			<title><![CDATA[Spooks Forum Changes]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[As you might have noticed I've made some subtle changes to the forum today in order to start preparing for a big upgrade to the forum software we run.<br />
<br />
Sadly because of the new software we're going to have to say goodbye to some features of the forum because they won't be compatible. But on the upside we'll be getting some new features too. It is essential we upgrade as soon as possible for security reasons. Here are some details of the changes made and the stuff that's coming:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Country Flags</span> - As of now this feature has been turned off because it won't be compatible with the new version of the software. It <span style="font-weight: bold;">will</span> return one day.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rotating Header Images</span> - They're not gone yet but they'll be going as soon as the software is upgrade. The reason behind this change is page-load, randomly selecting an image each time someone loads a page puts unnecessary strain on the server. The new static header image will feature the 3 main characters of the latest aired series, so it will be Harry, Ruth &amp; Lucas.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Spy Game</span> - This will be something new when the software is upgraded, hopefully making the dry spell a lot better. It's a little game I created that involves you becoming a "spy" and joining an agency and completing missions to earn points for your agency. You can also recruit new people for your agency and blow the cover of enemy agents so they can no longer compete in the game. I'm hoping this makes up for the country flags.<br />
<br />
I can't say exactly when the big change will happen, but when it does the forum will be down for a good few hours at least. There's a lot of stuff I need to work on to bring us up to speed. <br />
<br />
Lookout for announcements about the upgrade in the coming weeks.]]></description>

Please read it over and make sure you know EXACTLY what you're doing. The main change is that you MUST now use the new spoiler tag format which includes the series number associated with the spoiler.<br />
<br />
The new policy is effective immediately and not using the new format where appropriate will result in a warning.<br />

Please use this thread for questions about the policy and I will do my best to answer them.<br />

New Shortcut Icon<br />

			<description><![CDATA[SF members have ranks based on their post count and other factors, so the more you contribute and take part in discussion, the higher your rank will become. Here's a list of the ranks and the requirements for being promoted:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Recruit</span></span> - 0 posts (default for new users)<br />
<span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Junior Officer</span></span> - 20 posts<br />
<span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Officer</span></span> - 50 posts<br />
<span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Senior Officer</span></span> - 150 posts<br />
<span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Executive Officer</span></span> - 500 posts<br />
<span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Section Chief</span></span> - 1000 posts, 5 +rep and member for 6 months<br />
<span style="color: #FFA500;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Legend</span></span> - 5000 posts, 15 +rep and member for 1 year<br />
<br />
The following are special ranks which cannot be gained through posting:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Spook</span> - Reserved for subscribers (£5 per year, see "Become a Spook" link)<br />
<span style="color: #A9A9A9;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Exile</span></span> - Banned member<br />
<span style="color: #FF0000;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Moderator</span></span> - Staff member, helps to run SF<br />
<span style="color: #32CD32;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Administrator</span></span> - Staff member, owns and runs SF<br />
<br />
As time goes on and members have increasingly large post counts, the requirements for each rank may change and some new ones may be added.<br />
<br />
Hope this clears things up for those of you who have been puzzled by ranks and what it takes to gain them.]]></description>
