Hell, forget about collaborator or reviewer, ow do I become a groupie or senior member
I haven't really done anything to warrant a promotion, but I'd like to know what it takes since these website rankings awarded by people I don't know from a computer far away actually means a lot to me
more quality posts? reviews? more rankings?

That doesn't always work... or maybe it didn't work for me because I left for a year and a half afterward and haven't reviewed anything since

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.
I'm not saying this was how you meant the comment, but I just wanted to make that aspect of it clear for those who may read this and get confused.
As for the job 'requirements' . . . I do what I can, but myself, like everyone else here, is doing this because I enjoy the music, and this site is important to me. It's a volunteer job; a choice. We all have lives away from this site, so at times, we can't dedicate ourselves to it as often as we would like, but from what I understand, the only way someone is taken off of the Collaborator train is if they simply violate what is expected of them, which doesn't happen very often.
As long as you are positively contributing to the site, you should be fine. |
I was only half joking. But the part about being grounded is half true. Just before I was grounded I was heading for a desk job anyway so I went out in style

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.

Thanks folks for your honest opinions. I suggest that everyone here (either collaborators or not) wants to contribute toward PA if he can... But sadly sometimes he's too busy to do so... Every collaborator has a responsibility to make PA better as soon as possible, as Martin, Micky, Robert, and Ian said. To be a helper is my pleasure. Writing reviews and biographies I've enjoyed...but I'm afraid I can always do so sooner... If I can get an offer, I'm very glad. That is, some of members here can give their confidence to me. Hehe...senior member may be my best place...?
