5 posts for arcade??
 

how come we have to have 5 posts before we can play the arcade? Is that new? i fancied a go on solitaire but it wont let me in and i cant find any threads i want to post in lol...

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I notice this too today, wasnt there yesterday, I think it is because certain people were spending all thier time in the arcade and not posting. :D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

OMG!! You know what that means! more pointless posts on forum just to go in the arcade :rolleyes:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Yeah I too saw this, this morning, I had the same idea as you Derek

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

someones nicked me high scores as well

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Just wait 'til mick comes home and wipes you out, a few decent posts isn't much to ask is it?

(right that's one post, a quick copy and paste in the other moaning thread....then what do I do?).
:D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I've only posted once today and it's let me play. I know that originally you had to post 5 times if you have less than 1000 posts...... Does this still apply?:)

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Any member caught just posting in any thread just to get in the games section will have there post deleted
so post properly please
only sensible posts will be excepted
posting to 5 new members in introduction is not on so please dont do it.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I like to play on blackpool web too and its always been 5 posts to play...Its much harder to win on here because you are all are genius,s.....:Di am still sulking at slinks,,,:gooddog:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Yoy have had to make 5 posts on Burnley webb for a while now.:thepint:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Think you will find not many people can use arcade on Burnleyweb now.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I think it's only 5 posts if you have less than 1000 posts?

Someone correct me if I am wrong

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

i have not had to do posts on burnley web,,,,,,,,,,maybe thats why nobody ever goes in now...

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

yer wrong!!!!!!! ha ha ha

it wouldnt let me in this morning and im not far off 2000

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

maybe we should ask neal...:confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

its going to take me forever to get back in the arcade then its not often i can think of anything to say lol

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Help!

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Yeah, it is a pain, although I can understand why they have done it
Since Roy was kind enough to put on all the new games, the forum has been extremley quiet
I must admit that when I signed in, I was straight on the games (It's Addictive!)

Thanks Emma for verifying that I was wrong!:D lol

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Granny think it is only people who have donated that are allowed in Arcade on Burnleyweb now. Could be wrong but am more or less sure it is.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Even though I log on nearly everyday for a read of the posts, I don't post much. Looks like I won't be going into the arcade for some time.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Is it within the last 24 hours or done from midnight onwards?

I tend to post throughout the day but this means my morning fix will be delayed

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

My only concern (as i do understand about teh costs involved in running a site like this) is that Mick is effectively saying he is now going to be judge and jury over whether HE deems your post a 'vaulable contribution'. Something that IMHO is not right. there are people who do not have the time or inclination to read every thread and post their opinions.

I also think that there is a certain 'novelty' value with the return of the arcade and that it would soon have dropped to usual levels of posting etc.

Can I ask if teh MODS are also included in teh 5 posts before you play?

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I have already deleted a thread and some posts that are obviously there just to get in the games section.
this was also done the last time we had the arcade with all the mods involved so no its not just me entwisi
posting 5 intoductions one after the other with hello then going streat into the arcade is not helping things .

posts like this are obvious and will be deleted that's all i am saying

post numero two


and here comes numero three

Post one!!!

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Think it is unfair to criticize Mick for deleting posts if you didn't see them. I for one don't think he is just going to delete posts willy nilly because he feels like it. It just takes a bit of sense to post a constructive point rather just do five posts one after the other in the same thread.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Do posts in anything goes count or not?

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Either roys changed it, or wasn't sure about what he thought he was sure about, not that I mind

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

i log on everyday cant wait to see whats gone in accyi know i can read it on accrington web , cause if anyone knows its on here i love it but i dont post a lot but i like the poker on here i will try 5 posts a day i gotta beat cashman lol

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

sorry just noticed my grammar on this post its terrible but i know what i mean lol had a drink or 2

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

dont see a lot wrong wi 5 posts a day, many forums do that.:confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Well I do a bit of arcade , come back post , do a bit of arcade , come back post some more. potter through the day , It isnt really hard to do 5 posts really its all about putting your two pennoth in and keeping the forum ticking over.
If we all stopped posting then there would be no forum . simple!!!
There are plenty of games sites out there but here we have a mixture of both and some good competition,

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Yep and most of the threads are so boring that you would find it hard to post:(

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

as it will not add to your post count "no" posting in anything goes is not classed as contributing to the site.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

:eek: but they are the ones which are of most interest to brain dead people like me,,,,,,,Oh i am now going to have a long sulk and throw my toys out of my pram,,,,,:sad8::sad8::dummy2::dummy2:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I half understand Roys reason for that.

Out of interest did the anything goes posts count in the 500,000 posts to get us in the big boards?

If not what is the sites current post count including all sections of the site?

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

:o I do apologise about that GC :D Brilliant score though isn't it :D I got jackpot twice .... took a while though, thought I would never catch ya hehe

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Another question for you - when does the 5 posts count from? Ive posted 8 times since midnight - but it wont let me in the arcade - but some of them was posted in the early hours .... Im being difficult arent i? :D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

does posting in here count?

if so this is my first one for today....only 4 to go:D:rolleyes:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Mick give the lad a break, make him a moderator and watch his view go through 180 deg's :D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

:o sorreeee, that was me - couple of drinks down and you think youre fummy innit? kinda thought that I would create a new massive thread with everyone posting five times a day to play!!

anyway sorry

macca (thats one post today hee hee)

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Well, don't think I will be visiting the Arcade very often now. I find it a struggle to do three post a day never mind five.
Oh, well just have to go back to my games on face book.
Such a shame.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Anne, I’m not really sure but this is the way I understand it.

