We're not monsters, and we're not reading your PMs, Sab. :) Normal staff don't have that capability, only site admins. And they don't.


RE: Questions about the WBO - Thebeymaster2 - Jul. 05, 2020

I’m thinking about going to a WBO tournament for the first time. Does anyone have advice on what to expect?

Expect a really organized and fun tournament full of nice people.

Basically, when you arrive at the location, you’ll have to register. It’s pretty simple. A bit after that, they will probably do roll call. A bit After that, they will call matches. Just listen for your name!

Let's clarify; you have to register ahead of time on the site. When you arrive, check in with the organizer.


RE: Questions about the WBO - Vtryuga - Jul. 15, 2020

Well one question 🤔. How does one become a moderator? Is it random or there is some selection process?

Not random. There is no formal selection process either. It all depends on our needs at any given time and who we feel might be mature enough, active enough, and have any other valuable qualities to help our the team in more specific areas. Basically, don't call us, we'll call you. Wink

How do you get a blader passport??

Better question is What is a Blader Passport, and why is it no longer extant.

Back when tournaments still had a $5 USD fee associated with each, you could get a Blader Passport for $15 and go to as many tournaments as you wanted for a year for that $15.

When WBO started having issues with its Paypal account, tournament fees were waived, and the concept of a Blader Passport was ended.

Now that the Paypal account functions again, WBO is working on re-implementing tournament fees, although some of the details are still being worked out. It is not certain at this point if the Blader Passport concept will return.

Thank you for that I almost messed up big time


RE: Questions about the WBO - Zeutron - Aug. 23, 2020

Is there a way to tag people with spaces in their usernames?

How much time needs to pass before it is considered necroposting

I think the whole necroposting idea particularly applies to threads that are pointless in reusing such as anime episode thread. Also, do you know how to do it or someone who could tell me?

Pretty sure it's the same as normal. BuilderROB tagged me a couple times in testing and discussion threads.

Also, say this thread stopped being used (idk why) for, like 3 years. Is that necroposting or do we open a new thread

And last, how do you get the gif to show the actual gif and not the link when you put it in your signature?

Like this:

Code:
@"USER NAME"

You put " marks between the username.

Thank you, that’s really helpful.


RE: Questions about the WBO - 6Jupiter5 - Aug. 23, 2020

I asked this before but nobody answered so how do you add a poll to your threads?

When you start a thread there should be a poll button on the bottom near the post thread button just click on it.
I believe you can only do this when first creating a thread though so be sure of the information in it.

Here’s a question. How does the WBO make money for tournament prizes?
