As we have a few new members here I'd like to give a short explanation about how we function.

Guests

Guests are members who aren't registered yet. They are able to see the Welcome Board category and nothing more.

Once they register, they must post at the New Name, New Welcome & General Presentation thread under the specific topics for introduction and access request.

Only after POSTING there, they will be granted access to the forum.
This is to assure security. All guests will enter the forum with reputation rate numbered 1.

Probationer Member

After being granted access you will be given the rank of Probationer member.

Probationer Members will be given access to our general categories for public discussions. They will be able to read and reply to posts as well. They will be able to start topics.

They will not be able to start polls or use special options as sticky topics and announcements. They will not be able to delete their posts.

During the period as probationer member we will be observing your level of interaction here. Your reputation level within the community will grow accordingly.

Senior Members

Senior Membership are given to members who have proved their level of participation, interest and improvement of the community with us.
This is decided by the 3 administrators. A Senior member is not immune to our filter systems so they can have their account disabled if they don't follow the specifications and levels of participation required.
They are given another level of access to our forum.

VIP Members

All the above and are immune to auto filter. Only administrators can decide to cancel their accounts.

Administrators

Management of the forum.
