How to become a full member

Sorry to be dense, but... I keep seeing references to being a "full member" but I have not seen any discussions about how to attain that status or what it means. I gather that it opens certain forums that are otherwise invisible, but I could use a tutorial.

I know the info is on the site somewhere, so maybe somebody could just point me to it.

Thanks

Did you read the giant all-caps sticky in this forum that says READ ME FIRST?

MEMBERSHIP ADVANCEMENT AND FEATURES


Member participation is strongly encouraged and rewarded, though we insist that you make your contribution to the TFP as meaningful as possible. Please do not post frivolously to achieve status. Our economy does not run on post counts.

The TFP has many private forums that are not accessible to new users. They are more private, sensitive and community oriented in nature and so we have a very strict screening process to gain access to them.

After a brief probation period (one month at the VERY LEAST), users are reviewed by our moderators to determine if they are mature enough to participate in the private forums.

Infractions of TFP policy will hinder your review and may indefinately postpone it.

When you join, you are allowed to have an avatar.

250 worthwhile posts will earn you an animated avatar. 500 worthwhile posts and at least three months of membership will earn you a custom title. You CANNOT attain these extra privileges if you have not been promoted.

Thanks to everyone for answering my question. I think I get it, but it could certainly be made more clear. I did read the section that TwistedMosaic asked about but found it pretty vague. I think the moderators could tighten that language up a bit.

it's not vague at all. It's quite clear to what I distilled it as. You want an exact road map?

I remember when becoming a full member was much more difficult.

If you want to know about Becoming... I suggest the movie Tommyknockers by Stephen King. They cover it in great detail there.

How true.

Act like an adult, contribute to the conversations you find interesting and start conversations, if you see fit. It's pretty simple.

There is no one answer to cover everyone who signs up. Some people may progress through the ranks faster than others for very good reasons. Some people may not progress at all. Quality is and always has been more important than quantity.

If you have specific questions, you can always ask them here, another thread or by PM'ing a mod or admin.

You remember wrong. The requirements for becoming a full member have only progressed in one direction: getting harder (that said, it's not particularly hard). Originally, it was only after a certain number of posts. Then that post number was raised (I'm not going to say what it is, but the number is still reasonably low all things considered). Then it was made so that posts in places like the Erogenous Zone and Tilted Nonsense don't count. Then staff review was added into the mix. And now, it requires a certain number of counted posts, being here for a minimum of one month, and staff review. Relatively speaking, becoming a full member is much more difficult now than it ever was. Chances are, you think it is easier now because, despite being more difficult to actually become a full member (a meaningful promotion), it is easier to have an avatar now (it used to require 250 posts, now it's available to everyone). Ultimately, though, which do you think is more important? A silly little picture next to your name, or access to the couple full member forums? And those full member forums don't even count Tilted Exhibition, whose requirements are above even those of becoming a full member.

That said, I wouldn't let it worry you, nonplussed. You're not missing anything that would make the site a totally different experience for you, so if you like the site, stick around, and participate in meaningful discussion, you'll become a full member fairly quickly Being a full member isn't some super secret society, and we're eager to include more people - we just like to take the time and be sure those people already know what the site is about before doing so. From the looks of it, you're already off to a good start

To answer a question you posed in a thread in the Erogenous Zone (probably more appropriate to answer it here anyway)...

It does not have to do with membership level. My guess is that the images were just not working at that time for whatever reason. That happens fairly frequently, because images posted to the Erogenous Zone are hotlinked from elsewhere (which means TFP doesn't host them). When you come across a thread where the images don't work like that, click the report post button () and let us know. As for the specific thread you posted that question to, the images look to be working now. (If they're still not working for you, I have no idea why that is, but you can rest assured it's not anything on our end )

That's all we've ever asked of anyone. You will not get early membership if you're a hot girl willing to get naked, no matter how much Bill O'Rights thinks you look like Alyson Hannigan. I say that in jest, but I know that there's been a recent rumor to the contrary, and it's not true.

You will not get early membership if you refer a bunch of people. You will not get early membership if you are best friends with a moderator. You will not get early membership if you are my biggest client. You will not get early membership if you (maybe especially if) you're Halx's sister.

If you are an active member, you will earn it yourself. Just like anything worth having.

I know I haven't been here long, but I think I got the idea down. Don't think of it as a level that you need to obtain, but rather think of full membership as an added benifit later on.

Just enjoy what this has to offer now and you'll acheive the benefit of full membership later on down the road. It's like a probation period, but without limitation to posting.

The test to achieve full membership! (is this a bad point to mention I didn't read the new member stuff and just started posting?)

ARTHUR:
What is this test, O Knights of-- knights who till recently said 'ni'?
HEAD KNIGHT:
Firstly, you must find... another shrubbery!

ARTHUR:
Not another shrubbery!
RANDOM:
Ni!
HEAD KNIGHT:
Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
KNIGHTS OF NI:
A path! A path! A path! Ni! Shh! Ni! Ni! Ni! Shh! Shh!...
HEAD KNIGHT:
Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!
