Users will automatically be promoted into their new user group within an hour after attaining the requirements.

Escalate Ability = This allows you to escalate a support thread into a support ticket. This will copy all the thread information into a support ticket and close the thread. The user will also be notified that it was escalated with a link to the ticket.

AIP = Account Information Panel, this gives information about the poster's hosting account including if they're suspended, and why. This will assist in helping members who post questions.

Wow, this is really truly awesome!

Looks nice, however, I think the post count requirement to escalate tickets should be lowered.

That's pretty generous of you Corey. Thank you for everything you do for us lowly users of X10hosting.

On behalf of Corey, you're welcome.

This sounds great! Hope that my account qualifies for something nice! I'll have to see tomorrow morning I guess. Kudos to Corey.

[garrettroyce]

Quick question, do the old ranks stay until you've accomplished a new rank?

From Corey's outline, you'll be a 'Forum Addict' until you reach the proper reputation levels. That's the only thing holding you back at this time (unless you have a lot of rep =p).

I thought that my rep was a bit low, as I didn't get repped too often except in the tech forum. None the less I'm fine with anything really. Can't ask for too much out of free :P

This is true. Maybe with this new system people will start using the reputation system more correctly and you might get some more ;).
