Member status?

**Uesugi Kenshin** · 11-25-2004, 05:29

Just wondering when I will be able to get member status and vote in polls, because I am helping somewhat with both CTW and Sengoku Jidai, and though I do not have an important role it would be nice to be able to answer their polls. I know I have only been with the forum a month and understand that member status may be a long time coming for me but I would just like to have some idea of how it is given out and when.

As a side note I have spent the last 20 minutes or so looking over your Faqs and old watchtower posts and have found only a vague and outdated reference to getting custom pictures at 500+ posts. For thos of us new to this forum it would be nice to have an official statement even if it is not a clear cut number of posts or amount of time. Another suggestion would be to put a line in the faq about this if possible. Thanks for providing this great forum!

Way back when all there was was a few shogun avatars based on post count. Those with over 500 (good) posts were allowed a custom avatar. That later changed when lots of extra avatars were added, when you got 500 posts you could choose your own avatar. Now anyone can choose their avatar I think.

Uesugi Kenshin, I pmed an Entrance Hall Moderator, Kukrikhan, about your member status. You should be hearing from him very soon.

Any member can choose from a selection of avatars (click on User CP/Edit Avatar), although, IIRC, the selection is wider when you are promoted, and when your post count exceeds 500.
