    Its all in how many posts you make (except for the moderators)Once you post 40 or so your a member, 100 or so is a senior meber, and then I dont know how many makes you an excecutive?

    I just flash for the halibut!

    Heyas projectecho! Welcome to our community!

    Make 30 postings, become a "Member"
    Make 100 postings, become a "Senior Member"
    Make 200 (250?) postings, become an "Executive Member" and endure the referrals to "viagra" after each posting...

    To be a moderator you must be invited. Kinda like asking "Why do I choose to hurt myself?"

    Again, welcome! If you need help, just post those questions!

    I just post for the halibut!

    Basically, if the current moderators feel that you're a benefit to our community by helping others, and you've had a "decent amount" of postings, and have earned the respect of the moderators....then they may invite you (adduser?) you as a moderator, giving you a higher degree of control over this forum. You'd be able to delete postings and perform other trusted functions not open to the "regular" community. Therefore, Moderators are chosen not only based on number of posts, but also taken into consideration is the "quality" of those posts, especially in terms of establishing trust.

    And regarding moderators with 30 posts, I asked the same question myself...the person is a moderator in another forum on this zoo, and was invited by the moderators of this forum (the lounge).

    That's the way *I* understand it, hope it helps

    Usually a post gets a reply in 2-5 minutes.
    This community is very active.
    Also you will find that there is virtually no flame wars.
    As a matter a fact there has been only 1 or 2
    in about 5 months and with over 10,000 members that is saying something.
    Everyone helps out.
    Everyone is very friendly.

    Pope, I would have asked for much more than that!

    Just to clarify:
    New Member (Minimum Posts: 0)
    Member (Minimum Posts: 30)
    Senior Member (Minimum Posts: 100)
    Executive Member (Minimum Posts: 250)
    FK Team (Minimum Posts: 500)
    FK Flash Guru (Minimum Posts: 1000)

    The moderators are chosen by Mark based on their quality and quantity of posts and the recommendations of other moderators. (ie 1000 useless posts won't get you moderator status)

    The other point about moderators is that they are specific to particular threads on the board ie Pope and Guru are moderators in the Help forums on the board as this is where their skills lie.

    Also Guru was spot on about some moderators with low posts being FK Team members, they are also the ones with admin on the board aswell so watch out!!!

    OK, maybe I'll change that one, what do you suggest? Flash Ninja?

    I agree though, these catgories may need some re-working soon because the board is growing out of control.
