Webmasterworld Membership Criteria

Only Free or Paid too ?

[web_india]

Can anyone guide me what are the different membership options available for webmasterworld members and what's the criteria?
I suppose the options are new, junior, senior, full, preferred, moderator and administrator. Any other also?
Is full membership paid one and includes anything extra than other membership options?
Or is it totally different and related just to the number of posts? If yes, how many?
I tried to do a search but couldn't find the related info.
If there's already some discussion on this, please point me to the appropriate thread.

Thanks

Welcome web_india. Number of posts. I don't remember the numbers, though. It doesn't matter either. You get treated good here no matter what your number of posts are. Stick around!

Here is a post from Brett about the levels.

don't work like that.

new is upto 20 posts, junior is upto 80 posts, preferred is upto 200, full is upto 400, senior is 400+.

moderators look after the forums, and are in place due to specific knowledge, and / or strong support for the forums, this is a decision made by the administrators, in consultation with the current mods.

Administrators, have been on the system for a while (2 years approx), there is only a handful and generally run the forums/webmasterworld day to day, as well as over seeing and advising moderators on issues.

Posts are important, but that certainly ain't a way of becoming a moderator/administrator, a mixture of the right sort of knowledge, with a friendly personality, is a good place to start.

I've updated it a bit:

leveloneposts="0";
levelonetitle="New User";
leveltwoposts="20";

levelthreetitle="Full Member";
levelfourposts="200";
levelfourtitle="Preferred Member";
levelfiveposts="400";
levelfivetitle="Senior Member";
levelsixposts="800";
levelsixtitle="Senior Member";
levelsevenposts="10000";
levelseventitle="rcjordan"; (lets see if he ever notices this friendly poke) <snip smilie>

Attempted bribery is another option. I accept bribes in US$ via money order... heheh ;)

You mean they bribed you to become a moderator? ;)

levelfiveposts="400";
levelfivetitle="Senior Member";
levelsixposts="800";
levelsixtitle="Senior Member";
levelsevenposts="1000";
levelseventitle="Senior Member";

What's the difference between those???

Mostly the difference is spiritual.

Level Seven Members can levitate and predict Google updates 48 hours in advance.

[web_india]

hey, I am on 20 posts, so does this mean by posting this, am moving to level two title - from new to junior?

[web_india]

its' still 20, why?

[Sinner_G]

Local threads don't count. Else I would be at least Preferred, maybe even senior ;)

[web_india]

thanks for all the inputs

The best member is a paid-up member :) Keeping this board going is the best $75 anyone in our business can spend.

Duh. You think I put up with you for free? ;)

[Axacta]

Ooooo... What a comeback! LOL

Quick note at the request of a couple of concerned members:

WebmasterWorld is free - there is no fee to use the site at all. We do accept donations (that's what some were referring to above):

I still think that the levels should be a power of 2 thing. 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, etc. That way you have to post as many messages as you have already posted to make it to the next level.

[vitaplease]

Or an unknown logscale with a green toolbar Memberrank, then you will start getting questions and threads like these...

[mivox]

We do accept donations

Err... yeah... I accept donations in US$ money orders... ;)

Is anyone close to the rcjordan designation, besides rc?
