On the forums I noticed how different users had status'. From what I have put together is that your status depends on the amount of posts you made. They go from New Member - Junior Member - Full Member - Senior Member - God - Administrator. However I've noticed some members are VIP's or Banned. What I'm curious about is how a member becomes a VIP or gets banned. Just curious.

Okay, this is hilarious: one guy crudely drew on a piece of paper and claimed it to be the first television broadcast ever; I don't think that's why he got banned, but I believe he continued with shenanigans like that.

There was a fairly popular user named ObscurusDoom who was banned... not sure why.

I believe you get the 'VIP' status by performing article maintenance.

Yea, looks like there's about 3 total members who were banned. User lostmediafan was the one who posted the "first tv broadcast ever". There was another user called exprezz who got banned for apparently making a disruption in the discord. ObscurusDoom I also have no clue why they were banned.

"New Member" to "God" is really just message count. "VIP" is for "Supporters" (of Patreon) and "Volunteers" (people who help out with the wiki's maintenance and contribute with good articles). "Global Moderator" and "Administrator" are wiki staff and "Banned" needs no introduction.
