smileyeyes Junior Member Offline ..what goes around - comes around Posts: 97 ~ ESSEX ~ Gender:	Newbie (titles) Jul 9^th, 2010 at 11:04am I have tried looking for the answer to my question, but please forgive me if I have overlooked it somewhere, or if I've posted this is the wrong section.. Am just wondering, is there a page that shows the various titles ie Newbie with 1* and how long it takes to go up the ladder and earn new titles? Thanks

I don't believe it says anywhere about this and I don't know what the thresholds are either.

Do you want to know when you will no longer be a "Newbie"? Huh

A quick glance around the forum suggests that the number of postings required to progress through the ranks of membership may be as follows:
50 = Junior, 100 = Full, 250 = Senior, 500 = Supreme.

It is all based on quantity (number of postings), rather than quality. These are set by the forum administration, which may also assign specific groupings should it wish. There are a number of members who may wish for rank, and even continued membership, to be decided on a more democratic basis.

To offer a personal view; as the number of posts are shown to give readers some impression of the scale of a member's contributions and the content speaks for itself, the fact that the former is turned into a label need not be a matter of a concern.

If looking to make a few postings to gain promotion, discussion of this item may be of interest to some members - http://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2010-07-06b.5363.h.

I can confirm that these values are correct.
