+Piecemeal 450 Posted September 8, 2009 i am a new member,aaa not so new and i want to get promotted to modders level. what should i do or what are the requrements. Patience, young padawan. All good things come to those who wait. As far as I know; a members ranking depends on how active they've been on the forum. In otherwords, the more messages you post the higher your rank becomes.

FastCargo 412 Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) The title of 'Modder' is a little nebulous. There is no hard and fast rule about what is considered a modder in the ThirdWire series. I will tell you in general that for a person to be considered, in preferred order of importance, quality, difficulty, originality, consistency and quantity of released products are all factors. A few simple ini edits, even if good ones, probably won't get you branded as a modder (lack of difficulty). A single aircraft, terrain, enviromental mod, even with help from others in textures, ini's, etc, probably will get you labeled as a modder even though it's just one item, because the other factors are high (quality, difficulty, etc). Other things include having a decent readme, a willingness to accept constructive and appropriate critiqing, and being willing to fix major errors. Notice that most of these factors are subjective...so the title of modder to an extent is subjective. Another way to put it...the title of Modder is earned...it isn't given. A very important difference. FC Edited September 8, 2009 by FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted September 9, 2009 And here is an example of what to avoid if you want to be known as a modder: http://forum.combatace.com/21bison-t46839.html No screenshot, poor readme, no research. You want to be known as a modder, you NEED to put in the skull sweat. Believe me, people DO notice. FC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Fates 63 Posted September 9, 2009 FC pretty much hit everything on the head. Being a MODDER at CombatAce is an "Earned" position that doesn't simply happen overnight. We except nominations and the CA Staff will conclude a decision. There are extra advantages to the rank here at CombatAce, including MODDER specific forums. If anyone wishes to be nominated to this position, don't hesitate to send a moderator a PM and your request will be evaluated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Brain32 265 Posted September 11, 2009 FC pretty much hit everything on the head. Being a MODDER at CombatAce is an "Earned" position that doesn't simply happen overnight. Yup I waited a long time for it even though I could argue originality and quality weren't lacking and in times when modder status didn't bring as much as now so I can definitely confirm that this status does not come easy...
