A Guide for New Members and Guests

A Guide for New Members and Guests at Bond and Beyond

Bond and Beyond is a great place to have uncensored, though respectful discussion on the world of James Bond… and Beyond. The new admin, Fort Knox, wants to outline some things about your new forum.

1. The Admin Account - Fort Knox
Fort Knox is a shared account between members Hilly and Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. While Hilly will serve as the main showrunner, in the event he is temporarily unavailable, M.KKBB will have access to all forum motion back end. This is to avoid having an absent ‘founder’ who has more powers than the standard admin.

Should you require to contact one of us privately, do so to their personal accounts (Hilly/Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) as messages will be read by both on the Fort Knox account.

2. Ranking System - What does it mean?
There’s a hierarchy for members, with one’s ‘rank’ listed under their avatar.

50 Posts - Universal Exports employee.
100 Posts - Cipher Clerk
500 Posts - Q Branch Technician
1000 Posts - Head of Station
1500 Posts - Agent
4500 Posts - 00 Agent
Moderator - Chief of Staff

You may have noticed the locked Blades Club forum in the ‘Beyond’ section. Once you reach 500 posts at Bond and Beyond, you qualify for access to the section, dependent on the quality of your previous posts. Your membership will be decided on by the current members of Blades.

3. Avatars
Avatars are a great way to give yourself an online identity so to easily recognise your posts in threads. There are no boundaries as to what your avatar can be, however we do ask that it:

a) you choose/upload one as soon as possible.
b) stays within 150pixels in width and 150pixels in height. The file can be no larger than 64kb. Should you require a larger avatar file, you can link it to a filehost. NOTE: The forum should resize any upload automatically, however, should it fail to, you will need to do it manually, or pick a different image.

If you have yet to assign yourself an avatar, Fort Knox may choose one on your behalf. This is to ensure the neatness of the forum on the main page.

5. Emails
Please ensure Bond and Beyond emails are marked as safe/trusted sender. If you haven't received communication with us (i.e. newsletters, pm notifications, password reset links, etc.), check your junk/spam folders and again, mark us as safe.

6. First Posts

Perhaps politely recommended as a new member to introduce yourself in the new member thread. New, possibly dubious accounts, have leapt in with one post only to flog things. We're not a bad bunch.
