Topic: members

so what determines member status? I just noticed that my profile says member  now . I missed it when it changed from Jr. member. I see some that are Sr. members and honored members. is there a criteria for advancement or do the chordie royalty arbitrarily  bestow titles and knight hood to favored members (joking here) just curious

Re: members

I think it simply has something to do with the total number of posts.

All new participants are 'Junior Members' until they reach 25 posts and then become a 'Member'. Dino has listed the other changes.

Mods are paid in imaginary dill pickles, so once in a while when we get a particularly SWEET pickle, we may feel tickled to arbitrarily bestow titles and knightood to the occasional honored member.  There are a few floating around that you might see that are not listed as "honored" but have some weird title, and they are not moderators.  tongue

Re: members

Uh...yeah.  Pretty much.  The pickle has to be particularly sweet and it has to be imaginary, but otherwise you got it.

It would have to be one of the best Gherkins in all the land, theoretically.  Oh and Mojo, I think that title would be too long.  tongue

All original songs should be posted in the songwriting section according to Chordie guidelines.

Well...maybe
The only pickle worth eating here in the UK is "Branston" IMHO.

Re: members

to strummer Bill your right, but this just kind of came together pretty fast, in fact it was written in the post a message box . is that a first?

To Arklady,  teacher I am fully aware of the rules cause everybody knows pickles aint allowed in school. how ever  it just would not have had the dramatic effect I was looking for posted in the song writing section. I humbly seek your forgiveness and will repost it in the proper location or put it back in the pickle jar and delete it . what ever is the pleasure of the ambient moderator

I can't keep up. I'm still learning how to shuck & silk, and already you've moved on to pickles and gherkins. Is their anything I need to know about them?

Make one mistake here, and you're in a real pickle (couldn't resist).

Re: members

OMG!  Every person in my house had to come in and find out why I was laughing so hard!  Thank you - all of you - for the awesome laughs!  I read through this while listening to the pickle song.  AWESOME-SAUCE!  I really RELISHED it!

You should know that just about anything can be pickled.  Eggs are popular in bars.  Yes, pickled hard boiled eggs.  If you pickle onions, they taste like pickles.  Oh, and you can pickle pigs feet too (but I've never tried one).  A true pickle connoisseur will be found and quite happy in NYC fishing out a fresh crunchy pickle from a barrel (garlic dills are good) - particularly, in the Jewish shops.  Dills are Kosher.  smile
