 Topic: Collaborator
Posted: September 15 2010 at 06:04 |
In my quest to become a fully fledged member of this site, I tried to become part of the Progressive Metal team. This didn't work for some reason, with none of my messages being answered, so now I would like to become a collaborator, because I'm sick of being labelled a newbie.

Oi, I tried to land a spot on PMT for like 4 years...
And soon enough you'll be a senior member. Just keep on posting!
You only need 100.

It's a shame none of your messages were answered....did you send them to a member of the team?
Anyway as JJ says..keep posting and your status will change. Also as a by product, people will get to know you and see your value and maybe then you can become a Collaborator. You won't become one simply by asking in this thread. Unless you wrote a lot of reviews and THEN ask.
Do you review?

I received no messages from said person.
Anyway, the standard procedure usually involves spending a fair amount of time on this site, being an active member of the community. Suggesting bands, writing reviews, editing info and wanting to take on work to help the teams. You don't just walk into a collaborator's role. I spent around a year on this site before I even considered applying for a collaborator's role. The PMT is going through a lot of internal restructuring at the moment, and it would be difficult to accommodate new members when other collabs are keen to fill positions. That's just the way it is at the moment.

I don't see the big point of becoming a member of the staff here. What happens is that your work burden increase 1000 % and your wife will site "ProgArchives collaborator status" as the sole reason for the divorce.
I am not joking.

Besides, titles are for chumps!
Be remembered for what you do.
Become a big member of the site. Write a lot, (and good) reviews, contribute to musical discussions sincerely and intelligently. All that fun stuff.

39 posts: Just one more and you'll become a Groupie  . This depends just on the number of forum posts, not on the number of reviews... but keep on reviewing!

You have to be Tony R's fag for a year before you can become a collaborator.

arcane - as has been mentioned, being a collaborator in here is something you have to earn. Contributing to the database or writing reviews are the most obvious paths towards getting hundred of hours of unpaid work shoved your way, showing tact, decorum and encyclopedic amounts of facts presented objectively in debates on the forums another one.

He does have 160 reviews, might be reason for consideration as a prog reviewer.

I'm just referring to the quality of your reviews.

OK..I read a couple of your reviews and I'm not very impressed. It's not my call though. Don't feel too bad, my reviews aren't great either.

Yes, quality of reviews not quantity. I have neither!  And really, stay active in the forum and don't be like me...and you will become a well liked and appreciated member of PA. That is what matters most.

em thanx I guess
That divorce thing...was incredibly funny...and slightly true
I'm currently doing A levels, and this website is taking up most of my time in Study Hall, as I am doing now.
If they found out I was just using this website most of the time, they wouldn't be too happy
