How does one get promoted in the Baldurs Gate forums?

A lot of likes, insightfuls and agrees?

    Only a forum moderator can make use of the "Promote" reaction. It's worth +10 cool points (which are calculated separately from your other points and have no in-game effect).

    O_o

    +10 cool points?

    That's almost as good as +12 hackmaster.

    The great EYE (of the moderator) is ever watchful.

    HAHAHA hell no. Check out my profile page. I probably hold the record for most positive reactions without a single Promote.

    Also, in case you didn't get it yet from the vagueness of the responses here; it just means a moderator really liked your post. That is all it means.

    Yay...I'm the proud owner of a promote. Then again, the work I did on fixing the BAM files to enable the hardware cursor for Vista users was worth 50 promotes IMHO ;)

    It seems the easiest way to get a promote is be a moderator, beta tester, or team member, probably because if you're one of those thinks you're more likely to be making the kinds of posts that typically get Promoted (such as announcements, updates, etc.).

    You are definitely beating me there.

    Basically, it's what mlnevese said. You can get one if a moderator or BGEE Team Member/admin feels like promoting something. I got a couple from EE Keeper. I like to think of them as post-it notes, but not actually pinning a topic. A topic is not a sticky, but the particular promoted post will appear higher in the Best Of section.

    I have ten. Not even sure where they all came from.

    Edit: it seems most of them came from different posts in the Fanart competition.

    Good for you @Troodon80

    I'm still waiting for my self to post that "magic" post. :-)
  • Troodon80Troodon80 Member, Developer Posts: 4,110
    @SamuelVarg, post a really nice mod (that, coincidentally, a 'mod' would like to promote), or make some really useful software (take over one of the semi-active projects and start releasing updated versions). That's probably the best chance you have. Or 'host' another fanart competition with permission from the admins.

    Those are the only few suggestions I have for that magic post :).
