Re: New RCT*Mart Frequent Shopper Program

**********MEMORANDUM**********

We're pleased to announce the new RCT*Mart Frequent Shopper Program which is being rolled out to our various store locations around the country. Store managers should have already received instructions and hanging signs to post around their stores for increased visibility of our first-ever member rewards program.

The goal of our Frequent Shopper Program is to provide members with forum enhancements depending on the level of their participation on the site. Below is a breakdown of the different levels of shopper recognition, along with the bonuses each ranking provides.

Please note, the forums are set up to automatically 'promote' you from one group to the next as you post. However, it can only promote you one group at a time. So while some of you may have enough posts at the present time to qualify for higher ranks, the system will only promote you one level each time you post. So if you have 220 posts, to advance from 'Window Shopper' to 'Frequent Shopper' you'd need to post 3 more times: the first time you'll promote to 'New Shopper,' the second time to 'Regular Shopper' and the third time to 'Frequent Shopper.'

I believe when you get 100 posts.

Acutally Bubby you should be able to now..it is set to 50 posts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Bubby826]

Did you just do this NOW! Thank You! This site rocks! But I would like to know what mass pms are....

[rct2nut]

No it has been set to 50 all along

Mass pms are when you can send to more then just one member at a time. If you notice your pm box when you create a new pm you will see a box that you can put several names in. it is a blind carbon copy like in email. the only thing is becareful and dont abuse it. Do not use it to send out advertisements for something you may have posted. This is against TOS and will cause you to get warned if found out.

D'oh - why am I always last to see cool topics like this?

I think the idea for this system is pretty good, and I agree with most of the limits you've set up there. My only concern personally is the amount of PM storage; right now my inbox isn't all that full, but it's just a matter of time really - especially with new projects etc. In special cases, will the management consider allowing an extention to PM storage (provided it really is necessary)?

Cheers guys!

I think that we should be able to also get some more pm storage if we donate a few bucks like I will donate 3 bucks to get maximum pm storage privileges since I pm a lot and don't want to have to delete them so soon after I receive them. Anyways I am glad to have found this topic to see what each level has.

Given that any change to the group will affect all members of that group, we'd be hesitant to make any DRASTIC changes, but if people are finding that they don't have enough room, we'll be happy to address the issue.

Remember, your SENT ITEMS count toward the # of posts you're allowed to store, so if you don't need them, delete all your Sent Items regularly.
