Sorry to repeat similar thread , but when i joined the criteria i believe was 30 days?60 posts and an introduction ? it seems to have changed to 60 days ? 120 posts and now 90 days ?300 posts................so which do i work to to be classed as a full member? The goal posts are moving

Jen you ought to have let me know - you should be Amber. The system must have missed you.

Green is a different thing that doesn't happen automatically, you have to meet the criteria then ask for membership.

I will turn you amber in a tick!

seems the goal posts have change when i joined it was 100 post & 60 days & intro now 90 days & 300posts & intro ......now i feel i will never get to be a full member , i think the criteria should be for when you became a member date wise , not keep changing?
Bit like ofsted, changes mind

I am trying to fing the thread with discussion about changing to read up and see what i missed,,just disapointed here

I can't please everyone but I can please those that share some very private information in the full member area and they asked that the criteria be changed and I listened.

Sadly some people will feel upset at the changes, especially when it means they have to wait longer but the privacy of members is my top priority.

Sorry but rules have to be set and we can't have it running from a members join date, for instance: Someone could have joined the forum way back in 2006 and never posted since, I wouldn't feel happy if they returned today and got into full members with just 10 days and 10 posts (as that was what the criteria was back then!)

Hope you understand

yes i do and partly agree- but i was nearly there to the criteria when i joined so disapointed

**brillminder** · 06-05-2008, 08:36 PM

any chance of a vote for this to be looked at so it could be considered with more recent poster as your previous example would have been on the old board wouldn't it, and all had to rejoin as i did

I can not find the thread with the discussion about changeing criteria, please could someone direct me please

Thanks pauline, i was bit confused really with it all!

Does it still stand with the 300 posts then? when i joined it was 100 and 30 days so i am still confused with that

thanks xx

I wondered how to become a full member, I have a fair few posts to go before I become a full member, but its ok, all the advice on here has been priceless.
