    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.

    Not only the camel lord.

    Also the Master of my stables.

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

    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.

    We've already let go of the main restriction, junior members can now post in all the game forums.

    A massive influx is all the more reason to keep restrictions, it'll be a lot harder to keep track of all the new members.

    You've got it backwards Wizzie (welcome to the Org BTW ). Junior Members don't have edit tools because we assume you are perfect and competent. Those who prove they need such crutches as editing are demoted to Member. Alas, from the tone of you post, you will require demoting to Member to join the vast majority of patrons. I am too embarassed to tell you how pathetic one must be to be a Senior Member.

    Sorry for clowning around. I couldn't resist - I have this knack for looking at things from a different perspective. Fortunately, this time it didn't result is an awful pun.
