It's quite easy, actually. Here, I made a chart-type thing:
A: 91-100+
B: 82-90
C: 73-82
D: 66-72
F: 0-65
That's a pretty standard rundown of it...it varies between school though.

and.. what does A+ & A-... and all the other letters + & -...
something like...
A+ _98-100
A __94-97
A- _91-93
Etc.

A+ doesn't REALLY exist...but it's 100+ in elementary school
And I'm not sure that's right either, I just guessed because I couldn't find it on my school site.

I don't understand that system pretty much...
in my school...
well.. I'm my country... we always get a score over 10 or over 100... so, I have no idea of how does it works...

It's simple. You get whatever (homework, test, quiz) graded. It's turned into a percent (example: 20/25 on a quiz is an 80%). Then, it's converted into a letter grade. Each school is different with the percents for the letter grade, but my school has an A=100-93, B=92-85, C=84-77, D=76-70, F=<69. That's a harder grading scale; I've seen it where you can still pass (getting a D or better) with a 55%.

So how does this over 10 or over 100 system work?

well... very good... lol
it's like you said it...
it just that...
the total "Unit"... *you may call it "bimestre" (two months) or "trimestre" (tree months)... I wasn't able to find the translation*
is over 100 point...

the tests & quizzes are over 10
and most of the homework too
so... you just add all the tests, quizzes, homework and the FINAL EXAM... and it will give you the "unit" score

A=100-93, B=92-85, C=84-77, D=76-70, F=<69

so... if you get 94... you don't see an A... you see the 94... XD
It's pretty simple... lol

& I also think that Sir-Nuts can help me with this...
I think almost all Latin-America use the same system

Well now I got only 3 projects left, though that English one may not go well, since it wasn't ''pretty'' and stuff. I hate it when projects get rated by how they look.

Hey guys.

Sorry for not posting for a while.

It's my bad.

I've been in trouble for a while.

I know you don't accept excuses.

I hope you'll let me back in.

People keep getting pegged on abusive reviews getting their flags cleared.

Check out "Rage's Gift." Today the Review Mods were talking in there about specifics on what's abusive.

Seems they don't even totally agree with each other which is a pretty big reason we all get confused, I think.

On the subject of abusive reviews, how many points can a review get from being abusive before it gets deleted?

And how does your whistle level go up?

Well I try to avoid using the quote button where possible because it can make posts look a little silly, I mean if someone has just posted above me then I don't really see a reason to quote, it's easy to see the subject. Maybe if it's something I need to take references from as a debate or it's been a few posts back, lol.

Well today kinda sucked because of the School shooting in Jokela that took place yesterday. I personally can't be sad or cry for them and their family, but it still sucks.

True, but you never know when a post will be deleted, or if someone is skimming your post history and wants to know why you said "You suck" or whatever.

Yeah, it can make a post look silly if it's all broken up, but I find it helpful to have an easy(ier) reference when skimming the thread, trying to catch up. Posting without a quote makes it seem like a new idea

Well, the videos were taken down, but I'm getting the jist of it; a kid, who sees himself as a revolutionary, wants to play Hitler and kill everyone he believes doesn't deserve to live.

Personally, I've been desensitized from both TV and the internet to not feel bad about a shooting, unless it effects me. So I'm not crying for him, his family, nor his victims. I feel bad for all of them, and sadden by the fact that 1 person would do that, but within 6 hours, I'll be back to my normal life.

Maybe but I don't imagin most people to go through all of my posts and if I go through someones and the post catches my eye, then I am usually going to go to the topic. I try to avoid short posts these days unless it's just something silly, which I usually do quote.

Well maybe when skimming a topic but if you see the same names in a row then the topic hasn't really changed between those people, so yeah. It's more just habit, I don't usually post with quotes on most forums.

Sorry I've been somewhat inactive guys but I'm getting some pressure down here, gotta apply to other colleges and it's been a real big pain in my ass. So I might be on and off with inactivity for the next couple of days, sorry everyone.

Hey don't mention me in that page lol, thanks buddy : ). Anyway, an update, most of my college stuff is getting done fairly quickly, and I clearly can't resist coming onto NG. And since I'm in the 1000 post region, I might as well set my goal for 5000 yes? haha

Which audio was it? Could you provide a link? I mean he could have still listened to it even though it wasn't his style and voted what he thought about it and even reviewed, so long as he didn't break any review rules I can't see why he shouldn't have. I watch flash that arn't always to my taste, sometimes even review them, if it's fair then there is no problem.

Whatever, I liked it so I voted 5. It was a fair vote becauseI legit liked the beat, so if it helps my power of 8 people overrode his power of 3 people. I wouldve left a review but I don't review audio, sorry buddy.

Technically no, it should have been updated as soon as the probation ended, but you must also realize that the job of the list keeper is complicated, and he may not always have time to update it whenever something happens, we should be thankful he gets around to it once a month, and I should know, because I kept the list going for many months before Hybrid. A task I eventually felt I could no longer handle and passed on to him.

Now unless you feel you can update the list every time anything happens, and waste hours on it alone, I suggest you just sit and wait until it's done.

Or in short. Shit happens.

Well 2 projects to go anymore and still 2 wees time to finish. I made better than I thought I would, though the psychology one is gonna be a tough one, because I need to use examples of my life and I suck at that, mostly since I can't remember much anything.

don't take this offensive but you didnt need to make a forum circle to store all those updates and ranks.. couldnt we just have members and no probation or anything?

ITS VERY NICE OF YOU TO MAKE THIS A FUN EXPERIENCE THO X'D plz don't get pissed of by this message.. its just an idea not an argument.. =( but keep up the great work phantom you rock!!!

Without probation we would have accepted dozens of people who turn inactive a day after they join, probation lets us know who is worthy to be a member and who isn't. It was far more strict when I ran the list :(
