how to u become a better member e.g. i am a newbie how to get the next one and so on please help. I dont like being a newbie!
Actuall it's like this Newbie to Junior Member -- 25 posts Junior Member to Member -- 100 posts Member to Senior Member -- 500 posts Senior Member to Addict -- 2500 posts anyone to Moderator -- determination and bribes to admins anyone to Admin -- decent six-figure (euros or dollars, we are not picky) lump sum to AfterDawn's Swiss bank account
being a better member is simply about posting helpful and constructive posts. remember it's not about being promoted it's about helping ppl
creaky As ye said above. and My 4-cents Also being a good member try to realize that some members do not have good commutation skills And try to help them along with there problem. And do not jump on them with two feet. to me no post is a stupid post its a cry for help!!!~!~!~
Yes, but the kind of help you are crying out for is more psychological than technical...LOL There's poor communicatin skills that we can work with, ie bad spelling/punctuation/grammar - or just generally not being terribly good at english. But this kinda streches the mark as far as lee way goes http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/256458 what do you think. I'd like to also add that it may be a good idea to stop posting `stupid posts` because the mods won't take too well to it. Lethal
Uhhhh I was not pointing at you with my post, as rarely do I take sides.I was generalizing for all those that do have problems with commutation skills. And need a helping hand.thats what we are here for.. cheers
That's two spelling mistake which I apologise for. And the fact that you noticed those show you aren't a fool. Now show it. Oh, and cheers GrandpaBW
thanx for all the help guyz i though i will never become a different rank and yes i help people but sometimes they dont take me serious because i am a NEWBIE!
Hi all, Granted I am relatively new (as far as timeon AD) and really don't get why everyone wants to be promoted so fast. Take time to read, learn, enjoy and give back the info you have gotten from AD. There are too many folks worried about post counts...if you are contributing then you will eventually move up and earn the promotion status. Sometimes its better not to respond and use the offensive post button rather than trounce useless posts as it only adds fuel to the fire and in turn "cushions" your own post count. amen
The NEWBIE statis only shows you are new to this site. It is not meant to rate your knowledge. One of my new hobbies is FTA receivers. I am a newbie on several FTA sites however I know enough information that I had my system up and running in less than 1 hour time. I have enough computer skills to know how to program and update the receives and even get into the files and reprogram them if needed. But I'm stll a newbie on the forums. That doesn't take away anything from the knowledge I already know. Don't let the ranking be your only measurement of a person or their ability. Jerry
all members including mods were newbies at 1 time. some members are here for the status or trying for the status whereas the majority are here to teach & learn. teach others what they know & learn from others for info they don't know. hence my saying "teach & learn".
don't forget 'tweak & burn' ..but quite right... the status thing also means we don't look down on status's below our own
and creaky's also nearly famous........'bleach and perm' oh oh i got one, adding to grammer skills and communication... apologize !! last timei checked my grammer book !! i just wanted to point that out Lethal_B to show you that i am no fool either !!! haha j/k aggghhh, and ddp did more then a 1 liner this time!! wooohooo and i agree with creaky post count means squat, there have been several (now banned members) who have tried to post tons just to get 'status' in here. just remember oreo_lord, just cuz your a newbie here does not mean that you dont have knowledge and wisdom to share. you will get noticed as by the help do you provide here, not by post count.
ye he needs a crutch now and again. i would like O.A.P instead of senior, but there you go, he who wants don't get
