Senior Member

[Clips]

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

[Lemur]

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.

[Gregoshi]

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.

Thankyou Gregoshi, just hope my recent help in certain forums espeically on the topic of routers goes down well :)

Yours Clips

May everyone have a HAPPY NEW YEAR

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'.

Understandable mate, i aint that bothered was just curious :)

This reply is archive-worthy for future laughs.

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 don't care because I will never become a senior member.

[DemonArchangel]

I wanna just say this
JAG has been around too long for him not to be a senior member.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Er... Senior member has nothing to do with length here it has everything to do with not pissing off the mods, somthing that Jag, and myself admittingly, are not good at

[JAG]

Mouzafphaerre -

Sorry if my post seemed like an attack on people who are snr members it was nothing of the sort, my post was simply to state that being a member or snr member isn't really something to lose sleep over and it is only people who care about 'status' that would lose sleep over it. It was never my intention to give the impression that I thought snr members care for their 'status', actually my view is far, far from that.

[LittleGrizzly]

Senior member has nothing to do with length here it has everything to do with not pissing off the mods,

nah capo its even harder than that, you have to make qaulity posts as well

I don't care because I will never become a senior member.

untrue...after all, why is Redleg a senior member? he argues non stop with Saturnus

He is????????
Well, everyone likes redleg.
I'd say 90% of the forums hates me.

I think you are a little harsh in your self-criticism Capo. You make it onto people's "List" when you put on that cold-hearted, tough guy mafioso act. However, on a few other occassions you've show that you are a typical teenager trying to figure out how they fit into the world. And, if you've noticed on those occassions, you can draw much empathy and support from those who you'd call "enemies". You are young and trying to find out who you are. Just look at your account title and location: you are "A Simple Man" yet profess to be "On the Highway to Hell". You're still working it all out. If you are lucky, you'll figure out The Answer. Otherwise, you'll learn to muddle through life like most of us do.

They are other senior members that argue with moderators all the time, but that doesn't mean we should demote them to “simple” members merely because of that. The quality of arguing has a lot to do with it; swearing and intolerant behavior is a major minus.

Also, you will find that there are several senior members who have been around since the first Shogun days are rather volatile, harsh people (I don't mean Redleg with this ) that take up arguing easy and can be very stubborn in their approach, and yet deserve a great deal of respect because of their contribution to the community.

I'm just making a point VK in response to Capo

Thanks Gregoshi.
Time to read up on my life strategy books again (Macchiavelli, the Art of War etc)

[Togakure]

Such reading is good. It's good to balance it with the reading from the "other side of the coin" too. Though the nature of life doesn't change, how we choose to look at it definitely affects the quality of our experience.

[Templar Knight]

yep i agree, balance your karma

I thought we were just old...

Promotion to Senior Member advised.

[Apophis]

hello am new to this so i need some one to help me put a new avator a custom one

[Togakure]

Hello and welcome, Apophis.

In the upper left area of the screen on the front page, on the bar beneath the navigation links, is a link called USER CP (which stands for User Control Panel). Click on that and you will find the area where you can select a different avatar, create a custom signature, change the style of your "skin," etc.

Welcome to the org, if you have questions about member levels and such other than senior check out this watchtower thread:https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=40204.

Enjoy your time on the boards!

[Beirut]

Thanks Gregoshi.

I would suggest this quote from Machiavelli; "Always fight your battles with constant regard to the peace you wish to live in afterwards." What a simple yet brilliant thing to say.

As for Senior Member status... I like it. Then again, I am shallow, self-centered, and was willing to pay the $250 fee to attain it.

[dessa14]

i would suggest my quote of machivelli as the best thing i have read from him
look down.
thanks,
