Reasons why your L33T/UB3R is missing + How to get UB3R - The Elite - Oct 3, 2010
Missing Upgrade
I've seen many threads where people question why their L33T or UB3R is missing. There are many reasons as to why a person can lose their upgraded status/being downgraded.
Omniscient has recently added a new punishment. Any UB3R member that does not live up to the required quality to be an UB3R member, they will be downgraded temporarily to L33T status till they can prove themselves worthy.
It can be removed because:
- Scam reports
- Continuous reputation abuse
- Low quality
- Infecting members
And many other reasons.
Many people wonder why their L33T status is missing. Approximately one year ago, L33T was a yearly subscription for $5. Many people that have lost it have purchased it then.
If this is you, then please don't post a thread about it. If it is not, PM Omniscient here.
Stop posting the threads, this is what you will receive.
We recommend you take the time to read the HF Help Documents section. The answer to your questions should be contained in there.
How to get UB3R
Ub3r is different to L33T. Ub3r's must be accepted by Omniscient through private message. PM Omniscient here to see if you are eligible, you don't have to be L33T to request, although it's easier to get accepted. No one knows how he decides if a member is worthy, there is also no reason to guess.
NOTE
If you are not accepted, you can't apply for 61 days. You will not be guaranteed acceptance if you've been denied before.
UB3R is $30 USD from normal member, $18 USD from L33T, not $15.
I upgraded, now what?
Nothing, now you must wait. After upgrading, you will need to wait 24-48 hours before being upgraded by Omniscient. If 48 hours have passed, then that is when you PM him. Private message him here with the correct information, (payment ID, email, etc). He runs over 200 forums and multiple active forums, so do respect his actions as he is extremely busy.
Someone has purchased to buy me L33T/Ub3r?
There are many potential consequences of someone purchasing you an upgrade. Although, first, you must understand.
To be upgraded to Ub3r, the member must be Ub3r them self. To be upgraded to L33T, the member must be L33T.
Next, if the member used a fraudulent payment option and is found to have done so, the member that the payment was for will either:
1. Have their account permanently banned.
2. Have their upgrade removed.
The above options can occur from a chargeback and or limitation (PayPal).

And much more.

Thank you for this thread The Elite. This will probably answer their questions.

Thank you, thread updated with how to get UB3R.
* - Simba™ - Oct 3, 2010
The updated post looks better & more organised now. This should be sticked.
* - Boxxy - Oct 3, 2010
Looks nice and well though-out. Just wondering, where exactly does Omniscient explain the removing the ub3r part?
* - The Elite - Oct 3, 2010
He's done it before and has said so. He didn't explain it, but I've been told by someone of the circumstances if they have UB3R removed.

I've seen few examples in the past few months in which Ub3r's got downgraded for being LQ...

Hopefully people will stop posting these threads after reading this thread.

Yep, exactly what happened. Hope this clears up many issues.

Hey! Nice thread. Also I will give you one idea:
Add also who can upgrade for who something. E.g. I saw a thread about a contest to win l33t or/and ub3r. A l33t member opened that. That's wrong. Only Ub3r can gift to other people Ub3r or l33t and only l33t can gift l33t to other members. Please add that as many lazy people don't go read the rules or so. I responded to the thread which I had defined before but all ignored me. Well it will be the their problem and not mine.

I am talking about a l33t member gifting ub3r to other. It isn't allowed. https://hackforums.net/misc.php?action=help&hid=13
"Can a l33t member buy me ub3r?
No they cannot. Only ub3r can gift other ub3r accounts. "
It's in the link which I defined above, anyways.

Thank you, I will add.
@DeanTehNoob
I sure hope so.

Please sticky this thread. I've only been here a short time but I must've seen at least 6 or 7 of these threads, and they really do piss me off!

Admin removes UBER status usually due to following reason.
SCAMS
HARDCORE SPAMMING AND LQ MEMBER
REP ABUSE
Some ubers lost their status due to scams.
