I don't know where else to post this... will someone tell me how long it takes to become a "member"?

Thanks ,

it took me 15 days.

 

patience grasshopper...it is well worth the wait.

Besides, you can still search and browse the old threads and learn alot that way.

 

dont know i just signed up the other day

 

it can only really go on number of posts, number of days here, number of searches pefformed? quality of posting? who you know on here? grammar? hours active?

i would really like to know what is taken into account to decide when it is time for someone to become a full member. is it an automated process or does a person decide?

i am particularly interested because i was a full member but lost my cookies, pass word and old e-mail, and am missing the benefits i once had. i am also having problems with having to continually shut a pm window which i dont have access to, every time i change topic.

if it goes on post count then i will probably have a long wait, i'm sure ive seen 80+ post trial users, i spend most of my time reading, and trying to help if i can.

previously ben_vtec, 100-200 posts, 1.5 yrs 100% rating

 

I was just searching for the answer myself, still haven't found anything on it. I have 3 post left for today. If I find anything out I will let you know.

 

seems like HT has really grown

 

cool, its a trial user gang
-Bryan-

 

I'm in with that trial user thing. I don't know about member stuff, but this site is really awesome. Great job. By the way what are the percent things for?

My big reason is I want to get at the "Classified" section, but you can't post in there until your a full member.

PS- I'm in desperate need of valve covers and intake manifolds, if you have anything laying around send me an email at matrob@dnet.net. Ha, there I just posted my classified.

yea, i'm waiting for the same thing.....this is a really good web site to learn new things...how do we know if were a full member

 

under your name says 'trial member'
it will say 'honda-tech member'

then you can change your avatar in 'my profile' if you like.

 

But when does this happen? 60 posts? or 10 posts? I am coming from the SR20DE camp so to switch to Honda and have this site Like SR20ers have the sr20forum is Bomb. Tons o' Info.

We still have to jump you nOObs in are H-T Gangs.

 

Okay I'll leave this post open and from now on if anyone has a Tral User question we can link them to this thread, okay?

The Trial User period was installed because too many jackasses were signing up just to flame people, or to sell stuff and then leave. We were constantly flooded with ******** looking to start fights by posting multiple topics and replying in every single thread that they could with flames.

We also had too many unknown people scamming people in the classifieds, so having a trial user period solves a lot of these problems.

The Trial User period lasts for 20 days. If you don't post things that are against the rules and your % rate doesn't drop below 96% you will then be a Normal User and you can post in any forum and also recieve IMs, etc. You will basically have full access to all forums (except for the Moderators' Corner) and it will certainly be more fulfilling than the limited access Trial User period.

The Trial User period doesn't change due to post count!

In fact I encourage trial users to read more and post less so they will be able to go with the flow easier in here.

Once your Trial period is over you can also chosse an avatar (personal picture) and your title will be "Honda-Tech Member."

 

B18C5-EH2,
Thanks... I think that just cleared up everyones questions.

Scott

 

I still dont understand the % thing...can someone explain?? I think i have an idea...if you do something bad it goes down

 

Thats basically what it means... maybe we can get another moderator in here to explain that too. Then we can just make this a standard for all newbies to read, haha.

Scott

 

DUH....and also for asking dumb questions.

 

Percent using noob terms, j/k, remember when you or your kids were in elementary school and they would rate your behavior? Thats sorta like % if you are stupid and **** people off a mod can take away percent. With less percent you lose privladges such as avatars and people might even trust you less.

 

ii can't wait to become a member of this board you can learn so much stuff fromthis site.
