    1. http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/Board:The_Knights_Of_Comeonbanus

    2. Icon: Used by a small number of members of Lolocaust. It caused hurt and upset to certain members of an organisation. It's rarely if at all used.

    3. Moderator: If you have to ask...

    Wiki page for Comeonbanus is here.

    You become a mod by constantly nagging one of the administrators with such phrases as "can I be a mod yet?!?!". :)
    Seriously though, the best thing is not to ask about it and be a good contributor on boards and keep your nose clean, sunshine.

    The stars denote the usergroup and postcount of a user. The red stars you might see are people who subscribe to the site. More info here.

    I don't think anyone has no stars. I'm pretty sure everyone starts off with one.

    If you see them again link their profile here and we'll have a look. Don't think I've ever seen a poster with no stars.

    If you come across that user again, post the name here. I don't think I've seen anyone without stars (not that I have been looking) :D

    Maybe you are thinking of unregger users. In some forums (Personal Issues, Lesbians Gay and Bi sexuals to name a few) people are allowed to post un-regged for anonimity and other reasons. See here for more details.

    You are actually correct. You need to make five posts before you get a star.
