Hey there.  I made my account on here a while ago but I never really got into being super active.  I noticed that you need to be a certain rank in order to download certain mods, and in order to do that you need to get votes.  Could someone explain how that whole system works?  How do I get votes?  Who gives them?  How many do I need to be promoted?  Thanks in advance!`

I'm awful at explaining things so I'll link the official answer to your question here
https://www.gunetwork.org/t1871-promotions-how-to-get-mod-access-locked

basically, votes are given by other members who enjoy your posts, whether thats because they find it funny, cool, helpful Etc, once you've been active and recieved a bit of rep (I would say 7) the devs will consider you for promotion.

It should be noted that being promoted shouldn't be your top priority, we are all (well most of us ) really nice here and speaking of which.

To obtain the special access is relatively easy:

Start or join in discussions, post some screenshots and help a fellow member out wherever you can.

Just put effort in your posts and being active on a daily basis will get you far.

Though remember the best mods are in the public section, it's only a rumor that the private section is a treasure cove. You'll find a lot more mods in the public section.

Remember: Stay Active and be Patient.

@Zetrax Hey there and welcome to GUN and be sure to enjoy your time here, looks like the other guys explained the system here. Don't worry tho, the best mods are actually public.

Ok, thank you all very much! So far, it looks like there is quite a strong community presence and I look forward to getting involved. Also sorry about posting in the wrong section.
