Get Rid Of The Junior

[Dead Wood Records]

I want to be an adult!

[Jim]

Trevor, you of all people, will be the first one to achieve 'Member' Status. All it takes is 15 posts to the system and your status will change automatically.

This should take you roughly 1 hour.

Jim, I agree with Trevor on this one. Some of us are too busy to send all those posts to graduate to "MEMBER." Why not drop the number from 15 to 5 or 7. What the hell an arbitrary number is an arbitrary number.

[Jim]

I think 15 is a pretty attainable number of posts. That's two messages a day for a week.

Most people post three or four messages in one visit. That's only three or four visits.

Don't feel bad about being a junior. We're all juniors for the first 15 posts.

OK Jim, but I feel silly posting this one just so I can get up to 15

HOT DAMN! Finally made it to MEMBER and got rid of my "Junior." As one of the Barrymores said "at last I am leggitimate, won't mother be proud!"

What about folks who have been regulars on this site for years? Now the site changed, and we are all 'juniors"....Honestly, I don't care, but I'd rather see the "job-description" of the person then his/her "hierarchy-status" on this site. I care more about what he/she does and where they live and work - of course, I can go to profile and check it out, but why? What if I don't know that I can see the profile by clicking on the grey icon? Why not say "John, magician, Seattle" instead of "John, junior member"? But it's really not a big deal, I'm just very happy that this site exists and Jim is doing such a great volunteer work for all of us...he really should get a non-profit status and solicit donations - I bet some of us would send him a check once in a while, I know I may on a good day...Pass the hat, Jim, none of us, free spirits, will ever pay a membership fee, but we may come out with a hat of international currency...

[Jim]

OK Fine.

I'm changing ONE word. Instead of "Junior" member, I'm going to try "New" member.

New Members still last for the first 15 posts. I don't care what you say; if you've posted less than 15 times, you're still 'new' here. I never really did like the Junior...

Jim

P.S. Anyone have suggestions to replace "Member"?

[martin ewen]

I propose 8 levels starting with 'humble supplicant' and moving up through an extensive screening process over 2 years wherein members of performers.net come to your home and stay for months at a time documenting your validity, till finally after a suitabily humiliating group bonding ritual in the continent of your choice you recieve full admission and get to have' The Exalted' under your name.
Damn this headache, do tumors feel salty?

Perhaps we should also have a sacred title for those older, "refuse to lie down" members, those veterans like Nelson, Jim, Nicholas, Voice, Gazzo, Sheridan and "he who would be Younger".
Maybe "Master Masturbateur"
I, personally, was quite happy to be a "Junior Member" in such company.

[Jim]

Martin,

You know, all I really have to do is open up a form and change ONE freakin' line of code to update the listings.

I kind of like the sound of:

Jim
The Exalted

Hmmmm.....

What's the big deal? Does everyone have an inferiority complex that they can't take being junior or new? If we just keep posting normally, we'll all get to be full fledged members eventually.

[worldwidese]

BINGO! HUZZAH! HIP HIP HOORAY! I feel great! With my last post I made member status! WOW!!!

[grOmmet]

When you get to a certain age / vintage or state of mind.. it doesn't matter WHAT your "official" status is, SURELY??

It's a shame to see people posting for the sake of posting..

.. I mean.. if you've worked the streets.. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU GET CALLED!!! [and we can even turn THAT to our advantage!!]

A wise person once said..

"Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people THINK you are stupid, rather than opening it and confirming how stupid you ARE!!"

I rest my rucksack!

Custom User Titles - User titles are the "Member," "New Member," "Administrator" titles under your user name in your posts. If you have more than 100 posts to your name, you are eligible to add a CUSTOM title like "Throbbing Member" or "Large Member" or "p.net addict!" or "I Love Jim" or any words you want. Have fun with that. Go to your USER/CP and click "edit profile" to make changes.
