What do I have to do to get to a different status other than newbie? Ive been on the site for a while and I see members, junior members, senior members and so on. How do you get up to their status?
Make posts. That's the only way. The status names change from one to the next one up after you have made a certain number of posts. Also, the process is NOT automatic. The moderators review everybody's status roughly every six weeks, and people with the right number of good posts get advanced. That means that if you try to increase your post total by posting stupid offtopic remarks and stuff that doesn't help anybody and is seen as total-chasing, you won't get advanced.
Newbie to Junior Member -- 25 posts Junior Member to Member -- 100 posts Member to Senior Member -- 500 posts Senior Member to Addict -- 2500 posts anyone to Moderator -- determination and bribes to admins anyone to Admin -- decent six-figure (euros or dollars, they are not picky) lump sum to AfterDawn's Swiss bank account Also, posts made in the safety valve do not count.
