RE: Questions about the WBO - Janstarblast - Feb. 20, 2013
It wouldn't matter even if it stays like that, haha!
As I said earlier(and was seconded by Insomniac.), its not affecting the PM system, but just makes things look odd...

Yeah , I know , haha.
I was just wondering how to expect the PM system to act >.<

It would apparently be too much work to go and find out who the recipients within that period were, unfortunately.

Ah, a pity - but at least it'll be able to remember this period of my life on the WBO with ease , haha .
Plus, I'm sure I can remember who I sent what to.
RE: Questions about the WBO - [deleted] - Feb. 22, 2013
Okay, so what's the deal with the WBO Passport? Honestly we meed to pay for a passport to enter tournaments or pay $5 to play.
Also, is Toys on Fire Ottawa a WBO tournament?
I honestly feel like this is the BEGA league sometimes. And if you don't know what the BEGA league is, you aren't a Beyblader.
RE: Questions about the WBO - Kai-V - Feb. 22, 2013
Yes, everyone here is working on the site for free in their own free time, so it would be unreasonable to expect one person to pay the monthly hosting fee as well as the numerous domain names out of their own pocket.
At the moment no, Toys On Fire's tournaments are not associated with the World Beyblade Organization.

Yeah man they just pull site hosting, service, upgrade fees for a gigantic forum and the prizes for competitions and reimbursements to hosts and all the other neat stuff they're working on and do every so often out of their bey-spirit powered infinity wallets and then go to sleep on piles of children's spinning top site revenue money after driving home in their children's spinning top site revenue funded ferrari's. That's when they aren't taking holidays in the children's spinning top site revenue funded private jetline or out on the children's spinning top site revenue funded cruise liner. Also, the ETA on the children's spinning top site revenue funded ICBM's and private army equipment is about 2 years, it's easy to get stuff fast tracked with all of that children's spinning top site revenue they embezzle and soon it'll be world domination through children's spinning top site revenue. There's even been enough to expand the Justice 5 aka the Committee to the Justice 6 recently. I'm not supposed to spoil the mystery but Blader DJ's real identity is actually Boris, who was transported to the real world with proprietary technology, the research for which was funded entirely though children's spinning top site revenue.
RE: Questions about the WBO - [deleted] - Feb. 22, 2013
I meant the whole passport ide, the site looks pretty sloppy and sketchy (not somewhere I'd like to send $10 too) because it's just a forum.
But why do you need to buy some "passport" to play? I'd prefer either free tournaments or just pay to enter. Then it wouldn't feel like you're apart of some league (mind you that league is unofficial, so it means nothing) and it doesn't exempt you from payin anyways.
It seems like another item you need to bring to the tournament.

It goes to the jet liners etc and definitely not those things in the first sentence of my post which are funded as I said by magic bey-spirit purses, mhmmm and it's certainly a physical object that you have to bring to tournaments (otherwise not only can you not play but your beyspirit and any bitbeast(s) are stripped from you and given to Boris himself). Good research work there. How else could we have afforded to bring Boris into the real world?
But hey if you don't like paying feel free to go to hasbro's great official tournaments when they're run, those are real great, aside from the age limit, clueless reps/judges, variable rules (including sometimes uncustomized only etc) and the stadiums they use which result in an extremely dull, stamina-dominated metagame, amongst other things!

