The holiday season is upon us and what a better way to ring in than with some community oriented updates!

Custom Member Titles - Still 'Fresh Meat'? Get a load of this...
As we should all be incredibly familiar with, your presence and activity here in the OMEC Games Forums is rewarded with odd, quirky member titles right under your avatar as your post count increases. So, what happens when your post count rises to (and exceeds) the requirement for our "top prize" member title? Having the same member title from that point onward doesn't sound like you've really achieved anything at all. Given that, I've decided that all OMEC Member (Plus) users with 1,000 posts or more should be able to input their very own member title! Qualifying members will see "Unlocked: Custom Titles" upon achieving 1,000 posts and will be able to edit their custom title from their "Preferences" menu.

If you're just several posts away, please exercise patience and mind the Community Guidelines. Spamming for this achievement will result in your post count being rolled back and loss of title customization privileges.

Registration Validation - Don't wait up for me!
Registration has always been a painful process for our prospective and new members. To ease the pain, I've decided to completely lift the Administrative Validation (which requires an OMEC Games Staff member to manually approve your registration and enable your account). Instead, new members will only be required to validate their e-mail details (instructions provided during the registration process) and the system will automatically upgrade the accounts pending to full OMEC Member (Basic) members! Administrative approval is scheduled to return upon release of our new site, so take advantage of this wait-free registration period!

In other news...
  • ...the "New & Needing Approval" thread, previously used for/by members awaiting validation, has been converted to "General Inquiries" and now takes questions on a multitude of issues.
  • ...as OMEC Games is no longer dedicating focus to just RuneScape, the "RuneScape Username" field has been removed from the registration page and all profiles.
  • ...select users will now display a "Team" field in their profile. This field is for Special Status titles, allowing members with these titles to have access to the Custom Titles update.
  • ...per stellar suggestion from Catherine, the 'Forum Moderator' title will be transitioned to 'Forum Magistrate'. These changes will take effect over time, but will be complete no later than the initial release of our new site.
  • ...a "Community Moderation" page has been posted and is accessible via the link under the banner at the top of each page (or here) and contains information regarding OMEC Games Staff, OMEC Games Volunteer, and Forum Magistrate members.

Hi there,

I've updated the main post of this thread to include further detail about the updates and "sell you" all a bit more on them! ;)
