Alright. Why the heck has this not already occurred?

I think it is high time that Gawain is elevated to Senior Member.

His posts, while politically motivated, contribute to a fun and healthy atmosphere in the backroom. He is a respected member of the community and is a leader amongst members.

Why not, after 11,000 posts, grant him that status as Senior Member.

It is my opinion that, whether you agree with his politics or not, Gawain of Orkeny, should be given said status.
