In the FAQ forum on SA:
Posted by
Newbie, Advanced User, and all that is tied directly to the number of posts that a user has made.
It is set to "Newbie", 0 posts, when the account is created. It has nothing to do with how long you've been hanging around SA on the old forum or anything. It only reflects how active you have been since the new forum opened. It appear you have to make 10 posts to be a "Member" and 30 to make it to "Advanced Member". Nothing is known beyond that...how many posts until you have a "Special Member" or "Super Member"  .Post like you usually do, your rating will change. Li'l Dawg is definitely not a Newbie!

Here is the system for the stars, it is according to the number of posts. So you now know how many comments you have to make to get more!

I think Haggis should be given the last title already Sweepstake: How long before haggis gets 4 stars? I reckon it'll be about two months at this rate, any other offers? ------------- FLAT IS FAST! Shifts Happen |

| I think Mr Burns is going to have to add more stars or else Haggis is going to run out of things to aspire to... or just employ him as he's clearly missed his calling by not becoming a journo. |

I think u all need to get a life if u haven't got anything better to do than trying to get more stars u should be very worried. Haggis really needs to get a life sending messages in forums is quite sad (I feel dirty sending this one and its my first)

If that's what you think then you really should be somewhere else rather than 'wasting your time reading forum messages' Seems to smack of hypocrisy? If you don't want to send messages in a forum then steer clear but don't criticise others for it! |
