Suggestion - member status & what it means

[bholthof]

I think that there should be a sticky about what all the different member status's are and what they mean. Like for example:

 

Noob: Recently joined forum or long-time member that doesn't post. Status remains at Noob until you make 150 posts in the forum. Cannot download attachements.

 

Jr. Member: Status received upon posting 150 times. Able to open attachements.

 

Etc, etc and so on.

 

It just might be helpful.

Maybe one already exists, but when you search for it there are a lot of posts about people who had issues.

I agree! There is a ton of helpful information on this site, but its a little overwhelming because there is so much. If I'm away for like 5 minutes there is suddenly 70 new posts... now what do I do? :-) It seems like there are so many rules... and I see a lot of "banned" posters.

 

The other thing I'd like to see is what various acronyms mean. Some are pretty obvious, but others are way over my head.

Also, each mod has a link to a very helpful thread that has all kinds of cool tips in it that you might want to check out.

I had stumbled across this site and I have to say it has been the most helpful. It's nice to communicate with people that are having a destination wedding. It is a little confusing at first, but the more you are on here--the better it gets!

I'm still confused about a ton of things - what are the rep points? And the karma? And the vbux? I have searched and searched and can't find any explanation other than a few posts where people say that they don't think they mean anything . . .

Except that it misses the 'fun' factor when no one knows what it is

You're certainly free to do the reasearch yourself. There are plenty of threads on these topics.
