A Process of Appeal for Official memberdom Options

[racoons > you]

In the thread about the sex forum, Fallen_fairy brought up the point of some members, because they went for a long period before beginning to post after they joined, being unable to achieve they requisit 5ppd to become an official member

these people can become very active and dedicated members, but because they have a backlog of Zero post days, they cannot get their' ppd up, even if they do post up to 10 a day, and would clearly have a ppd which meets standars were it not for the long period of inactivity

therefore,i think it should be possible for members with over 500 posts who want to become official members, but are unable to due to a low ppd should be able to launch an appeal by PMing an admin with there situation. if they prove themselves a positive part of the site by gaining the endorsement of two members and a moderator, then the yshould have their status changed to Official Member.

no, it isnt.

its for the visitor tracker too, plus any added benefits which official members may become entitled to.

kiera... i dont think it woul dbe THAT much of a problem... one look at their joining date tells you if they have been at the site long enough to have had the problem, and i think we can trust people to endorse only those who they know are positive members of the site

I agree. I have confidence in our staff to make good judgements on who should be an offical member or not. I wasnt agruing against that. I was only stating that there will be those members that will bombard people for endorsements when they arent really qualified...they will be disappointed because a staff member will be able to determine their activeness.

Note: I dont mean endorsements in like a paragraph (like applying for a staff postion), simply someone who can vouch for that member in question activeness.
