1000 POSTS! (also senior membership?)

[Byzantine Prince]

Omg I'm so damn close to 1000. I've spammed my way into the 900's and now finally I get to enjoy the privileges of being a senior member. BTW, how do you become a senior member?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Just 3 more posts and it's yours.

[LittleGrizzly]

BTW, how do you become a senior member?

grizzly nows a guy, just send some money to grizzly and it'll happen.

[Byzantine Prince]

Who's Grizzly and how do you(a little grizzly) Know him?

[Gawain of Orkeny]

now finally I get to enjoy the privileges of being a senior member. BTW, how do you become a senior member?

I hate to burst your bubble but I doubt you will ever be a senior member. I have over 6,000 posts and few of them are spam and Im not a senior member.

[Mablung]

You remind me of a Commadus over at .com :laugh4:
A little tip, ask not for promotion, it really doesn't tend to help chances unless appeals are put out for 'we need another mod, list name if interested' etc.

[Drisos]

What changes when being a senior member and what do you need to become it? i've seen lots of guys with over 1000 posts who weren't senior members.

[JAG]

Well done.

[TheSilverKnight]

Who's Grizzly and how do you(a little grizzly) Know him?

Grizzly IS LittleGrizzly ~D

[Gawain of Orkeny]

What changes when being a senior member

Ony the words under your avitar. It will now say senior member instead of member if you are ever so lucky. Thats it.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I think maybe expanded pm inbox and more avatar choice.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I think maybe expanded pm inbox and more avatar choice.

Wow I have to get that ~D

[The Stranger]

i'm over 1000 and i'm not a Senior Member

Welcome to the crew. ~:cheers:

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Congrats on passing 1000 ByzantinePrince. I have just passed that threshhold myself. I have found that many things have changed, they are:
1: My post count
2: My post count is now three digits
3: I now can post here saying I have passed 1000 posts, before I could not

So many great and exciting changes to become accomodated to. I have no idea how I will ever be the same...........

[The Stranger]

dude you have more then i have yhat's unacceptable

I know. It's like I crossed some weird dimension where... I... have a 4-digit post count. I'm gonna have to sleep on this, I don't what I feel about it. It's definetly changed my life.

[Sjakihata]

post count has NOTHING to with senior membership. If you do a complete guide on something, lick a boot here and there or send some money to certain places things start to happen.

~:cheers:

[Byzantine Prince]

*looks under Sjakihata's avatar and laughs his aCC off* :laugh4:

[Lonewarrior]

to be senior member you need to contribute something to the org, guides, etc, then some random admin would give you senior membership.

and you know...money here...money there....

[Redleg]

Well one must not troll so much if they wish to become a senior member.

Other then that - you will have to ask a moderator by PM how best to get the status you seem to desire.

[zelda12]

heh, so you got over a 1000 posts, I could of if I wanted to...well I could yes but then I'd be a very big spammer and would be taking part in conversatons like this one...damn, didn't see that coming.

I don't get senior membership, as far as I can tell its pointless and all it does is cause a diffrenece between members which can at time breed contempt and rivalry. Which is not good. :dizzy2: Oh gods I can't believe I'm taking this thread seriously. ~:)

Anywhoo, comgratz on the 1000 posts, I would say I'm jealous but as has been oft repeated, "We are all equal in the eyes of the Shogun." :bow:

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Senior Membership is granted by the staff on an individual basis, it has nothing to do with post count. It's rendered for service to the community. That can range from providing something useful, like Froggy's guides, to being an essential participant in debates in the backroom. God knows why they gave me senior membership, I just made bad jokes for a year and a bit.

On a related note, JAG isn't a senior member? There's something a bit wrong about that...

[Big_John]

i wonder if posting excessively large pictures of occasionally hot women is seen as a contribution to the community..

[Byzantine Prince]

It worked for Soly. ~;)

[Gawain of Orkeny]

On a related note, JAG isn't a senior member? There's something a bit wrong about that...

