Why didn't I become a premium user?

Post by Rommeltje »

As you all (should) know, once you make it to fifteen posts, you become a registered user. Your username turns red and your post history is reviewed. If you made good ones: great, you're in. If you only made posts telling people what a great post they made, or anything else that is not contributing to the community, you will not be granted access. It doesn't even have to be pictures, links or videos, you can make only written posts, as long as they're substantial, something that shows you're putting some effort into it. Although actual content is very much appreciated, and it's really not that hard to find something.

If the Team see you haven't put any efforts into your posting, we will delete the most useless posts, and bump you back down to newly registered user. This is bad for you, because no matter how many posts you'll make, you won't automatically become a registered user anymore, meaning you won't come up for review. Every once in a while, we shall have a check as to whether such users have posted better stuff yet, in which case, you'll become a premium user after all. But it will be a lot harder!

Please keep this in mind when making posts. Your first fifteen are your ticket into the premium area. Make them count! Unless of course you're fine with just seeing the general boards.

If you want to thank someone for their post, you can do so by giving liking it (the green thumbs up button in the top right corner of each post).

Also, acquiring likes of course helps with getting you into the premium area, as it shows people appreciate your posts.

NB: In order to qualify for Premium access, your account has to be at least one week old. Even if you make 15 stellar posts on your first day, you'll still have to wait that one week.
