What Do YOU Consider a 'Veteran' on GameSpot?

a vet is someone who is atleast level 38 with atleast 20,000 posts.

A combination of all three....none of them alone.

double_decker and fastesttruck would like to have a word with you. :P But... seeing as he has been here way longer, seen all the ups and downs,then I guess yeah he would be one.

A true veteran has been active for at least 4 years, IMO.MAILER_DAEMON

I concur that the word concur is cool. 8)

I concur with your concurrence. I suppose you might say... I came, I saw, I concurred.

:lol:......:|

Someone who can balance a lemon on their head and stand on one foot while singing Snooker Loopy by Chaz and Dave.

I laugh at my own jokes too sometimes. :P

Why someone wouldnt laugh at their own jokes?

Me...a legend in my own posting time.

A combination of all three.

-Not just levels, because of moderations.

-Not just posts, because you can spam all you want and get a high post count (see: RC)

-Not just years, as accounts could have been made 5 years ago that hasn't had any activity in that same span.

I mostly see a vet as someone who has been here for over 3 years, has been pretty active and posted during that time, and over level 30. The level isn't as important though.

Someone whose served in the military, i.e me:)

anybody higher than lvl 35 is a vet

anyone higher than 25 is almost vet

Where's the fourth poll option of "a combination of the first 3 options". lol

See, someone can have a ton of garbage posts that are just like "lol that was funny" and a huge post count, but I don't consider them a veteran.

Someone can have a join date of 1740, but no posts, so I don't consider that a veteran.

And finally, someone can be a pretty high level with a relatively low post count (I think I've seen people with similar levels to me and significantly less posts, unless I'm just remembering wrong), so again...

I consider a combo of all 3 options to make someone a veteran. A good size post count (probably like 4-5000 or more shows you've been around a while), a good level, (25 or more), and a join date of at least 4 or 5 years ago.

How do you get a Bob Ross? I've got no emblems and I want a Bob Ross.jimmyjammer69

the OT is still real-life .....

there is no veteran in real-life

I go by join date and how much that person seems to contribute and what quality their contributions are. All other factors are fairly meaningless.

post count and date joined.

vets are users that help sick animals, silly!Allicrombie

I don't think it would be a good thing to be considered a vet on a forum...>_>

nothing gamespot isn't a war.

[QUOTE="MistressMinako"][QUOTE="Allicrombie"]vets are users that help sick animals, silly!Teenaged

just by knowing how to navigate around the forums, and be able to post topics in the appropriate forums gets a veteran status to me,,,who cares how many posts and levels you have

A mix of all 3

uh...

[QUOTE="bangell99"]

Level 30+, or 10,000+ posts.

th3warr1or

Haha, I am level 31 (99%), but my post count isn't even halfway there. :( I consider a vet on GS to have:

1. Been a member for 3+ years

2. Aquire 20,000+ posts

3. Be level 40+

A person with a high post count, and a high level.
