It's been 8 months, CG. You haven't been able to beat it out of him yet?
Nice avatar, btw. ;)

mmmm, cake. :D

There is no shame in being a rookie!

Well, yes, there is that :) My question is at long last put to rest. And crack, since you made us all cringe, you have to make it up to me :D

I want to get rid of this rookie status as well

Why? That rookie title means nothing.

I'm not sure what you expect the mods & admins to do. You have been a member for 1 year, 2 months, and 15 days. In that time you have managed to make 11 posts which they considered worthy enough to be a contributing post to the forum.

It comes down to how much you want to contribute to the forum. In checking the site, you actually have 350 posts here. Sadly, you rarely left the Titty Board when you had access to it. There is so much more here to read and be involved in. Join the rest of us in the other sections of the forum, contribute posts which are more than one sentence and you will see your status change.

^ well said. Thanks :)

The bottom line

Contribute to the site.
Post valuable information, or share stories, or ask questions.

Then sometime, when you least expect it, you'll look beside your name and realize it changed from Rookie, without you even realizing it.

The bottom line is, it really doesn't matter - I'm not suddenly awash in congratulations because I popped my rookie cherry - I'm just another member, same as I was when I had the rookie tag, and I still keep contributing as best I am able, when I have something relavant to say.

Sammy

even a more bottom line...

don't act like a jerk...be a real person, and live here like you are one...

Tilted it like it's hot, yo!
I like that analogy!
I'm even more impressed with the staff here for evaluating status on an individual basis. I mean, this is a lot of people to manage.
Also, that means I've been noticed. I feel special.

hmm ... you shouldn't feel special :p

seems to be an onging misconception ...

User Title (Rookie, Tilted, etc) is post-count based.
worthwhile posts ... there are a couple forums where posts do not count towards this total. Nonsense, for example. Why should be obvious.

User Title is part of the board software, and is automatic.

Your status generally refers to the mysterious full member privelige.

these 2 things are somewhat dependent (notable contributions are a 'filter' for the status processing) ...
('Status' is indeed on a case-by-case basis).

but they are 2 different things.

and, above all ... don't worry about it!
Just hang out, participate, enjoy yourself. That is what really matters.

Thank you for that specific and unabiguous information, it's what I was looking for in this thread in the first place.

I'm a rookie, who gives a fark

Rookie, eh, for now. This place has a better feel to it than most forums because:
1 - I go to school with a load of closed minded, hypocritical, cliche junkies that couldn't have a creative or unique thought if it came up and beat them with a bat,
2 - I see some here like the band Finch, specifically "What it is to Burn" :sings to self "...Like a bad star, I'm falling faster..." ,
3 - :high pitched: some of these avatars are so cool! :coughs: I mean...
4 - Where is the crazy science freaks--I mean nerd club--Tilted Science!... I have an idea to discuss with them...

I love this place

Discuss away Augi.....General Discussion is the place

I was a newbie for ages, and although i'm only 1 step up, I have enjoyed every post that I've added to. This is the only forum i've ever been part of that allows me to share my own thoughts, yet also get ideas and new information and ideaologies from. Don't worry about what status you are within this forum, but wonder how you can contribute and become a worthy part of our community.... that added, it has to be said that i'm nothing compared to the great moderators, who have obviously been chosen for the right reasons, and they also add a massive contribution... (and i'm not kissing arse because its not something i do)

become a part of the discussions, and enjoy

<3 all round

The one thing that impressed me most about this forum was the span of topics. Most forums have maybe two or three thread topics, so it can be very limiting. Then if you post something general, it gets lost. Here that doesn't happen.

yup that would be me :D

I dont like being a rookie either.

Status doesn't matter. Everyone has their own ideas and things to say. It doesn't matter if you are a rookie or a superstar. Everyone here will listen.

Im a rookie too. Trying to earn the Calder trophy. Wait, the NHL is closed for business so I guess they wont be giving that one out this year.

When can I post my own attachments?

You can post attachments in the forums you currently have access to which accept them.....the rest will come with time, and quality contribution

I'm the worst

a rookie lurker

Just keep posting quality stuff you'll get there.

Its tuff being a rookie, i want to post attachments also, but can't. I also read more than I post.....oh well, still hooping to advance.....

Attachments are only allowed in the Creativity section.

I woud like access to the titty board again also.I know i have not posted alot,but i havevisited alot and enjoyed reading the threads.I have been a member for quite a while.

um.....you have Two (2) posts that can be considered for your upgrade......that is in nearly a year. The title of this thread is "how to increase TFP status".

If the famed tittie board is your reason to "enjoy" this community, I think you will be waiting for a very long time......no offense intended, just reality.

There are plenty of people here who would like to access those areas of TFP but it still comes down to participation. Halx has made it quite clear that just showing up and expecting to get everything for nothing is not going to happen. Participation and discussion in the rest of the community is a must. Its been stated many times before but it can't hurt to say it again....if all you want to see is porn than search the web because there are plenty of other sites out there which will suit your needs. If you are willing to participate in TFP as a whole, read through the rules and it will tell you exactly what is needed to access the other areas of TFP.

I noticed when clicking on threads in my control panel that my count sat at 99. Now, if number of posts = status this particular submission/post of mine will/would trigger some sort of greater state jump.

- The avatar of Tecoyah (long may he moderate ... ohhhmmuuummm ... ) will gesture in a simple yet wonderous way, thus giving me a benison.

- The gestures benevolent and entitling will emanate in a golden light from my laptop here, and a mantle of rectitude and TFP entitlement will settle about my suddenly broader and more authoratative shoulders.

Here goes nothing, folks.

Thats crazy :thumbsup:

And so.....in accordance with the great writtings and codes of the all powerful Halx, thus another becomes welcomed into the realm of craziness. Yea, all feel the power of the title, and bow before the century note of the wonderous kramus.....that we may see his contibutions to this place, and know him to be no longer a newbie.....and indeed welcome him into the folds of Tilted embrace.

I sure hope that i don't have to. :o

Rookies is, as Rookies does...

For some reason, I recall reading that the magic number was 50. It's 100?

50 washes away the rookie title......not that it is a bad thing in the first place.
