Once a month a small team of 3 Judges assembles and each selects a character released on the forum. Each writes a full review of the character they selected, and then grade all 3 characters on presentation and functionality. On the first of each month, these reviews and grades are released for your Mugen edification.

Judges earn awards for contributing, and the creators of chosen content earn rewards depending on their score. If you'd like to be a Judge visit this thread and drop a comment.

Or to the most recent thing you haven't read yet? Choose that setting here.

 

7. Signatures:  The last tab is Signatures, and signatures are the custom content you will see at the bottom of all of a given members posts.

You can also choose to ignore all signatures on the forum including your own using the toggle titled "View signatures?".

 

8. Other Settings - Notification Settings:  As mentioned in step 2, the Other Settings menu on the right hand side in the Overview tab has 3 options, the first of which is Notification Settings. Clicking this brings you to a very self explanatory menu that allows you to control how you're notified when content is posted on the site.

10. Other Settings - Ignored Users:  This is exactly what it sounds like, the good ol' block a motherfucker option. A lot of times this is the quickest and easiest way to solve a problem.
