    Damn. Del Arroyo voted No. That's just cold. What's up Del Taco? That's messed up!

    Well, at least you admited you are a selfish prick for all to see.

    Darth Soly also voted no. But that just explains itself.

    Now, your insults towards these members for their opinion makes me want to vote no, just to rub it in your face.

    Woof. Now I'll crap on YOUR carpet. It 'twas a joke my friend. Don't get so angry. Del Arroyo is a good man. You obviously did not read the poll options.

    If it makes you feel better, you can look at YodaInu:



    Do You feel better?



    I do.

    And for the record, Del Taco is a delicious restaraunt in Southern California.

    Gawain is my man, he deserves Senior Membership more than just about anyone on this board.

    God bless, Gawain.

    There are quite a few patrons worthy of becoming Senior Members. When the time comes for such promotions, there are usually at least a dozen nominations put forth by the staff but only about half of these are selected - not because the others arent' worthy, it is just that we are trying to keep the numbers down so Senior Membership remains a special recognition. Senior Membership would have little significance if half the Org patrons were of that level. So, just because Gawain (or anyone else) isn't a Senior Member, it doesn't mean 1) we don't think he is worthy of it; and 2) that he hasn't been nominated previously. Between all the staff, we do tend to recognize those who are deserving of such a promotion.

    Since Divinus has brought up the subject, it reminds me that we may be due for another round of Senior Member promotions. I'll bring it up with Tosa.

    Last note before someone brings up the "elitist" issue, promotion to Senior Member is simply the Org staff's way of saying "thank you" to those patrons who make the Org a better place. The importance of the promotion is only meant to be significant to the member being promoted. It is not an promotion that makes the Senior Member better than any other patron. All patrons are expected to respect each other regardless of their rank.

    Agreed , but you can solve the problem by creating a Master membership and than a Super membership , the sky is the limit
