Question regarding 'rating'

[scrollgirl]

OK, I know I am kind of "new" here and I really, really did look for the answer but couldn't find it in anything here.

Underneath our names on the side bar, I used to have 'Newbie' with a star.  OK, I thought.  I am 'new' so that fits.  Now I am a 'Jr. Member' with two stars.  I also see 'Senior Member' and other names with the stars.  I assume that Steve is the 'Grand Poobah' (from those of you who remember the 'Flintstones').  So my question is this . . . could someone please explain to me how this system works?  What did I do to earn the "Jr. Member" rank? 

Thanks so much for your clarification!

Shelia, it all has to do with how many posts you post.   I have learned this from other forums and Steve's is no different.  So keep on posting.

    Srollgirl. Cheries right. I had the same question a couple of weeks ago. I really don't like being a rookie. Dave

hi sheila,
cherie is correct, it depends on how many posts you post. graybeard posted this to a similar question to steve the other day:

Newbie - 1 to 50 posts
Jr. Member - 51 to 99 posts
Full Member - 100 plus posts

hope this helps.

Ohhhh . . . I see . . . So here they REWARD you for talking a lot!  (Unlike the Chicago Public School System where I got 'check marks' on the back of my report card for talking too much!)

I'm gonna like this place!

As others have pointed out it is determined by the amount of your posts. 
Newbie - 1 to 50 posts
Jr. Member - 51 to 99 posts
Full Member - 100 plus posts

So Russ, your a senior citizen then?  LOLx100.

Ha-Ha-Ha  cherie. Very funny. Just remember it is not nice to mess with Global Moderators. LOL..LOL..LOL 

[cherie]

Russ, I guess I do not have to worry until you become the universe Moderator?

[ripchief]

So then, what are the stars all about?

[Russ C]

FYI: The prefix global or universe is not where the power is. They only reflect on the number of members we moderate. A Moderators power does not strengthen nor does it diminish. It remains constant.

I am just picking on you Russ.  LOL.  I know where your power stands and would never over step my boundaries.  After all I am a good girl.
