    Thumbs up Re: A mini guide:"How to become a member"

    Thanks Caius!
    I appreciate the explanation.

    However, as stated by professorspatula, I'm not really into that official chin scratching thing. But I will 'tap the keg for you'.

    Good job, Caius, however, I bemoan the idea that people are having trouble becoming members. If you're going to join the org, you should figure on being at least somewhat active. Also, its not hard to have some manners on line, I think its pretty cowardly to make fun of people when you most likely will never see them face to face. I had no trouble at all becoming a member, it didn't ever really become an issue for me, anyway.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Hi greaterkhaan,
    Sadly people do have trouble becoming members. Before this constructive thread was written there had been several questions about the matter even though it had been written in the FAQ. Although it may be obvious to most, a small collection of members don't understand what they have to do and are not especially, let's say, civil to other members, this thread aims to help them out and encourage them to post more freindly posts to their fellow Org members so that they can reap the reward at the end. Hope this helps you, cheers!

    BTW, it didn't effect me either - I joined on the morning of 12th of January at 8:50AM and I was a full member when I woke up the following morning (13th of January) 6:30AM. Although I sort of cheated - I joined a mafia game!

    it is frustrating when u cannot post in other thread topics, such as myself i had the problem and could only reply in the mtw/vi threads

    sometimes you can get overlooked as the moderators are busy, and so i got in touch with TosInu, and the good sir made me a member

    As a new member I have to say this should not be stickied. I will be honest and admit I barely skimmed through the stickies before I started posting. And Omanes how did you join a mafia game as a junior member??? I had to wait till I was promoted to full member till I could play.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    You mean the custom user title? What shows up for me as "Just your average", right? Well, I think you can change that whenever you want, by going in your User Control Panel, then by going in "Profile". There, after scrolling down a bit, you should find the "Custom User Title" section. Fill that out, and that's that.

    Wow, Andres, you turned green!

    Howdy?

    It's been a while - my current life is changing, and I can't spend as much time as I want here, unfortunately... this will last at least a month more

    But my spirit is still here though, when I remember a hint, an advice, or the picture of a battle!!!!

    I still don't quite get it, are promotions carried out when the member reaches a certain number of post counts or do the staff manually promote him?

    Shogun,

    You need to wait. Sometimes, you are not long enough to deserve the promotion.

    Its not really the title - its more the privileges which make it worthwhile.

    With the promotion a user has a lower compulsory time in between posting (from five minutes to twenty seconds) and also gains access to the edit function in all forums (previously only holding it in the Hosted Mod forums).

    In addition the user can also post in the The Arena, The Hard- and Software forum, the Monastery and Chapter House, the Frontroom and the Gameroom. The Backroom can also be posted in, although this requires applying for permission through the UserCP.

    Also gained, although not so important, is the ability to change your user name every sixty days, and to create your own custom user title (the text above your avatar). The size of the user's PM box is also increased (from 20 to 100).

    Senior Membership, although not quite as perk filled, grants the user a larger PM box (100 to 225 PMs) and the ability to change their user name every thirty days. The user status is more important here though - hopefully other users hold Senior Members in higher regard when they post.

    Indeed. The bestowing of Senior Member on someone is mostly just an honorific, with the added benefit that any SM's will get free beer if they visit KukriKhan at his house.
