Member status

[kohlhaas1]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway. What is the difference between a Junior Member and a Member. Does it have to do with how long you have been a member, or how many posts? Or maybe Members have given a donation? I can't find anything on here about that.

[Scottes]

It's just the number of posts. Junior Member is below 500, Member is 500-999, Senior Member is 1000 - 1999, Gold Member is 2000-5000, Cream Of The Crop is above 5000.

I think that also depends on length of time as a member, cas as you can see I only have 129 posts yet have moved from Junior Member to Member

[Scottes]

Hmm, it's definitely Post Count... OK, looks like Junior Member is less than 30 posts, Member is 30-500. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/memberlist.php?do=getall&page=103&pp=30&order=desc&sort=posts

[Blue Deuce]

I asked this question ( member progression designation ) back in May and this was Belmondos reply:

It looks like Junior Member is less than 30
30-999 Member
1000-1999 Senior Member
2000 4999 Gold Member
5000-plus Cream of the Crop
12,000-plus Manic Member (so far, we only have one of those)

[Cadwell]

Junior Member 0-29 posts
Member 30-999 posts
Senior Member 1000-1999 posts
Gold Member 2000-4999 posts
Cream of the Crop 5000+

(he was winding you up about "Manic Members" although it's a good idea!- but there are in fact now two with 12,000 plus. Marie and CDS).

[Ronald S. Jr.]

I'm getting up there, slow but sure. :-) I passed maniacal a long time ago. :eek:

[belmondo]

For a very long time I was #3 on the list behind Jake (CyberDyneSystems) and Marie. Now I'm # and fading fast. Permie should pass me within a month or so. Eventually I'll be off the first page, and then, just a historical footnote.

That's the way things work around here.

[Twisted Image]

Just remember it's quality not quantity that counts

Anyone can post thousands of nonsense posts...

[Skip Souza]

There are only two member levels that matter. The Quick and the Dead :lol:

[Jon]

I count 17 with over 12,000 posts now. Scottes with 7 posts away from being 18. and 3 other members within a few hundred more posts away.
Way to revive a 2-year old thread!

[Scottes]

I think the highest I ever reached was 4th, but that didn't last long...

[belmondo]

I think the highest I ever reached was 4th, but that didn't last long...Actually, I seem to recall you passed me briefly and were third for a while.

I soon mastered typing "Nice shot," and passed you up again.

[Scottes]

But I *still* have a cooler Avatar.

:lol:

[belmondo]

But I *still* have a cooler Avatar.

:lol:No argument there.;)

[Ronald S. Jr.]

Turns out I'm #12 for posts. It's quickly changing, though. People that used to be far behind me are ahead of me now. It's those warp speed chat threads. I don't take part, so I'm falling behind. :-)

Oh, and Bugster, moderators, as far as I know, can't change titles. Only admins. So unless one or more moderators have been given admin access, they didn't do it.

[condyk]

Thanks for clarifying that Ronald. I was sincerely concerned about your rapidly falling status. But fear not my fiend, soon the BSOTN posse(s) will split off, accelerating away from the planet earth at chat-speed five to form its own universe and taking at least 50% of the Mods with it. That will leave POTN to continue lighter, faster, smarter and your rightful place will be restored ;-) You could become the new Belrondo, right hand to Cyber and with bannin' rights to rival Tommy?

[thomascanty]

Oh, and Bugster, moderators, as far as I know, can't change titles. Only admins. So unless one or more moderators have been given admin access, they didn't do it.

They can make suggestions to an admin, though... ;)

[tommykjensen]

I have said it before and will gladly repeat it. All moderators can change title ;)

:lol: Just want to keep you all guessing who the TF really is :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not sure, Dave, but I really think there's an insult buried somewhere in that all that.:confused: If you really think I need to be replaced, a slightly more direct statement might have more impact.:p

Belmondo must go!!

[thomascanty]

I have said it before and will gladly repeat it. All moderators can change title ;)

You've also said (and repeated) that they can't, Tommy... A year or so ago, when the TF started his rampage around here... ;)

Or, did the latest software upgrade change that? :lol:

Did I?? I was wrong :lol:

Sure.. Sure... I believe you! ;)

[tommykjensen]

1 down 119,213 to go..........

[condyk]

Belmondo must go!!

Nah, you're a good lad ... BTW your skin colour resembles very closely that of Jake aka MC CyberD for much of the Africa trip. Without his personal nurse Sari I doubt he'd have made it back ;)

[Jon]

Well, so can anybody else . . .

[thomascanty]

Well, so can anybody else . . .

Yeah, but you mods have that sooper sekrit forum you can run to where you have his undivided attention. Us peons have to post our suggestions out in the open and just hope the TF wanders by and notices it.

[SHULTSIE!!!]

bunch of preMODonnas...

[SHULTSIE!!!]

ges kiddin!

[Ronald S. Jr.]

Well on the forum I moderate, I was told that I had been given admin rights, and I've noticed a few. However, when I enter the mod CP, I can find a user, edit the title, but I can't save it. Care to say how that's done? I can't find it in the vbulletin documentation. There should supposedly be a "save prefs" button or the like, but I don't see it.

[Skip Souza]

You can't? Maybe they was only funnin' you :lol:

[Ronald S. Jr.]

