I have found this very irriating. Above your avatar there are the words:
Junior Member
Junior Member
I have seen some people with it saying things like "EB Faction Coordinator" and others saying "Yay Yay Yay". So how do you change it to sometihng like that or do you have to be a full member?
Oh yes and if you do have to be a member then could you tell me how to get promoted. I am sick of everybody thinking I'm inferior!
Im assuming it has to do with post count or the amount of time you have been here. It's annoying however since I can't post in the forums Id like to.
You can get promoted if you get yourself recognised in a good way.
From the FAQ:
Quote:
Promotion to Member
Promotion to Member is based on participation, conduct and contributions in your posts. Quantity of posts doesn't matter - you could be promoted on the basis of one amazing post, although just showing the ability to interact with the membership in a helpful and polite manner is easily sufficient. In other words, you don't need to do something special, just enjoy yourself whilst following the Forum Rules above. Introducing yourself (if you have not already done so) in the HAIL New Members! (Introductions) III thread doesn't hurt either!
Fair enough then. As long as I get to write my stories/recounts somewhere Im not bothered. Thanks for the info Byzantine Emperor! :2thumbsup:Quote:

If only...
What classes as an 'amazing' post to become a senior member is beyond me.

Well as Tellos Athenaios mentioned, you can adjust your custom user title.Quote:

I am afraid the option to edit your user title only becomes available once you make it to full member.Quote:

Congratulations on your promotion, Matthius Julius! ~:cheers:
That makes at least two of us. ~;) According to Mithrandir, the only reason I was promoted to senior member was so that someone would PM him once in a while.... :laugh4:Quote:

No it wasn't Martok ~;).
The truth is junior members often get promoted in batches whenever the admin feels like it, so if you have made a couple of posts and/or checked the org regularly, you should get your membership pretty quickly. Junior membership is meant as an 'introduction to the org' so you can get a feel of the place and the community and possibly, to stop people from just signing on for the tavern...
It's a title for people who have made 'significant contributions to the community', a lot of modders get the title it seems, as well as ex moderators, although senior members often become moderators too, I'm not sure what usually comes first.Quote:

Congrats for your promotion Matthius Julius :balloon3:
Same here, I just offered a truckload of money - it worked.Quote:

Well, an amazing post is a post that's, well, amazing.
Hm, now that was a noticable contribution, isn't it?
Can I have my senior membership now?
Thanks in advance :2thumbsup:
Hello Dogon,
Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our Introductions forum.
"Hello"
Well, neither seniors which posted in this thread have helped work on a mod (as far as I know), but have always replied in a civil, helpful way in the Main Hall (and other fora I presume).
so that should be some guideline on both membership and senior membership ~:).
My donation of Bedouin swords wasn't cheap either. :laugh4:Quote:

Junior members don't really have to worry much, though. Unless they're the trolls that inhabited the internet you are practically guaranteed to be promoted by simply being relatively active (say, more than just a one-post wonder) for a while.
Senior membership, on the other hand, is not something easy to come by. And I personally doesn't want it that much, either. It's better to keep my noobish status and laugh at the "superiors" and their old age. "Mwahaha, I'm a teen and I have a life ahead of me and yet I can converse in you old people's language," kind of laugh.
:wacky:
