<p>Hmmm . . . I’m a CC “Junior Member” though I’m coming up on 200 posts. Some of you are New Members, Members, and Senior Members (I suppose Carolyn is the only “5-Star” Member) :-). Is this all based solely on number of posts? And if it is, what’s the scale? And . . . why?</p>
<p>based solely on number of posts. I think the first move-up is 200.</p>
<p>As one who has been embarassingly prolific, the bump up comes at 300…</p>
<p>And Senior Member comes at 1000 (!) posts. I think that’s as high as it goes.</p>
<p>I’ve been here three years and never even noticed these various levels of membership!</p>
<p>I guess this is one instance when you can control whether or not you are “accepted” as a member in a certain “club”!

<p>It seems like a sort of merit badge system. But I wonder if the purpose is to motivate us to post a lot or to give readers a sense of how experienced the authors of the posts are. If it’s the latter, I guess one could get “promoted” after 300 bits of bad advice just as well as good advice!</p>
<p>they need to have few more memberships … distinguished member, endowed member…</p>
<p>“endowed member” might draw some snickers</p>
<p>How amusing. They could have “endowed chairs” named for distinguished former members. And if the distinguished former member reappeared, s/he would be emeritus.</p>
<p>You’re right Alumother - 200 doesn’t earn the merit badge.</p>
<p>I’m only hanging out in CC until I move up from Junior Member. Yeah, right. ;)</p>
<p>But gadad we will give you a party anyway. Except I’m not too good at the colors and font sizes thing…</p>
<p>What about Supreme Emperor of CC?</p>
<p>I think that title belongs to Moderator Obiwan.</p>
<p>I thought Jedi couldn’t be Sith Emperor. Never heard of a light-side Jedi Emperor.</p>
<p>
Historically, the most common ways have been 1) Lose all sense of perspective.
2) Tell interesteddad that Swat is a safety school for your kid :eek:
3) Tell mini that some things in this world are actually not completely driven by SES 
</p>
<p>and my personal favorite,
4) Develop an affinity for some of your fellow posters.:)</p>
<p>Do any of these four and the “number” will just balloon.</p>
<p>lol curmudgeon, that is scarily true and quite amusing :)</p>
<p>Fireflyscout, your faith is touching but I, like my fellow Jedi Moderators, serve the Republic under the triumvirate chancellors Dave, Roger, and Sally. </p>
<p>Tlaktan, enough. Before I wield my light saber of correction. One does not joke about Siths, Emperors, and such.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, I see the Force is strong in you.</p>
<p>Excuse me, Master Obiwan, but I thought members of the Dark Side of the Force wielded superior Force strengths?</p>
<p>I never did understand the difference between moderator and super moderator</p>
