    What classes as an 'amazing' post to become a senior member is beyond me.

    That makes at least two of us. According to Mithrandir, the only reason I was promoted to senior member was so that someone would PM him once in a while....

    The truth is junior members often get promoted in batches whenever the admin feels like it, so if you have made a couple of posts and/or checked the org regularly, you should get your membership pretty quickly. Junior membership is meant as an 'introduction to the org' so you can get a feel of the place and the community and possibly, to stop people from just signing on for the tavern...

    It's a title for people who have made 'significant contributions to the community', a lot of modders get the title it seems, as well as ex moderators, although senior members often become moderators too, I'm not sure what usually comes first.

    That has to be true. To the best of my knowledge, I've never posted anything here of any value.

    I love the site, read alot here, have learned alot but aint added much to it.

    Yes it certainly seems that way.

    From personal experience, I believe I posted five times and got promoted. Checked back a few months and realised whoa I'd been promoted.

    Congrats for your promotion Matthius Julius

    Probably. It's the same as how you can't see the Backroom if you aren't signed up. The org simply doesn't need political flamers (stereotypes are boring ) to go and start on a first post Nazi rant or something like that.

    That and keeping off spammers and advertisers, though this site suffers from it much less than others.

    Junior members don't really have to worry much, though. Unless they're the trolls that inhabited the internet you are practically guaranteed to be promoted by simply being relatively active (say, more than just a one-post wonder) for a while.

    Senior membership, on the other hand, is not something easy to come by. And I personally doesn't want it that much, either. It's better to keep my noobish status and laugh at the "superiors" and their old age. "Mwahaha, I'm a teen and I have a life ahead of me and yet I can converse in you old people's language," kind of laugh.

    Same here, I just offered a truckload of money - it worked.

    Well, an amazing post is a post that's, well, amazing.

    Hm, now that was a noticable contribution, isn't it?

    Can I have my senior membership now?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Dogon,
    Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our Introductions forum.

    Well, neither seniors which posted in this thread have helped work on a mod (as far as I know), but have always replied in a civil, helpful way in the Main Hall (and other fora I presume).

    so that should be some guideline on both membership and senior membership .
