Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  Why are so many people trusted around here?

Not being rude i'm just suspicious...

  Congratz for being a trusted member oldmanrob!!

  Do not feel offended, EL.

  If someone had told me that you weren't a trusted member, I wouldn't have believed him, but I guess I have to believe my own eyes...

...I fixed that Oldmanrob. When I added trusted members here, I dunno how I forgot you. I pretty basically took all the top names from designers list but dunno how I didn't remember you. I hope you can forgive me D:

And seriously you make the whole "title" too dramatic. In any other game people congratz people for getting it, but it really doesn't have any meaning. I guess I should I named it something else than trusted when telling the "trusted" idea to JP, to not make it so important sounding.

  I'm 2 years and 10 days on BL and not a TM. So prabably being or not being (sounds like Hamlet) a TM isn't a question of time you are here.

  Who turned CamoDragon in trusted member? JP or EL? Sorry, but I think the most respected members of Blockoban being against it. Sorry, but I think the most respected members of Blockoban being against this decision. How a guy who does not even have a week of BL can be a trusted member?

  13 years old isn't so young, I'm only 16 years old.
I just hope we will keep our wonderful community.

  13 year olds should be playing starcraft 2 not blockoaban camo, u could move to korea and make bank

  i solved 211 officials so far, it's been like this for 2 weeks

and i think 5-8 new levels a day is too much, i can't keep up sometimes. i'm glad there's almost 2700 levels but that's just too much.

  Whats all this drama about... seems like Camo was made a trusted member to see if that would allow him to bypass the upload 1 level a day thing... maybe im far off... uh camo did you say you solved all the levels before becoming a member or something? (I solved almost all the official before becoming a member) was so annoying to resolve.

  Aowyn, welcome to our club!

  A Big Congratulations to Aowyn for the Archery Award!!!


@ gundu It's a shame that you will miss out on so much knowledge and entertainment in your life by refusing to read. And using that time to post rude remarks.

  Bah idk why you guys make the trusted thing look more dramatic tham it is. I can't see why CD would edit his accepted levels for no reason, and at least I don't have to kep recategorizing them after your comments lol.

  I'm really curious but, My curiousity don't even want to read all these messages :O

(Don't know why?)

Well, Good luck for reading this, I can't, That's probably why I almost never finished to read a book... Too long D:

  I have to voice my opinion on this subject. I didn't expect you to become a trusted member either. I want to echo what TM said that trust takes a matter of time. You may prove to be one of the best members in this community. But that remains to be seen. As of right now I am taken back a little bit by your somewhat cocky attitude and assurance that this would have been inevitable. Patience is a virtue, trust needs to be earned, and I believe that instant gratification is really not in the best interest of anyone.
When I started on this site, I waited nine days for my first edited level be seen again. No offense to Elizea, because part of that was the fact that I did not know how to call an administrator. I'm not sure what his relationship and special interest in this whole episode is. I was under the impression that until you became a registered member on the site, you were unable to post messages or contact other members, so the personal familiarity somewhat eludes me.
It was months before the rest of us were deemed trustworthy. And I felt very honored, when the time came that I was asked to be an administrator. And I have the utmost respect for JP and Elizea, and all the other administrators trusted members.
Personally I have nothing to gain either way by the decision to place you in the same group. My only concern is with the high integrity that we've managed to achieve on this site and I don't want to see it compromised in any way. No personal offense meant or intended.
Now to answer your question on what being a trusted member allows you to do. What being trusted means is that you have the opportunity to sign on and edit any of your own personal levels, but does not give you the ability to edit for anyone else, unless you are listed as coeditor on that particular level. If you do edit a level, and it affects the outcome of a final score or changes the number of moves that it takes to complete a level, please call for an administrator to verify and adjust the scores.
Again, let me state the fact that I mean no personal offense and hope that none is taken, because I look forward to working with you in the future. But I feel it my duty as a member of this community to let everyone know how I feel and how much I respect this site and my position.