Jag has a huge spam count and is an aggressive and has a somtimes baiting style of posting. If the mods have to keep warning or pming you you have little chance of making senior member. I was amazed when Redleg got it allthough I feel he more than deserves it. He has always been good but his recent change has made him all that more formidable. Its not how much you post but what you post that counts. Heck I havent had a warning in so long I forget what those yellow cards look like. Im stil not a senior member though. All I can do is keep plugging away ~D Maybe someday when my spelling and grammar improves I just may make it. ~:)

[LittleGrizzly]

i don't think not being warned is enough, to the best of my memory ive never been warned.

theres a few i think should be senior member who aren't but im probably a bit more lax on them.

Who's Grizzly and how do you(a little grizzly) Know him?

he's me or im him, one of the two, so the cheques on its way ?

[Kaiser of Arabia]

The Capo thinks that Senior membership should be granted by time spent on the forum and posting.
I.e. at least 2 years posting with over 1,000 posts.
Somthing like that.
We all know Jag and Gawain are the true senior members ~;)

[Gawain of Orkeny]

We all know Jag and Gawain are the true senior members

Not me. I certainly dont meet the two year criteria.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Seeing as this has turned into a discussion about guild membership and promotion policy, I have moved it to the Watchtower.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

... Close Enough Gawain.

[KukriKhan]

Senior Member is an Honorific (http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary-tb?book=Dictionary&va=honor) , used to recognize members' contributions to the overall good of the Org.

Two or three times a year, staff considers where we are, where we're going, and who among the membership has helped in that journey. Post count doesn't matter much, contribution does (there are Sr. Mbr's with less than 400 posts, and Members with thousands).

Senior members get a slightly larger PM mailbox, a title under their avatar, free beer at my house (none have shown up so far), and the publicly displayed respect of a grateful ORGanization.

[Lonewarrior]

free beer..sounds interesting

[Devastatin Dave]

I have a wonderful member...

[AntiochusIII]

Is being a Senior Member also mean getting old?

~D ~D ~D ~D ~D

P.S. Oh no I'm spamming already.

[Devastatin Dave]

Spa...sp..ssss....pp....spa.....SPAM!!! :book:

None was aware of the free beer thingy!

What do you get?

What about you come to Paris, and take some Euro member at the pub? Would that work too?

Louis,

PS: BP, if you were looking for senior membership with 900 spam and trolling post, you really got it wrong.

[KukriKhan]

When I get to Paris, or you get to San Diego, the beer is 'on me', m8. :bow:

[Hosakawa Tito]

Free is good. ~:cheers:

[Byzantine Prince]

That was a joke. I only spammed 2 or 3 times from what I can remember. My posts are usually pretty good but tend to misread them and so I have had a warn level quite a few times. Hopefully that will get better ~D .

[ah_dut]

Free is good. ~:cheers:
Beer is better...touché no? :duel:

Op, yes you are right Dave. How careless of me. *fixed*

Don't believe him. He offered me free beer over a year ago and STILL hasn't delivered. And I LIVE in San Diego.

P.S: I can't find the smilies that would show I'm not being serious. Where are they?

[Clips]

YES ITS TRUE CLIPSY IS HERE AT THE ORG AGAIN :D

Sorry been very busy sorting out many rojects over at the net, I do believe 1000 posts does not make you a senior member, but the posts you make are read by numerous higher members here and they talk whether or not to make you a senior member, so stay clean, dont spam and make really useful posts and show your honor and you will one day become a senior member :)

when you say contribution matters as to wether you are chosen to become a senior member, what's a good contribution to the good of the org?

i'm a member now though and that's as far as i ever really expect to go, so, thank you!

TW mods, guides, that sort of thing.

[TosaInu]

Hello,

Creating guides etc is not the only reason for becoming Senior Member, nor is creating it a guarantee for becoming one (hostile argumenting, putting others down, no I'm not talking about jokes where people can laugh with each other, co-creating problems and then 'crediting' others for it). Not creating guides, organizing things, but contributing to fun, fair, honest and civil discussions in here will be rewarded too.

