Wondering what the criteria is for reaching the next level of VJ membership from Gold to Platinum and Platinum to ?

Rob

Induction into The Brotherhood. There's an animal sacrifice and a couple of secret handshakes

Seriously - its dependent on your total number of posts.

That is what I thought. I have over 600, my status changed to Goldmember at 400, why no change in over 200 posts?

Rob

Not sure - I think the post milestone for that is larger. Someone else might know the actual number.

Oh, so all these resurrected threads tonight were for a post count? I'm shocked

Yeah Right!

Rob

I didn't even realize there were levels. Learn something new every day.

Guess there's no hope for me, then. I'm a lazy poster...

Better to be a lazy poster than a post whore...

Next level is 750....I believe its Platinum,....thats the level where you get to write something apart from gold member, or whatever under your avatar pic.

Jodee

Where do you write something? Cant seem to find it?

My Controls --> Edit Profile Information --> Custom Member Title

Go to Edit Profile Information, it is the first box, or follow Jenn, she did it WAY better than I....*grins*

Thanks guys i nearly have 900 posts and did not even realise i could change the title!!! Now what to put *thinks of something witty* lol

Don't you know it!

That's the downside of having a post count reward system. There's limited features until you 'earn' Platinum status and even a meter to measure a members 'value'. A simple join date and post count would be fine and probably cut down on post whoring.

You know, I have noticed that a few people here are very quick to decide or insinuate that someones post are "whoring". Why are other people's efforts whoring but some of your efforts more worthy?

The same people that condemn other people's faith and love for God when they express it here on VJ are the very same ones that are mean spirited and nasty in their comments.

You who look so closely at other people's faults dont forget about your own... Seems like you need a Savior just as bad as me

Rob

Just don't count off-topic posts towards your member status. Easy fix.

I think My Little Pony Level is after Diamond.

I can't wait!


@Rob&Melinda: if you resurrect every poll posted since the inception of the new VJ site, and do so in the span of about two days, people are going to suspect you're into a bit of post whoring.

What gives you the right to decide what is "off topic?" There are alot of posts that are great subjects that I have just now seen that I have responded to. That brings them up to the current subject window and many others respond also.

If these old subjects should not be responded to or brought up again, then why are they still listed here on this forum?

Sorry but I think some of you have mis judged why people make resposes and post here.

I simply took a look at my controls section and noticed that I had over 600 posts and began to wonder what the levels actually were.

Rob

I must confess that I am a

You wrote: "I confess I am a Post Whore"


Ah an honest man/woman?

By the way, seems like I have seen the question asked here what the motivation was for making posts and many people said "It's ll about the hearts" At the time I didn't know what that meant, but now I understand.

How shallow we have become when our life''s joy is getting more hearts on VJ. But now that I know what this is all albout, you bet I will be a Post whore too, seems like I am in good company

Rob

At times I find myself post Ho'ing especially whne I'm close to getting the next . Its funny to see others wreck their brains about how many and where (OT) people acquire their posts. As for me I could care less, that's what keeps it fun.

i am not a post ho

What LS is saying is that any posts that you make in the Off Topic section of VJ should not be counted under your post total, not that he is deciding what is Off Topic.

Works for me.

Ah, another notch on my post count but Dean is about 5000 ahead of me so there is a long way to go!

and i'm catching up

I agree - posts in OT should not be counted for post counts.

What IS IT with all the resurrected posts lately????

I think everyone should just write congratulatory to everyone!

All posts should count, it takes a lot of effort typing all this crap in

Like you do a million times a day? Half the time I bet you don't even know what you are congratualting for????


Why?

Again, count for what? to show who is the most bored at work - a heart is earned, thats it. (or is there a VJ member of the year award, no one is telling us about

Why ask Why ?

posts just so savanphil can post again extra cheesy>



edited so you know...and thats not a knock down.

Trust me it takes a lot more than that to ruffle my feathers

But that was a seriuos question, I really am confused why someone would question someone about saying congratulations to everyone. I would understand if it was something rude or offensive, but I mean good grief. Why not share in someone's happiness, no matter if I know them or not. This whole process can be frustrating, grueling and stressful. So if somone's happy or wants to celebrate for any reason... . Even if I don't know them...

I agree I love sharing in everyone elses happiness it gives me hope and also makes me happier if only for a few minutes.Its a long hard grueling but worthwhile definately worthwhile process and everyone should have the laughter joy happiness and smiles for all the blood sweat and tears shed..who knows you may find a great friend in the process.

Sharing a happy moment is a wonderful encouragement to the person who receives it. When I was beginning here and didnt know a thing about the process, it was those congratulations that kept me in the race and coming back here for more encouragement.

Rob

this is my 49th post right here. i'm a long way away from anything. i need to work on being more of a whore, eh?

hey wasino..if you respond back to this one, that will give you 50.

Hi! I was wondering why some of us have different member status levels.....

Post count.

Wonder whatever happened to Rob and Melinda..................

Thanks Mags, for finally putting up the site with ranks and explanation. I just registered the other day, and wondered what the boxes and hearts were all about.
