Ugh.

I just realized I’ve only visited this site, like, 3 times, because I always keep it open in my browser.

I would hesitate from making a topic about a video that doesn’t belong to you in the creative content category. It is ‘creative content’, after all .

But, if you want to post that video on a topic, then the video must not be: A promotion or advertisement for a project (youtube channels, podcasts, auditions for stop motion voice actors), or a video review (of any kind, Moc reviews included). As only Masters can post those types of videos.

The video must also be on-topic (so, relevant to the subject matter of the topic).

---

If you’re wondering what kinds of videos you can post as a Protector, then that would be: stop motions, music videos, and most other kinds of videos that you’ve created.

Thanks for the question!

If you lose master you don’t have to start ALL over again. And Master isn’t just a title. You become a basically unofficial mod, just without the power to close topics and some other things. Master is a responsibility. If you’re not around then you don’t deserve that much responsibility and power.

Nut it would take less for a ex-Master to regain it then for me to reach it. And you’d have to be inactive for a long time to loose it.

I know “Master” is a rank for the highly-dedicated members of the boards, and I understand and highly respect that. However, if a highly-dedicated member just makes a tiny screw-up, (like not reading posts for a week because of vacation, studying for finals, or a family emergency,)

“SCREW YOU! You have to start all over again to claim the rank you spent your hard-earned time for due to a tiny screw-up that you’ve made this week!”

I just came back to the boards after Ten Months quite a bit of time, and I’m getting pretty close to the Master Rank. I don’t think it takes a killer amount of time to get to, just coming back to the boards often. When it comes to the “Not visiting”, I’m guessing that most members who are Masters would have some sort of interaction to the internet during their vacation. It is two weeks after all.

@TawaOfFire

My other point, is that members can’t show content that they worked so hard on…

UNLESS IF THEY ARE MASTERS.

I see this as a way to give the Masters a pretty nice perf for their constant visiting.

You become a basically unofficial mod,

Except it’s missing the actually cool part. The custom title.

Also that’s quite an overstatement.

Okay then, whats the deal with “Beta Tester” and “First Flag” things that show up next to people’s names?

Beta Tester is a special title beta testers got.

First Flag is a title you can get for flagging a post.

“Screw you and the BIONICLE documentary trailer you’ve worked so hard on. The community can’t see your hard-earned work because you’re not a master! Now you have to spend every week of your life trying to earn and retain the rank of Master, and you know what? Screw your life too. We’ll take that away from you too because you need to read 50% of EVERY post that will ever be posted EVERY month so you can show off the trailer of a documentary you’ve already spent 3 years of your life creating.”

This is why I’m disappointed with the rank of “Master.” I wanted to blow off a little steam from the beginning when I joined the boards, so this is the result.

I very much agree with this

How come members can’t show what they’ve made in forms of videos if they aren’t masters?
I’m sorry but this is one of the most unfair and stupid rules ever.

No, they can still post videos. Just not video reviews, if I’m not mistaken.

They can’t postTheir own Video reviews and anything that could look like self promotion.(i.e. Games, Casting Calls, etc)

I think this is a way to prevent “Hey! This is My channel it is the Best thing ever and Bye [Leaves, never comes back to Boards]” topics.

I think this is a way to prevent “Hey! This is My channel it is the Best thing ever and Bye [Leaves, never comes back to Boards]” topics.

This is precisely why that rule exists. As for advertising your own personal media project (which I myself beleive is allowed), I think I’m gonna let @Mesonak, @IllustriousVar or @Kahi handle this.
