Although, please don't take this the wrong way, and Larva, please don't either, but I might disagree with the above comment. I do agree about making the posts and being at the forums for a long period of time and doing it consistently is good. I do however believe that being a Senior is much more than just making a bunch of good posts every day for 2 years. I believe a Senior should be one who sets an example. I think that is one thing that is why this forum is held together so well. If anyone has seen The Butterfly Effect you would know what I am talking about. If I went back in time and removed the stars from this forum, people would not distinguish seniors from normal members as well and the example they set may not be as great. The forums would be dramatically changed. I would bet that just those stars are one of the things making this forum what it is. This relates to my point because a Senior is not only one with the quality you listed, but one who sets an example, gets along well with the members and new members. Also if they are not one who just gives the info and that’s it. Sometimes the showing of absolutely no emotion at all can make a member not know if this person is being friendly/mean/angry etc.
That is what I believe makes a senior. It may not be true, but I believe it seems to be done that way, so Dusty has been making 3.4 posts a day for almost 2 years solid, but much more importantly, Dusty has and has had the qualities it takes (in my mind) to make a Senior. One who sets an outstanding example!
Here is one for Dusty and our Seniors!
I would respectfully disagree with that. Post count is all we *really* have here to show level of experience <seriously no offense meant by this>larva said:
And even if you wish to argue that it has no reflection on knowledge or experience, it's undeniable that it shows dedication. A person's gotta care if they can spend 3+ hours a day making contributions....that cannot be denied.Sentential said:
You can disagree all you want, but that is the truth. Having been privy to a few more promotion deliberations than you, I can offer some insight concerning what matters and what doesn't. If a member does not have a helpful intent and isn't willing to expend effort to help, 14 million posts will make no difference. And just as well, if a member's goals are entirely consistant with the environment we strive to promote, he or she might be promoted with a far lower post count than you might imagine.Sentential said:
