Actually, Junior Members can view the Backroom. We can't make any posts but we can look at everything. I looked at a lot of the stuff. Am I cursed now?Quote:

And I ain't no Senior Member. It's Mr. Assistant Moderator in Charge of Janitorial Duties and Toilet Scrubbing to you buddy!
There seems to be more moderators and assistant moderators than senior members, I would have thought that it would be the other way round. Has admin ever thought of culling a few mods and ast. mods?
well a lot of senior members are moderators etc. IIRC Beirut was a senior member before he became a assistant moderator.Quote:

:balloon2:
Yes he was. IMHO the fewer senior members there are the more significance it holds.
Many senior members don't visit the board very often though and that is partly why there are so few, the other reason is they are generally the ones promoted to assistant moderator and moderator.
Hey Im 57 Ive got to be a senior member I even have a Senior citizens card from AARP ~D
Hehe, you would think that that would count for something right?Quote:

I'm a Senior Member and when I got the title initially from the moderators it was kinda like a "Thank you" for my modding work and helping out others, the HoF and Edit awards were given for the same reasons (I think). As a moderator I promoted hoggy to Senior Membership for the very same reasons.
The only advantage of Senior Membership is having a bigger PM allowance. There is no increase in status involved since they were already respected by others before being made Senior Member.
really ? I always thought that was what it 's all about ~;)Quote:

There certainly is or this thread wouldnt exist. The increase in status is in the eyes of the others who post here. I know speaking for myself when I see senior member under someones name their a rational and respectful member of the community of the highest standing . Its just a status that cant be measured in any material way other than your bigger PM box ~;)Quote:

You mean, size does matter? ...that was so lame :grin:Quote:

Being a Senior Member improves your status. You get more respect ~D
And also, being a Senior Member with 2 or 3 Awards is better than being even the Forum Administrator....
The forum administrators are the Gods of a forum, no mere mortal, no matter how many awards he or she has, can compare to that :bow:Quote:

Wait, having a bigger PM box means your a senior member? I saw my PM box increase from the usual 10 or less (can't quite remember) to 20 recently... so where's me senior membership! :furious3:
~Wiz ~;)
Maybe when I advertise my RTW Guide the second time in TWC, it wouldn't be closed because it is an advertisement. ~;)Quote:

To those who are aware of at least some of the reasons the Senior Member has been given that status there will be no rise in status because that person will already be held in high respect.
For someone who hasn't seen the reasons, it is an indicator that they probably should give the Senior Member some respect.
The reason for limiting things is because the board was shut-off completely in the past as it got too big. Server hardware is better now, the board is better, but the forums are also much bigger than it ever was, more options and more used. In order to keep things rolling, certain options are disabled or limits put in place (the native search function is pretty server intensive, so guests can only use Google and there's a 90 seonds wait for members).Quote:

Tosa,
