From Member to Real Member

Hello Bob or Ganesh,
What does a 'real' member mean because I am still a member and I want it to change to a real member if you won't mind because I have been staying with this for a long time and thought that somehow you would change it to being a real member.

Hi jabah013.307,

Its too early for becoming a real member for new members. You are in the early stages!

Re: From Member to Real Member

When I first joined back in 2010 the forum had a lot of different categories of member.  New members had limited options until they had made 10 posts when they became members.  Then further 'promotions' came at post 1000 and I think 10000.  This has led to the invention of several games that help to push up the post count. Moderators could also make a member 'real' which gave additional privileges.

But the forum had to move to a new platform and several things changed.  Real members was the only special category that still exists.  I'm not sure myself if anything changes when that happens.  I'll conduct an experiment to try and find out.

edit: As far as I can tell the only change is you get to be called 'real'.  Better than being imaginary I suppose.

Hi,

Earlier (before 2020 or even earlier), there was a gradation, members, real members, moderators, administrators etc. Things changed and the concept of real members is archaic now. Now, its members, real members, moderators, and administrators on paper only and members, moderators, and administrators practically. This may charge at a later date possibly.
