How do I stop being a junior member?

since you joined when the org is getting a lot of new members, you will have to wait a bit more.

SSJVegetaTrunks: If you've been posting regularly and have been a good netizen (no bashing or spamming, etc.), then you should be made a full member pretty soon. Junior members generally get promoted in batches every few weeks or so.

If you do feel you've been overlooked, feel free to take CrossLOPER's advice and PM one of the admins (Tosa, barocca, or Ser Clegane). Given how busy the Org is right now, however (due to Medieval 2 having just been released), promotions are probably just taking a little longer than usual. I know it's hard to be patient sometimes, but I honestly don't think you'll have very long to wait before you find yourself a full member.

Oh, and welcome to the Org, btw!

Say something really profound/deep/insightful.

Get instagibbed...

Just kidding

Patience my friend, you'll be member soon enough.

Btw, in my days Junior members were restricted to the Entrance Hall only. So what are you complaining about? Those spoiled Junior Members nowadays

. Gah. They never experienced the real suffering when we were forced to obey the Camel Lord and only the Camel Lord.

Bah, camels.

Oh, I'm forgetting something: Welcome SSJVegetaTrunks

Enjoy your stay.

Not only the camel lord.

Also the Master of my stables.

Anyway, you have only been a member for a month.

Patience Grasshopper.

Quite the contrary! I wouldn't mind if Junior Member was just an honorific, but the fact that basic forum tools like editing your own posts are denied to Junior Members can make using the forum awkward and frustrating. That and the massive forced-delay between posting times. I understand this is to stop new members spamming, but for people like myself who only have time to check the forum for a few minutes a day and can't wait for exorbitant periods of time to reply to maybe two or three threads it can be an incredible turn-off. The amount of times I've had helpful info to a question or an interesting point to make but have just neglected replying because I literally don't have "300 seconds" to wait before I'm allowed the post is pretty high.

Really it's the incredibly restrictive posting options that irritate me and induce the impatience you might see amongst other people stuck in this membergroup. Even if the post-delay was brought down to something manageable like 30-60 seconds and the edit function was enabled, navigating the forums would became leaps and bounds more enjoyable and fluid. Perhaps it might be a good idea to make some changes to the system now, with a massive influx of new members changing the dynamics and environment of the Guild considerably from what was the status quo.