Not having a Senior Member account doesn't have to mean that you're not good enough for it, as only a couple are handed out a year.

Does this system have cons? Absolutely. Egoistically talking for myself: it increases the administration of the board by lots, just because the account type exists. On a more important level: it creates a us vs them attitude. Ironically, as it was originally created to counter that.

[Clips]

Is this signature ok for you Tosa?

You should not be bothered whether you are a normal member or a senior, there is no more/less respect for either rank and you will be respected for being the person you are in this great community.

I would like to thank Tosa now for the great work he does here as I feel I have missed this point in the long time of which I have been a member here now and wish him the best of luck in the future with his life and the site.

[ichi]

I've always liked the idea of Senior Members, to me it's a way of recognizing the best of the best, those folks who enhance the community in outstanding ways.

ichi :bow:

ps Clipsy, you craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy

[tibilicus]

You want to be a seneior member? Im not even a member yet. Im still a junior..........

[Craterus]

I'm nearly 1000 posts now... lol ~:cool: :surprised: :grin2:

Nay, you have exactly 1,000 posts now! :balloon:

[tibilicus]

1000 in 2 months that is a lot of posts. Im on 300 and something in 1month wich i consider a lot. Stoped a bit now as i dont have as much time.

[Craterus]

Congratulations tibilicus, I'm sure your 1000 will be along in no time.

[Craterus]

400 posts in 5 days? I was 1000 23/4/05, I'm now 1,400 28/4/05 hehe

[ichi]

400 posts in 5 days? I was 1000 23/4/05, I'm now 1,400 28/4/05 hehe

I ask this delicately, and politely.

Why is your post count important to you?

[tibilicus]

Would you say that 400 in a month is a lot of posts that what i have done...........

[Myrddraal]

Its Quality not Quantity that counts,

(as I'm sure you will immediately notice if you read some of my posts :wink: )

[Craterus]

I ask this delicately, and politely.

Why is your post count important to you?

Again, politely and delicately, I don't know, maybe you could ask the peson who started this thread? Maybe you could ask the person who invented them and the person who puts them on forums sites? I like to keep track of my activity, don't ask me why, just do.

[AntiochusIII]

I ask this delicately, and politely.

Why is your post count important to you?To me (I know you're not asking me, but I just want to give a different reason to Craterus') I consider the post counts only because they give me more pics, in which I still search for a better one than my current one. I'm looking for Greek generals (corresponding to my name), which take, I believe, 400 posts.

[ichi]

Thanks Antiochus IMO that's a valid reason.

@ Craterus

I guess I find the idea of posting just to get your post count up or being proud of your post count or your post rate is pretty funny. Its not a race, but whatever makes you happy.

It does seem odd that something that seems so important is also unexplainable, or at least the importance is unknown even to you.

Like Myrddraal says its quality that counts

[Craterus]

Hey, I guess I agree with Antiochus, the page which shows all the avatars loads pretty slow for me and I'm waiting to find out what it is at 1500. And 2000. I think I just find it interesting. Anyway, if you don't think the quality of my posts is of a decent standard then maybe I should be reported for spamming the forums.
Thanks.

[Myrddraal]

Hey, it wasn't directed at you... I was just giving my point of view about the topic.

[ichi]

Anyway, if you don't think the quality of my posts is of a decent standard then maybe I should be reported for spamming the forums.

I didn't say anything about you post quality, I think the folks here can make up their own minds about quality.

You frequently post about your post-count, and seem to take a great deal of pride in the number of posts you make each day.

I just don't understand post-count pride and was wondering why it was so important to you, so don't make anything else out of it.

ichi :bow:

Yeah these so called perfect senior members sitting on their high horses :charge: telling us they make quality posts whilst at the same time spamming. :balloon2:

Anyways I congratulate people on keeping this ancient thread of mine alive. It's astonishing, and it wasn't even suposed to be about senior membership! ~:cheers:

[Mouzafphaerre]

Hey, I'm one of them perfect spamming senior members! :charge:

[ichi]

Yeah these so called perfect senior members sitting on their high horses telling us they make quality posts whilst at the same time spamming.

