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.

i didnt mean endorsement as in having to write out a paragraph in the manner of why they should be a member or not, just simply a list of three names. it jus thelps to verify that someone has seen them active... because its a big site, and the individual admin may never have noticed them particularl, and therefore not feel they deserve it

*shrug*

your other idea is god in theory, but if one person posts once or twice before they stop returning, theproblem is still as real as ever... nic ein theory, wouldnt work in practice

are you referring to mine? yeah that's what i was thinking about too. maybe if...hmm...after a couple of weeks without posting, the PPD count just stops where it is. then when they resume their posting, it would start up again?
