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.

^why would we have less people interested? that makes no sense to me.. please explain further.

this is one of the main reasons i made a new account... except then i stopped doing xanga so i had no use for the tools. i like this idea.


edit: hmm.. one thing i thought of is won't it be a lot harder for the staff to take away our status? i mean, with the official members now they can just look at their ppd and take away the status if their ppd isn't high enough, but it seems like it would be a pain for them to check these exceptions if this proposition did go into effect.
