why can't I post in the rome forum?

~:confused:

Junior Partrons can only post in the Entrance Hall.

Read the "New ? Please read this first ! " Thread, at the top of the Entrance Hall room.

That sucks ~:argue: ~:mad:

Actually no, it's pretty good - for keeping that exact attitude out of the forums. Makes it easier for the mods to, "quarantine".

But lets not get into that...

Yes, when do I get these shackles off? How many posts?

:::shackles rattle:::

Rank rewrite equation seems to go something like:

Junior Patron -> Senior Patron { posts: (5 + (Q * V) / S) }

where:

Q = # of socks lost in automatic dryers in the past month
V = # children in your immediate bloodline family 5 generations back
S = days until birthday


....

Actually, I have no idea. Just keep posting good posts, be polite, and all will be well. I made the transition m'self only a little while ago, it's magical! ~:)

Read New? Please read this first!, that will answer your question. Rank has nothing to do with post count: you can get promoted after one excellent post (though that is rare), or it can take more than a hundred (if you are spamming). The key thing the moderators look for is helpfullnes. If you help others, you are sure to be promoted. If you are friendly and don't spam, you will be promoted as well. Just keep posting and you will be senior patron in two weeks

I already requested him to read that, obviously it didn't sink in the first time. ~:doh:

it's quality, not quantity, that counts. Quality, useful posts should get you promoted in a week or two. On the other hand, i've seen juniors with 3-400 pure spam posts ("HI I'M NEW!", "I AGREE!!!!", "THATS STOOPID!!!", etc.) who've languished for a month before it finally sunk in that post count means zero.

Inuyasha 12 and Amir may be the ones you are talking about, they had 30+ posts a day at one point

true, some of em got a bit better though. I never really spammed but still had a huge post count a day which only shows my lack of social life.