  But can do a level like PA?

  hey that's my initials, CD, lol. well let me say that i just turned 19 and i still can't make a hard level like OMG, murat, or toughman.

  Oh, so that's it, CD ... lol!

  I believe 'trust' is a big word and is gained over time and it is really not a matter of some impersonnal exchange of e-mails. However, CD has gained the benefit of the doubt at least from my part and therefore would also like to welcome him on this small community. I have to agree with PA however, that 13yrs is just too young for what you represent and there is a skepticism (not disbelief but skepticism). Should this be the case however, mark my words when i say, you will npt stay too long here as I expect NASA to find you and recruit you....hehe. I am kidding and I do apologize for the humor CD. I have also read ur comments and to be honest most of them are convincing. Keep it rolling and let's c where that take us.
As for the real Trusted Member honour all I can say is Welcome and Use it wisely. No offense CD, you may be the best and most talented, skillful, remarkable, etc person ever, but I am 100% against this decision to smn who is only a member for 2 days. On a personal level it is amazing and WTG CD but on the community end I am disappointed. I believe a little more time was all we needed to really trust CD and then give a very diservable honour. It is quite unfair, after all, to players like LMR, GIS, JOE, etc who have been active and are all willing to contribute - maybe not with 800 lvls within a few weeks - but with their ongoing work and effort. We have reached a level that u bcome a Trusted Member bfore actually being consider a Member. I may have crossed the line here but had to say things exactly how I feel them.

  Dang! Congrats on becoming trusted after just a few days! xP

  CamoDragoon made a new record here by getting trusted in a game in just 2 days. Congratulations =]

...yeh, I guess I don't have to give any reasons for that decision.

  CD, I am confirming to all that I have read all the comments. Thanks for the explanation. No offense, but I cant believe you're 13 years old (lol). And just one more question: How come I discovered your name? I dont understand ... O_o

  i can't wait to see them

  In that case I guess I will keep uploading then.

EDIT: I think Elizea's theory is correct, just uploaded Junction and Thin Transfer at the same time and it wouldn't let me.

  So many new levels, where do I going to find the time for it. XD

  CamoDragoon, you don't have any message or BB-uploading privileges. There is no message limit for new members.

About the level uploading thing, I guess the New Member limitation works so that if the level you made gets accepted, it allows you to upload more, but only one can be unevaluated at the time (if it won't take over that one day of course), or at least that is my theory. I can't find any other explanation.

Don't you guys really remember the times I was an admin? As I was already fast in evaluating back then. I was just interested of CamoDragoons levels (and surprised how he can upload them).

800 kids/easy levels doesn't sound that much to me if you remember the fact that they were created in a year (that's about 3 levels each day). But as you said you also made 150 JG2 levels... yah.

Yeh, I actually tried to remove the New member limitation by limiting you to 0 level uploads each week and then delimit but it didn't work. I guess JP could remove the limitation, you can try PMing him =]. It is not meant for people like you anyways^^

  I love the way each of you guys can see different ways to solve lvls., and challenge me to think out of the box I was in. Especially, on my lvls where I have a concept and solution already. Thx.

  Thank you for the explanation CD.I want you to feel assured that neither PA or myself hold any ill feelings against you or any player. And I would like to welcome you officially to Blockoban. And hope that you continue to become a welcome asset to the game. As a BlockoBan family We all respect the purity and competition of this game, and really want to keep it that way. That's why we may have seemed a little overzealous in finding out you were. None of us want this game to become contaminated like the majority of the Internet is. This is a refuge and our home away from home. And we are proud to protect our territory.
I'm sure that you will make many new friends, myself included, now that you're an official member. And I'm looking forward to working with you and seeing your submissions in the future. So keep up the good work.

  Ahh, I see why oldmtnguy has his name like that now. xD

  Well, there are four categories (Kids, Easy, Normal, Hard), that might be why. :/