Normally I wouldn't respond to such a bizarre post, but that was totally uncalled for BP.

I never told anyone that I make quality posts, only that I value quality over quantity.

Please go back and read all I asked was why Craterus was always bragging about his post-count. I was genuinely interested in his motivations.

I don't care whether my post count goes up or down, but I don't like being insulted even if it is a joke. After some of the discussions that you and I have had I'd think you would understand that.

ichi :bow:

[Byzantine Prince]

Chill-axe :medievalcheers:

This is a public forum on the internet. Anyone taking offence in a place like this is incredibly smart. ~;)

[Voigtkampf]

+1 on postcount! Wooo-hoooo :cowboy:

[Colovion]

no one will look at your Senior Member title and think any higher of you

it's what's in the text that you transcribe which heralds the respect others garner for youhttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de//wink2.gif

[Craterus]

I don't think I brag about my post count, I know of 2 times in the past where I have raised my post count for discussion, other than that, I have only responded to comments such as
Have you seen how many posts Craterus has got?!?!?! :jawdrop:

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Have you seen how many posts Craterus has got?!?!?!

Where are these posts? I havent seen them. Do you post alot other than in the tavern or do you use the one word story(i never even look at that) to increase your post count ~:)

[Byzantine Prince]

He posts in the regular RTW sinlge player and places like that where the post rate is really high.

[Craterus]

Generally, I post Frontroom, RTW Guides, Campus Martius and Colosseum.
Never played MTW or STW unfortunately so I've never visited those forums.

[Mouzafphaerre]

-
+2 Craterus
+1 BP, +1 Gawain
+1 ME!!!
:joker:

[IrishMike]

Right now Craterus seems on pace to try to catch Jag.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Give him a few months ~:) It only took Jag 3 or 4 years and me two. Were not even in his league. ~D

[Craterus]

More than a few months, I think a year at least, but I'm slowing now. I think.

[JAG]

Crat - you do realise everyone is taking the piss out of you... don't you?

I mean you're even spamming the watchtower.

[tibilicus]

leave Craterus alone everyone. Its up to him what he does are you going to tell him what to do?

[Craterus]

I don't really care, how can I take offense at the comments of some people on an internet forum. I'm here to talk about RTW. Not a post count. Not my use of my free time.

I realise I've lingered here too long so I probably won't post here again. But hey, spontaneity and all, you never know.

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Well Craterus you are slowing down, it took you 2-3 days to pass me and you only passed me when I lost internet for two days. I make about 8-11 posts a day, I try to make them have a purpose...

This one doesn't have much of one though....

[Abokasee]

ah im a senior (or is juinor yes its junior) mumber and don't even 150 posts!!


~:confused: ~:eek: :dizzy2:

[tibilicus]

Ahhhhhhhh the good old days of juniorship. I was on 300 and something posts before i became a member. Remember quality not quantity.

[Craterus]

I am slowing, but I'm visiting these boards less. Less time on internet (it's been sunny) and been spending some time on clan website.

[Byzantine Prince]

You're not slowing dude. You're up 37 posts per say. It used to be 32!

[Craterus]

Hmm, haven't been on much today. Anyway, I'm counting my post count discluding One Word Story and other spam threads.. so here's my current: 1128 posts / 23 posts per day

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Total Posts: 1,784 (37.02 posts per day) ~;)

[ichi]

1,742 (2.07 posts per day)

+1

[JAG]

Hmm, haven't been on much today. Anyway, I'm counting my post count discluding One Word Story and other spam threads.. so here's my current: 1128 posts / 23 posts per day

lol +1 post count for him, win!

Oh and me! ~:cool:

[ichi]

If Jag continues posting at his current average rate, and I quadruple my post count (to 8.28) in 10 years I will catch up to him (at approximately 32,000 posts).

If he could sustain his current prodigious rate, in May of 2015 Craterus would have over 136,000 posts.

In the light of these figures my plan is to creep along and try to make sense with each post, a truly humongous task

ichi ~:cheers:
