Here is a complete description of all the post statuses you can see on the left side of an user's thread/reply:
First off, you can find the user's name, in
bold at the top of the whole section. It is the name of the person, if you haven't realized already.
After that, you can see the user title of the person. Anything with a fantasy name, such as Imp, Orc or even Satan means that the person is a regular member. A moderator can edit and reorganize posts in his own forum section, a supreme moderator can do those tasks in all of the forums at Zelaron, and finally, an Administrator has complete control over the entire board.
After the user titles, you can see some colored dots. Any blue ones means that the person is a regular member. As the blue dots have filled up the bar completely, the user will gain a new user title, up to 2000 posts, when the user can pick his or her own title. Red dots means that the user is a moderator, but do not mix them up with the flattened red dots, which would belong to an administrator. Purple dots belongs to clan moderators, and finally, the unique metal dots belongs to the forum owner.
Posts: The number of new threads and replies the user has posted.
Level: Your current level. The level is a way to measure a person's actual activity. Someone spamming a lot will get a high level, since that is sadly the only way to measure activity right now.
HP: The higher your level is, the more hit points you will get. If a moderator would see that you did something useful, you SHOULD incease the person's MP, but if you see a completely useless post outside the spam forum, please lower the HP. Do not change the HP amount until you see any of the above. Anyone with an empty bar should also have the level kept at 0.
MA: The MA means Magic Aura, and could also be called Mana. Just like HP, the bar increases with your level. Feel free to play with this bar as much as you want.
PP: Power Points. An user with influence should have a high amount. If a moderator thinks the amount of PP's is a bit too high for the user, or vice versa, he or she can change them to a more suitable level.
AP: Anger Percentage. Just like Power Points, this should be a measurement of the user's agression. Moderators, please do not change this amount with more than 10% each time. A high PP amount would usually mean that the user would be most likely to flame any kinds of suggestions as soon as he or she gets the chance to.
Exp: The experience bar shows how active you are. Not posting in a long time will lower it, while having a good "per day" post count will increase it. Once it reaches 100%, you may proceed to the
Update Stats section, which can be found in the welcome panel at the forum index. By clicking on that link, the maximum level of your status bars will increase, but you must remember to click on it once each time you gain a level. If you forget to do so, your chance to get more HP, MA and PP's will be lost forever.
Element: In the
User Control Panel, proceed to the Edit Profile section to pick your favourite element from the menu in the bottom. Depending on what you choose, your stats will be affected once you gain a level.
Gold: The official Zelaron currency, which can be used for buying items in the
Item Shop. Please do not leave personal messages here.
Weapon: The sword, spear or bow you have decided to buy for your hard-earned gold.
Armor: Protect yourself against evil flamers with a two-inch thick steel platemail.
Item: Your beloved item. No penguins allowed.
