ZZzzzzz {snort} Revolting Peasants? To the gates!

I guess this ball is in my court, so here goes:

The end-of-year holiday season is the busiest time for my real-life job: 11-hour days, 6 days a week are normal nowadays, so I have been scarce around here lately. Sorry about that.

Rather than re-hash the evolution of Org promotion policy, I'll just explain how it works today (and promise to update the "Read Me First" stickie in the Entrance Hall today).

Newly-registered members can read and post in all game-related forums, just like every other gamer forum. We advance users to full "Member" based on their contribution; specifically: quality of posts, quantity of posts, frequency of visits, length of time registered - all given roughly equal weight. The idea being that users who show continued, sustained interest should get extra tools.

Moving from JuniorMember to Member gets a user access to the Tavern Backroom (aka our OffTopic forum) a larger PM mailbox, and an 'edit' button.

That's about it, unless someone wants to know about the actual mechanics of how we promote/increase access.

Again, I apologize for any confusion caused by my spotty attendance.
