thought it was 100ish :P/>

Actually, one person had, waited 10 minutes, and then deleted the PM, and then complained because nobody replied. Who knew? :D/>
Moral of the story - I can do them, just don't expect me to be ready to pounce. I have a life these days. :P/>

I overuse :P when joking, calm down.

I did. months ago now. pretty sure through PM and then through IRC a few days later.Nobody has actually asked me.

I also was once nominally alive. Though I'm not sure I had a life, as such. Ugh…now I feel the horror of my unlife, we should go back to making really lame puns and stuff. No more talk of having been alive!
