Junior member wishes to be senior member..
 

Hrm.. I keep seeing all these nice descriptions saying "junior member", or "frequent contributer", or etc.. anyone know how ya change that cuz I hate being a junior member... :(

i believe it's based on post count, but brandon has been rather vauge in the exact numbers.

to be a senior i posted 185 times...

Its like 50 non chit-chat posts to be a senior member
100 non chitchat posts to be a frequent member
and 150 non chitchat posts to be a Post-a-Holic

I'm pretty sure he said this before, but I can't find the thread about that.

It's in the FAQ:

0-50 posts: Junior Member
50-100 posts: Frequent Contributor
100-150 posts: Senior Member
150+ Post-A-Holic (or custom).

There are other factors which contribute to the levels, besides number of posts. How long you have been a member, and any rule violations both play a part.

in other words:

Add up all your posts, subtract the chit-chat, subtract a few points for every time I've had to erase/edit your post or warn you about something. Thats the 'undocumented number' I've spoke of in the past.

Lol.. well whaddya know.. there's a FAQ! I was looking for it the other day and didn't see it.. but of course that little button is rather hard to see..
