HOW TO INCREASE TFP STATUS? (I'm not yelling)
Just wondering how to get rid of that unattractive "ROOKIE" status/symbol below my ID. How many posts?..., or..?....

Just participate - it will come in time - and hopefully it shouldn't be a long time
Being a rookie is not something we frown upon by the way - it's just a part of who you are and your identity here You shouldn't find anyone giving you trouble because you're a rookie so I wouldn't worry

Don't worry about tags or "status".
It's all about being a contributing part of the community. THAT'S what will get you respect around here.

Deflok, you are a cut up. Thanks.
Jephree, Rookie just lets people know that you are finding what your persona is going to be here. That's a good thing. I honestly can't recall how many posts it takes to get to the next level, or even what that is, but it really isn't all that many. If you want to shake the rookie tag, the esiest way to do it is to find a forum in the Academy or Intersts or Creativity that really interests you, and find threads that you have a lot to say about and say it. Above all, though, be nice. If you say something iffy, soften it with an emoticon. If you are going to argue in Tilted Politics especially, be ready to back it up: we don't do flamewars here; that's what Fark is for. But mostly, just have a good time. And you've given me a good idea for a new custom status, so thanks!

But you are correct with your advice....don't post just to increase your number. Quality over quantity will get you where you want to be.

by the by, I'm not worried about upping my status, it'll come, but will donating do anything to help? I really like this site, and it should continue... a screw it, i'll donate, I wont a little Donor sign on my name... at least until I get to put a pic up there or something.

and in response to the last post-- status and access change as one participates. i can't honestly tell you what comes where because i just notice things at random. what you'll probably end up doing is posting in a handful of forums and so the others don't seem to change because you don't look at them. then one day you're like "holy shit, when did that one show up?" and so you dive into it and check it out--only to find that the people there are those you want to associate on these boards because they've also made their commitment to improving the community over their own status. patience. trust me. posting until you receive your avatar or the ability to change your title is a hollow goal--once you're there, you sit there wondering "well, what next?"

Jephree, it's simple, all you have to do is become somebody's bitch, and you're in like flynn.
I'll even let you be mine, if you want.
