How Does One Become A Collaborator?

I got forced into a desk job in the air force for too many  fast low passes including the one on my avatar.   Just for clarification . . . as far as I know, any Collaborator that has been 'demoted' has either asked to be removed as one, or violated a conditional rule. The Admins here don't go around the site stripping folks of their ranks for kicks.   Dean does.

Haha.

Oh, dear.

I have discovered (in the pursuit of knowledge and out of idle curiosity) that I can knock people down to Newbie status without affecting their post-count. What I have yet to determine is whether they bounce up the ladder to Groupie or jump straight Senior on their very next post or remain as Newtbies in perpetuity (sadly all the previous volunteers for this experiment were unable to post again on the forum for unrelated reasons... newts have moderately dexterity and with time could master the QWERTY keyboard, the problem for them is they can never remember their password, this is more noticable in the cases where I've changed their passwords then PMd them the new one). Volunteers willing to act as Guinea pigs in the next level of experiments are more than welcome and I see from the giant step back-wards by 22896 other members that we have a few people interested in furthering the course of scientific endeavour. With so many prospective victims candidates I find my self spoilt for choice and will rely on proven stochastic methods of selecting test subjects.

that might have had something to do with it...

Hell, forget about collaborator or reviewer, ow do I become a groupie or senior member
