Getting elevated to Advanced Member status

[Braveheart]

Due to abuse of the Pattaya Addicts policy that automatically promoted Members to Advanced Members once they had made 50 posts we have decided to change how Members are promoted to Advanced Member status.

 

Pattaya Addicts Administrators will now review the posts made by each Member prior to them being elevated to the Advanced Member level. A review will automatically take place after a Member has reached 50 posts and a decision will be made by the Administrators whether their posts merit their being elevated or not.

 

This is not being done to punish anyone but rather to increase the amount of intelligent and meaningful content being posted on the forum and to tone down the amount of one word and one line posts which are being made with the specific purpose of getting to the next level.

 

It is still acceptable to make a short post to congratulate someone, wish them well, thank them for their post or pictures and other such things for which a shorter post may be appropriate but in order to be elevated some significant posts must be made which offer new content to the forum.

 

It is hoped that this policy will encourage more Member participation on the forum and lead to more of the Members being active in ongoing discussions.

 

The Administrators may also decide to elevate someone early if it is determined that their participation and postings are of an above average level and warrant it.

 

Some of the best ways to get yourself noticed early are by submitting trip reports, bar and hotel reviews. Posts with photos are always regarded more highly than those without and a friendly, congenial and helpful attitude towards other Members is greatly appreciated by all.

 

Anyone who believes that they are worthy of an early promotion is free to appeal to the Administrators at any time and their posting history will be reviewed.

 

Elevation to Advanced Member will still gain you access to all of the Advanced Member forums as well as unfettered access to the picture gallery.

 

Members who are being reviewed/awaiting review will show as Member + in their profile under Group.

Great Policy. I believe it is clear, fair and equitable. Thank you for taking the time to formulate the new policy!

[ifriendyou]

Very fair.

 

This will hopefully bring in much more life into the forum.

[The Deported One]

[catupiri]

[Captain Murgatroyd]

Works for me... sorry I didn't know things had changed when I welcomed new members last night... now I know better!

I think that is the fairest way. I think that eliminates the possibility of sabotage from aliens as it would take the most dedicated of trolls to be bothered to get elevated to the higher level. The majority of people join but then dont post, perhaps this will encourage them.

Im not much of a talker either, English is not my main language but atleast i try to do my best. But as a whole alot of my posts is going to be one-liners and it seems that the admins have a problem with that :(

[noodles]

Posts with photos are always regarded more highly than those without.

 

Question:

 

How do you post trip reports with pics if you can't upload pics? Bit of a catch 22 situation?

[SneakySnake]

so now i actually have to post meaning full phrases?

 

damn i thought i good get away with just adding some BS everywhere

 

well thought of though, and no problem, i must reach trusted member's status! ;)

[iceboy]

I cant post a trip report or anything yet as I am going on my first trip soon .. but I promise I will when I get back

[Chilli Pepper]

I am the same as iceboy above, trying to make a contructive contribution to site, but until

i make my trip in Sept can't post trip report or pics.

 

The information i have picked up from this forum has been really helpful in planning my trip, so

i plan to put something back and post trip report/hotel review and pics etc.

 

Any chance of a review
