    What are the membership levels?

    This questions seems to come up often enough so I thought I would make this post. The following is the criteria to reach the different membership levels:

    Candidate Members: 0 Posts

    Junior Members: 50 Posts
    Full Member: 100 Posts
    Senior Member: 500 Posts
    Vetern Member: 1000 Posts
    Elite Member: 2000 Posts

    Happy posting everybody |

    Do your levels change automatically or does a moderator have to move you up? And thanks!

    It should change automatically, although I'm not sure why you're still at the candidate level when you should now be a "New Member". Maybe the software just needs a little time to catch up.

    I figured out why it still lists scootergirl as a "Candidate Member" even though she now has 25 posts. It seems that the membership levels changed when we converted the forum to the new software.

    Here are the new membership levels:

    Candidate Member: 0 Posts
    Member: 30 Posts
    Junior Member: 100 Posts
    Full Member: 200 Posts
    Senior Member: 500 Posts
    Veteran Member: 1000 Posts
    Elite Member: 2000 Posts

    I was trying to find out why I'm still a "Candidate" member? Now, I understand due to the New Membership Levels. Just wondered because I sure don't feel like a Candidate. So, I'll just have to "jabber" a bit so I can feel like a Member, eh?

    Congratulations Lee. Now I have one more Ha Ha. Personally, I never really put much stock in Membership Levels. It's what people say, more than how much they say. You know what I mean??

    It may set another new low temp record here in Aurora, CO tonight. I'm sure getting sick of this.

    You are correct. The criteria listed at the top is from when the forum was on the old VBulletin platform. It is inaccurate.

    Here is the current criteria:

    Candidate Member: 0 Posts
    New Member: 30 Posts
    Junior Member: 100 Posts
    Full Member: 200 Posts
    Senior Member: 500 Posts

    I think we need some additional membership levels. I of course have a few ideas.

    5,000 posts = Distinguished Member
    10,000 posts = Preeminent Member
    20,000 posts = Transcendental Member
    40,000 posts = Likely to be Divorced Member
    50,000 posts = Needs an Intervention Member
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank

    I do research for a living and it seems the membership levels are out of order. I would think it SHOULD BE candidate member, junior member, MEMBER, etc. Junior member should come before member.

    for example, i am a MEMBER now, that looks great. when i am promoted bec of 100 posts, i am now a Junior member. seems like a demotion rather than a promotion. so, i will try to keep my posts below 100 to stay a member and not move to junior. lol

    "freshman member" didn't sound right but we opted to remove the first part
