And if you are in the middle of the bell curve or not.

Why the obsession over level? Does someone think being a senior member adds credibility? It doesn’t. The only level that has some type of impact on the forum is Junior Member. If a Junior member includes a hyperlink in a post, it goes to a Site Team member for approval. This restriction only happens the first few posts.

Being a Senior Member adds nothing. No additional credibility, or additional respect,. The credibility comes from the quality of one’s post and not the member’s level. There are a number of members ignoring other member’s post because of this very issue.

One should strive for posting quality info rather than watching the post ticker count up.

Hope this provides some thought material.

Totally agree and well-said Sir-I've never considered myself a senior member unless it's by age (baby boomer I am).

For starters to get a lot of posts, start welcoming new members, comment often, use good judgement and be respectful.

Simply be involved, and offer encouragement to everyone
