    My classic thread in the off-topic section is titled 'Mario Kart and Modafinil'. I suggest you have a read - it will go down in the annals of PR history and be remarked on for years to come
    I'm sure you dropped many a clanger on that one as it heads
    to the dust bin of PR history.

    Default Can't easily tell if someone with only pip has senior forum access or not

    I will use @Spazmatica as an example (although he's probably got 30 rep points by now) You can see how many posts people have, you can see their join date, but if they only have one green pip all you know is that they have somewhere between 25 and 49 rep points...so you don't know for sure sure if they have made the 30 or not. I know it;s a very small range and people go from 25 to 30 rep points pretty quick...but there is that small window of uncertainty.

    You can alway do a limited search on just the senior sction - fill the username and use the username as a keyword) and see if they've made or rated a post. If they have they have made it, If no hits...you still can't really be sure until that second pip pop ups when they hit 50 rep points. Kind of a pain...but the only other solutions I can think of to cover that rep point unknown range is to raise the reqt. to 50 (or lower it to 25 which I know is not going to fly after all the posts from a while back where the concensous was it should be raised) or add to admins workload to add some sort of flag for users who have accesss to the senior section. I think I got all this right.

    I think @crucibelle is absolutely right. (As usual) The key to receiving rep points is to give likes/helpfuls yourself. My first couple of days here I went thru and liked several posts. I wasn't doing this to receive anything in return. I just thought there were some great contributions here. A couple of days later, I signed in to see that I'd received several likes myself. (Woohoo!) Some of the people giving me "likes" were some of the same people I had "liked" myself. Now, I'm not saying the only reason they gave me rep points was to return a favor. But it helps to get your name in front of other members. They will notice you and your posts. They will notice if you are trying to contribute something valuable. What did your mamma always say? "Try your BEST!"

    If you are passionate about something or really care about people it will show thru. Just don't do what I've noticed others doing lately. Copy and pasting other members posts and then reposting them yourself. Or my fav, responding to a post where the OP has been banned. I even saw one the other day where the new poster didn't answer the OP's question. Instead the new poster said something like, I guess it doesn't matter now since you've been banned. C'mon, Really!

    Yes, this will get your post count up. That is, if the mods don't get ahold of those and press delete. However, this will not get your rep points up. Simply because you haven't really contributed anything. One thing I've noticed, it doesn't work to come out and ask for rep points. That's just lazy and no one responds well to it.

    I know the rep points thing may frustrate some members. It probably has held a few of the good members back and even drove some away. However, I've seen it help to keep some non-contributing members out. Also, I think even though members come from all walks of life. The restrictions also provide a sort of espirit de corps among members. Everyone has worked toward a common goal. Those who want to put in the effort and become part of the community will do so.

    As for me, I'm in the @betsky boat. Still can't access the "Land of Milk and Honey"! Oh well, I'm patient. It is literally just a matter of time.

    @ RedDaisyLady – This is a wonderful point about being sure to read through other member’s posts and rating other people’s posts as well. I don’t think a member logs in and says, “I got a bunch of links for member X, I’m going to go out and deliberately go out and give them likes in return.” It does get your name out there though, and people are more likely to read and think about your posts if they know you read and give thought to other’s posts; as opposed to just skimming them over. It’s not just the people you rate either, but at the bottom of posts, people in general can see who has rated one helpful or liked it. You can connect with other members even by liking the same posts for instance.

    Also, like so many others have said, have fun with the forum as much as possible. Don’t see it as another job or you have to make X number or posts or day or get to a certain level in an amount of time. Post here when you want to and are in the mood for it. If you have friends or family over for a weekend, then take a complete break from coming here for a few days if you like. If you’re in the mood to post all night one evening then go ahead. There’s no best way to go about using this forum – it depends on the individual.

    There does have to be so many characters in a post to count as a post so the nevermind youre banned or a simple lol wont count. But Im with @Carter, if you dont pay attention to your posts and contribute and also do your part in rating, the reputations points add up quickly.

    Hey last week, I took a vacation week (stay at home) and the main thing I did all week was read and post here at PR. I dont even think Ive checked my facebook page in months but I have to check in here almost daily if not to post but to check on everyone.

    On Christmas eve my mother fell and I started a thread and due to being with her so much I hadnt checked in here in 2 or 3 days and wow did I have responses something like 27 or so notifications. There are so many compassionate, caring members here that I cant even begin to name them for fear of leaving someone out. And posts counts just dont mean as much to me as the forum itself does.
    Be kind, everyone is fighting their own battles

    I had to post my investigating and this seemed the likely source for it. Randomly over the last week I checked who's online and what they were viewing. Wouldn't you know a majority of monikers (junior members) were on threads with any pharmacy name in it and several viewed obscure threads ie.new amc affiliate (ithink it was @Blockhead 's)
    some of these juniors had zero posts and others haven't been seen since. Soooooo alls I'm sayin is well DUH
    there's your perfect reason for any and all doubters re.
    The qualifications.

    Betsky, You go girl. Everything is going to be alright. It takes a little while to learn the ropes, but by reading the threads, and having a little brains, hopefully peeps will get it together. I wish I had more time to be on here. I am sure the qualifications, will be adjusted again.

    It makes perfect sense why the 50 post rules is enacted if I ever find a site where I can buy opana or 30s will be clutch and worth preserving but as one of the members said early most of the info is open and out in the info are there really no hidden treasure chests I the viP section