:p

Come on, seriously!

[SHULTSIE!!!]

Worrying too much about that...

[Jon]

Yeah, but you mods have that sooper sekrit forum you can run to where you have his undivided attention. Us peons have to post our suggestions out in the open and just hope the TF wanders by and notices it.Nah. We suggest 'em the same way anyone else can. We may watch a little more closely, but that's what we're paid for.

[blonde]

What is the lowest poster to get title fairied? Maybe I don't have enough of a personality around here yet to get titled.:evil:;)

if the TF was here, your new title would have been "not enough personality" already...

[Reefbone]

All I see is a red x. :rolleyes:

I think you have to have 15k posts to do it. ;)

i dont think they ever said it was a he.

[thomascanty]

i dont think they ever said it was a he.

Well, I've been told there are only two people who can do it. Both are "hes". And, Mo, the only female moderator here, has denied any involvement several times. But, apparently they're changing their minds about who can do what around here. :rolleyes:

:lol: :lol:

Tell you what Lonnie, YOU get sideways with Mo and see how it goes :shock: Yeah, it is safer at a distance :lol:
Since there have been personnel changes in the Mod Squad there have also been adjustments in the power levels ;)

No one is safe anymore BUWAHAHAHA




Gotta go hide under a rock :p

[thomascanty]

Oooh... I'ma skeered now! Where's my rock?!? :p

:lol: :lol:

well as the old saying goes "deny everything, admit to nothing" ;)

[belmondo]

If you look back over my posting history, you'll notice that whenever I refer to the title Fairy (Faerie) in the third person, I always refer to him/her as 'him/her.' He/she deserves to have his/her identity kept confidential.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled speculation.

[belmondo]

What are you really saying? That the TF is androgynous (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/androgyny)? :eek:

BTW, what happened to the sickly avatar?Mine's still there. Where's yours?

[belmondo]

Hmm...I'm using my dad's PC while in town so maybe his security settings are whacked. Another thing to add to the list of stuff...

Thanks for the feedback.

Oh well.

BTW, get back to Wisconsin. You have mail.

[Dr D]

Out of interest, is it only moderators that can change their membership status? I see above that there are statuses of "Triggerman retired", "Brick Layer" etc...

[T.D.]

Those changes are made by a being known only as the "Title Fairy."

[Ronald S. Jr.]

far as I can tell, only administrators or moderators with some admin rights can change titles.

[the_incubus]

haha i believe thats what this entire thread was about.:lol:

And then the chief shut down the TFISO. (title fairy identity speculation organization) Now im out of a job. :D:p

[_aravena]

You had a job?

[FuryMe]

So will the official Title for the 30k plus crowd? I know you are all custom clad at the moment, but someone will hit it eventually.

[thomascanty]

Someone will hit what eventually? 30K? You aren't paying much attention, are you? There are already three in that elite group...

Oh, wait... You mean 30,000K? That's gonna take a while.

[FuryMe]

I made my 1st mistake ever and you caught it, I did say 30,000k should be 30K. But I also mentioned those at that milestone have Custom Clad titles already.

[Jon]

So will the official Title for the 30k plus crowd? I know you are all custom clad at the moment, but someone will hit it eventually.Actually, no, we aren't. At least as of this moment I'm not, by choice. The closeest non-Moderator is 6500 posts away, so still has time to slip up.

[michaelgreen78]

as of this moment I'm not, by choice.

By choice?? You mean, you actually spoke to the TF and asked her to not give you a custom title? You are honoured!

[belmondo]

By choice?? You mean, you actually spoke to the TF and asked her to not give you a custom title? You are honoured!One does not speak to the Title Fairy. One prays to the Title Fairy.

[Jon]

By choice?? You mean, you actually spoke to the TF and asked her to not give you a custom title? You are honoured!No. Moderators, however, can change their own (but not others') titles. If the TF graced me with something, I could revert to my job description at the drop of a hat.

[CyberDyneSystems]

Yes and no,. i've had my title hit before with no recourse of my own...
The TF has some mysterious powers for sure...

[tommykjensen]

No. Moderators, however, can change their own (but not others') titles. If the TF graced me with something, I could revert to my job description at the drop of a hat.

Ohh I wouldn't say something like that in the forum. I have a feeling that the TF is also capable of removing your ability to reset your custom title :p

[Cadwell]

I try to avoid meddling in the affairs of fairies...

[michaelgreen78]

Are you a fairyphobic?? ;)

[bikinicenter]

Posting that many times seems like it would take quite long. I'm not sure If I'll get there anytime soon. Howcome this forum doesn't seem to have a welcome area where people can say hi and introduce themselves?

[Anke]

Because the only people in that area would be people saying "hello, I'm new", there would be nobody to listen. Would you hang around in an Hello I'm New thread if you'd been here for years?
Jumping in amongst everyone else is the best way.

[Skip Souza]

Hi there Nadine and welcome to POTN.
You are right about not having a "New Member" forum. Usually such threads are started in the "General Chat" forum.

[belmondo]

On smaller forums, that idea works out okay, but in one this size, things move way too fast. I agree, the immersion method works best. Just pick a conversation that looks interesting, and dive in.