All new members have to have at least 5 posts before they can play the games. This is to help deter Gamers from registering with accyweb. These people are not interested in our local community. All they want is to play the games thus using our bandwidth. We’ve had them in the past. They usually make silly posts within the forums 'to get their count up' and as quick as they post them we remove them. They soon get fed-up and go elsewhere.

Members who have made less than 1000 posts will have to make 5 sensible posts anywhere within the forums before they can play the games but unfortunately this doesn’t include anything goes because posting in that forum doesn’t increase your post count. This is probably to encourage posting. I don’t really know.

Members who have over 1000 posts don’t need to make any posts. They can play at any time.

Anne, you have made 2288 posts so if I’m correct then you shouldn’t have any trouble playing the games. Give it a try and let me know.

:)

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Len can assure you that is not the case, I am not overly bothered about the arcade would rather be out here posting. But I have found that I need to make five posts a day if I want to go into the arcade.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I have more than 1000 posts, but I had to post more than 5 times yesterday :confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Ok, thanks for that. :o
We’ll have to wait and see what the “some other things” are before we can proceed.

:)

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Well, I have less than 1000 posts, so I best get posting!!

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

certainly not the case, just tryed to acess arcade, n no chance unless i done 5 posts it said.:confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I have looked in the arcade a few times, but only played briefly once.
I have just looked again and was amused that on the leaderboard I have a zero score and am placed bottom - just because I looked.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I have noticed, when viewing who is online, that quite a few people are able to go straight to the arcade without posting there 5 A DAY!!
I got to thinking that, maybe the people that donate are the ones that are able to do this. Then as I sat watching, I found this wasn't true either, because people that have not donated were going straight in..... yet I still had to get my 5 A DAY in :confused: Confused.com

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

i havent done 5 posts today and i cant get into arcade....... im with slinky, well confused lol

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Well I am well behind times, I didn't see that thread :confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Mick deleted it and told people off!

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Blimey! and I wasn't involved!! I knew miracles can happen :D:alright:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Has anyone been told yet why certain members can get in without 5 posts and others can't?

Seems that the 1000 post thing has been ruled out if some can and some can't

Doesn't seem quite right when a rule has been put in plce for a certain group but then it doesn't apply to all those in that group

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

i have > 5k Posts and I can't play either without 5 posts.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Well I noticed Lettie was playing earlier, which was why i thought it may be the people that have donated that are allowed.
Then I noticed Royboy was playing, and I looked on his profile and he hadn't posted 5 post's, that was my theory out the window.
I have just checked now and Grego is playing, but she hasn't posted 5 today, but she has donated!! OMG ....... seriously confused lmao.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Perhaps a type of parental control is in operation and you have had your ration this week:)

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I very much doubt that!! I have only had one game today!

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I have to admit that I thought it was a donation thing as I have had no bother getting into the arcade???

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Yeah, I did too, which would have been understandable, but Royboy blew my theory

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

i will have a go tomorrow before I post and let you know my findings !:o

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Won't let me in either and i've had my 5 a day 2 apples 1 pear a banana and a sprout.Am i missing something.

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Yeah... here's a grape for good measures :D:D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I thought Roy was trying to keep the boring sods out of the arcade so they might post something usefull for a change. Then I thought it was boring sods and chavs until I saw that entwisi can't get in.

Now I think it is boring sods, chavs and geeks who need to make 5 posts :p:D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

So which one are you dear?? Boring?? Chav?? or Geek??

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I can play without posting :p:D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Do you think thats because you are an "Accyweb supporter" and have donated:cool::rolleyes:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

well it aint cos i have to make 5 posts.:confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

In that case, why can cashy not?? and why can royboy just go in?? He was in earlier, and I looked on his profile and he had only posted one post today, and that was at 00:00am this morning. But his name is not in bold like he has donated??

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

its certainly got me confused.:confused:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

I reckon the computer has got mistaken identity cashy ..... Royboy got your privileges instead of you :D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Sorry Cashman that was my fault i forgot to alter your status after your donation i do apologize and have now changed them

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

MY god, so my theory was right!!! all day I have worried and panicked and been hyperventilating over that :rolleyes:

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

cheers mick, wasn't annoyed or owt cos i usually gob off more than 5 times a day anyway. just confused.;):D

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

You gob of never:tongueout

Re: 5 posts for arcade??
 

Am still finding it hard work to make 5 posts? without just talking rubbish.

Re: 100, 000 posts for arcade??
 

Find it hard to believe anyone can struggle to post five posts on here. Surely you've got an opinion on local and national goings on even if you agree with everyone else. Or you could do what i did and post the opposite, they love that lol
Who took over from me? was it flashytart?
hey just thought if I hadn't stopped posting the forum would be 100, 000 posts bigger , I was posting a hundred a day and then everyone was arguin against me. I had some good times on here when I first joined, helped me through a difficult time in my life.

If you really can't post five a day then donate , it's not a lot to ask for unlimited access.
