Member Status question

I don't mean to waste time with this question, but I'm curious how do you advance from a junior member to a member. Is it by the number of posts, or the date that you registered? Thanks

Junior Members are promoted to full Members when they learn to use the search function to find answers to questions that have been asked many times before...

Members are promoted to Senior Members when they learn to take a good-natured ribbing from a moderator without getting p!$$ed off...

You have much potential, young Courier.

TBM - I thought it was based on the number of quality posts a member has written.

15 quality posts makes you a "Member"
100 quality posts makes you a "Senior Member"

But be aware that for every trash post you submit, we must subtract 3 from your post count. That is why you'll find some members who have been here a very long time with post counts only in the teens. And if you question the member status system for any reason whatever, you lose 10 from your post count. Courier - your post count is currently at -4.

Thanks for the help guys. M H - I didn't think that there were any woods left in Northern Va., all I see is traffic and blacktop, and more traffic. Oh, darn it, I guess this wasn't a quality post so I just lost three more posts. Thanks for the info.
