this was my original question but LaraMJ answered it

Whenever you join your junior for about 3 weeks then you go to member for about 3-4 weeks then before 3 months from joining your a senior. I think you should be a junior and member for a longer time.

It's based simply on the amount of posts one has. It's not based on time. It also does not have anything to do with the computer experience one has, just how much one posts on TSG, in ANY of the forums.

[ferrija1]

ok let me change the question...

[ferrija1]

never mind

[loserOlimbs]

What, you want to be a Junior member a little longer?


(They grow up so fast ! )

[ferrija1]

no I didn't want to be a senior so quick...

[cristobal03]

It's a decent point though. Junior until, what, 10? Member until 30? Senior until 2,000

chris.

[edit]
Maybe it's 30, 100, 2,000? It's been a while.

[ferrija1]

[loserOlimbs]

Well, we are all waiting for the next level...
That way Cristobal03 can have another Congrats thread!

At times the "status" of a member may be deceiving to a person seeking help.

I recently observed a post where a member with maybe 400 posts was trying to help a person with a problem. Apparently, his answers did not satisfy the "poster" and he or she stated something to the effect that he or she would wait for a mod or "distinguished" member for advice.

I know of one member who joined late 2005 and now has near 1800 posts, all seeking help, never providing solutions. At this rate this person will soon have the "status" of a "distinguished" member and barely knows how to turn on or shut down a machine.

TSG should note somewhere? that the "status" or the number of posts by a responder does not necessarily indicate the competence or experience of the responder.

[ferrija1]

hmm... good point

What are Moderators/Administrators?
Moderators and Administrators oversee this web site and try to keep things in line. They have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a Moderator is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in their field. The existing Moderators pick new ones by a private vote.