Nah, I'll stick to local tournaments. I guess that spending $10 a year to not have any hosted tournaments in my area is cheaper than paying $5 per tournament.
The thigs you write are the reason people leave the WBO by the way.
RE: Questions about the WBO - Synth - Feb. 22, 2013
You'll never understand Sarcasm... *Face Desk*
Did you even read the first paragraph of the Passport Page?:
Quote:To enter most WBO tournaments, you will be asked to pay an entrance fee to help recover costs and to help the WBO keep running tournaments and cool contests! However, you can completely bypass all entry fees if you have a Blader Passport!
Not only that, You'll be able to join some exclusive things, like Giveaways and what not. Read before asking,
RE: Questions about the WBO - Kai-V - Feb. 22, 2013
Do you read what you write ? Nowhere is it written that you have to purchase a Blader Passport to participate in our tournaments : you can also just pay the five-dollar entry fee everytime. However, if you are in an area where there are many events, then it is much more worth it to only pay ten dollars for the whole year. Either way, it is totally up to you, and almost everything th!nk has written was obvious sarcasm anyway, so I do not know what your point about "The thigs you write are the reason people leave the WBO by the way." hah. Really, if you come here just to get Beyblades but that you otherwise hate the whole site, I have no idea why you must remain here right now.
RE: Questions about the WBO - BOT_222_WBO - Feb. 22, 2013
Where can I get a Blader Passport than buying at the Internet?
RE: Questions about the WBO - th!nk - Feb. 22, 2013
@BlackOutTornado: They can be purchased at WBO events, that and online are the only ways possible currently.

Fine by me, I mean, I had to host a tournament in my area to get enough people together and get one going (or more, for the benefit of others in my area - I've never been big on competition, and I must give major credit to the local team (who I think are inactive now) for getting some cohesion in the community to make it happen) but if you can get to tournaments without the WBO then more power to you, I mean hey, you gotta enjoy that kinda thing before the children's spinning top site revenue funded New World Order takes over, cos then it'll be modest entry fees just for picking up a launcher!
'most anyone with a sense of humour can take a step back and laugh my posts off, 'specially if I'm actually responding to their questions, which is usually the case. Lighten up man, it'll do you some good.

I know both Ultra and I are into plastics but trust me, we're not the same person.
They were the most suitable candidates for the job. They were all active within those forums, showed excellent knowledge of the rules, actively reported rulebreaking posts, and were great examples of good behaviour (well, at least for a long enough time before their promotion to show they could be trusted and were reliable).
RE: Questions about the WBO - BOT_222_WBO - Feb. 22, 2013

RE: Questions about the WBO - zeneo - Feb. 23, 2013
@[deleted]-I don't understand why you have so much problem with the WBO's ingeniously crafted passport system-
On 26th May 2012,I paid US$10-about 550 Indian Rupees.
Upto today-I've participated in about 20 official WBO tournaments.
Imagine if I had to pay $5 for each of the 20 tournaments-that would be 100 USD-something I couldn't certainly afford.
Just recently,I won a Giveaway-A bey twice the amount of the passport I purchased.
So it's a good option to buy a Passport.If you still don't like it,well....

How Do You Get Faces And Become a Moderator?
RE: Questions about the WBO - Kai-V - Feb. 24, 2013
(Feb. 24, 2013 6:18 AM)Terrell J. Wrote: How Do You Get Faces And Become a Moderator?
Hello,
For the first question, the FAQ and the Face Collection pages in the Help section will definitely give you answers.
As for your second question, being a very good Member who follows the Rules well and reports bad posts properly helps, but you should generally know that it is the Committee who chooses Moderators, and that will only be done if there is a need for new staff and if you seem really fit for the job. Usually, "Don't try too hard" is the best advice we can give you.

RE: Questions about the WBO - zeneo - Feb. 24, 2013
This has been happening everyday-people make accounts and threads for example-Selling Fresh CVs,blah,blah,blah.
That's one point-the WBO is being a victim of spam.
can't something be done to stop it,cause usually,they just copy-paste the same thing.
Also,those users get banned-and like everyday they make accounts-that makes it about 360 useless accounts.So it would be worthless reaching 80k+ users.
Can't anything be done?
RE: Questions about the WBO - Tri - Feb. 24, 2013
Spam BOTS, as far as I know can't be rid of completely. You can install a bunch of plugins for the site they still get through.
RE: Questions about the WBO - Kai-V - Feb. 24, 2013
We are too big to avoid attention now, hah. As Tri (o
)o mentioned, we already have a lot of plugins to try and counter some of those account creations, but it is something that nobody can ever just get rid of, in our circumstances.
RE: Questions about the WBO - BeybladePants11 - Feb. 24, 2013
When someones username is grey does it mean that they have been given a warning, and banned for a certain period of time?
