... Close Enough Gawain.
Senior Member is an Honorific , 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.
free beer..sounds interesting
I have a wonderful member...
Is being a Senior Member also mean getting old?
~D ~D ~D ~D ~D
P.S. Oh no I'm spamming already.
Spa...sp..ssss....pp....spa.....SPAM!!! :book:
I will keep that in mind ~D ~:cheers: :barrel:Quote:

Louis,
PS: BP, if you were looking for senior membership with 900 spam and trolling post, you really got it wrong.
When I get to Paris, or you get to San Diego, the beer is 'on me', m8. :bow:
Free is good. ~:cheers:
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 .Quote:

Op, yes you are right Dave. How careless of me. *fixed*
Damn, where do you get rose-tinted glasses that thick? I've been looking for some prescription strength ones for a while now... ( ~;) )Quote:

Things have changed BP. Where once I was your apprentice, now I am the master.

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?Quote:

TW mods, guides, that sort of thing.Quote:

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.
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.
