#3 Section Goodies:

Unlike any "Identify this model" section of any other forum, VEF's Model ID Request Forum is well organized and keeps you on track if requests are solved. But this isn't the only benefit this section offers...

General Questions and Problem Reports

If you have questions or if like to contribute to the Model ID Request section aside from solving or requesting model id's - or if there's a problem inside this section - you can post such things here.

Welcome, About & News thread

Here you will be informed about any news in the model id request section: rule changes, board issues, unfolded mysteries, members who gain stars and much more. If you aren't a frequent visitor of the model id request section, it's recommended to subscribe to this thread so you won't miss relevant updates.

A-Z Profile Directoy of Solved Requests

This image-driven goodie, which is a permanent part of the Welcome thread, offers a huge bunch of alphabetically ordered contact sheets of our solved ID requests. If you have some spare time you should check it out. You can decide if you want to download the all-in-one solution, including an "also known as" document, or if you want to browse the categorized directories which are filtered by different types of interests:

> Directory of Solved Classic Models
> Directory of Solved Modern Models

Update of threads :
A-Z Directory : Each month with all [solved]* models of the past month.
Categorized Directories : Each quarter.

The Mystery Box

Many requests which weren't solved during the regular lifetime (9 months) will be collected here. Because we don't allow the bump of requests, this service makes sure that a nice request will gain a "permanent phase of attention" as long as no one is able to "unfold the mystery".

Update of thread : 1 x per month with additions and asap if a mystery gets unveiled.

The Helpers Hall Of Fame

This is a goodie for all the helping hands of this section, the leaderboard of our helping hands. Your name will enter this list as soon as you were able to give 10 correct IDs. Moderators stay non-competitive - we help solving requests but don't show up in this ranking cause this feature is just for you, the members.

Keep in mind that only solved ID's from the main Model ID Request section counts (so neither from ID Projects nor from any other VEF subforum). Also just the first correct answer gets the credit, except if an additional post adds the needed reference for a hard to find model.

Values:
Regular ID Requests: 1 ID point each solved request
Mystery Box Requests: 5 ID points each solved mystery model
10 ID points: 1 Star in the Hall of Fame

You will achive no points at all if you solve requests which are against the section rules (multiple id requests, requests by members who aren't yet allowed to start requests, ...). you will also achive no points if you solve requests outside main(!) model id request section, so as well no score for identifiying models in ID projects.

Gain the usertitle "Certified ID Expert" and be allowed to start unlimited requests in your personal model id request project thread by solving 500 requests (or 100 mystery girls).

Update of thread : asap if so. has 10 posts in the hall of fame post count buffer
