Member vs. Junior Member
Here is one thats been bugging me. All my life I have been a Junior. My father past away (God bless his soul) and I am no longer considered a Junior. However, now here on this, this, this, "BB" I am once again a "Junior". What do I need to do to get away from this stigma?

You can achieve the elite Member status by making 30 (I believe) posts. (Someone else will speak up if I have the number wrong 
)

You need to make 14 more posts, jamflyer... 30 is the magic number for becoming a full-blown member.
(Just don't look at Rudi's total...)
While the "junior member" tag may be annoying, perhaps it inspires "older" members to be kind to the newbies? I didn't like being a junior member either...

Thanks for the response. I figured there was some kind of posting quota. While I usually read the board, I do not post as often as I should. I guess it would be worth it get rid of the "junior" tag. I think I have about 10 posts to go.

jamflyer, if you are real good you can accomplish "elite" status (there is nothing higher than "member"), in about a minute. Just find a little or non-used thread and do the remainder of the posts required in rapid succession. "I hate it when there are psychological barriers in place!"

I would rather call the non-posters but looking "voyeur" - but I don't mind them at all.
The "junior" appendix, in my opinion is very democratic (every one has been junior on this board for his/her first 30 postings) - and in add, at least for me, if I respond to a junior-posting I try to give more basic-background informations. In my opinion the "junior"-appendix is helpful.
