Senior Member

Just wondering how you become a senior member from a normal member.

Palms must be greased, words must be whispered, friends must be lost, enemies made, the earth must shake and the serpent must devour itself.

It's simple, really.

Senior Members are nominated by the Org staff. The criteria for nomination is usually based upon an individuals contributions to the TW community and/or the Org. The contributions can range from creative endevours (such as mods, art, guides and stories) to leadership and commitment (organization of community efforts, running events) to being a fine, honourable, upstanding member of the community. It is our way to recognize and say "thank you" to those who make the TW community a better place.

I wouldn't get hung up on snr membership, it means nothing worth worrying about. It only really matters to people who care about their 'status'.

Dear Jag,

I'm afraid there is a big misunderstanding here. I don't think a single "senior member" does care about his status.

In my case, I was a Junior Patron, then a Senior Patron, finally a Member. I wasn't even aware for some time that I had been made a Senior Member. It's completely an honourary title. We weren't even notified that we had been given one. We don't have access to any additional boards that members don't, we don't have any privilidges over members on forum functionality, save the increased PM storage. (Back when I used to be Junior Member by today's standards, only Senior Members were eligible to start topics at the Watchtower. Now everybody, including Junior Members, can.)

That said, of course I have been flattered with the title. I believe it's something beyond I deserve and makes me feel happy. Who doesn't feel happy knowing that he's respected and given imprtance by a community that he also cares for? If it helps you feel better, though, I will gladly ask Tosa to trade it off for nothing.

My "Gayretlû" is more than enough of a title for me. It's what ordinary commons used to be addressed as in the late Ottoman era and literally means "trying hard".

I can't speak for others but, as I said above, I don't believe that any senior member would care about his status at all.

I think JAG summed it up perfectly with this post, it's only the people who would like to think themselves better than those around them who concern themselves with titles.

Why has this post degenerated into all this? We all have opinions as to who are the worthy and who are the not so worthy but since we do not make the decisions, accept the answer that Gregoshi gave to the original question.

Personally, I don't see this discussion going anywhere

This reply is archive-worthy for future laughs.
