Senior Membership Criteria

SENIOR MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

General Requirements
  • A Regular Member for at least 30 days.
  • A valid Email address (to be maintained for duration of Senior Member status)
  • A User Name that conforms to the Forum's User Name Guidelines.  (Note: Your user name can be changed at your request by Admin as necessary to qualify for Senior Member upgrade.)

Number of Posts MEET ONE OF THESE FOUR POSSIBILITIES:

  • Ten USA reports, posted on different days, consisting of one to several paragraphs in length, each describing an experience with or review of a specific area, club, commercial establishment, service establishment, service provider, LE activity, legal issue, etc., OR…
  • Five International reports, posted on different days, consisting of one to several paragraphs in lengths, each describing an experience with or a review of a specific area, club, commercial establishment, service establishment, service provider, legal issue, etc., OR…
  • One detailed report on an international country or city, several paragraphs in length, demonstrating intimate knowledge of the area and providing information that obviously reflects the member's personal experience, OR…
  • One detailed international travel report providing a detailed narrative of a trip, including details regarding flights, customs and immigration, currency exchange, transportation, lodging, restaurants, clubs, other commercial establishments, local services, and of course, the girls.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

  • Postings that consist primarily of questions, requests for more information, casual short comments, retorts to another member's report, chit-chat, etc. do not count towards these totals.
  • All reports must be in entered with some adherence to the Forum's Posting Guidelines, which essentially mean that they weren't typed in "chat room" style with all lower case lettering and devoid of punctuation.

Quality of Posts
  • No more than two early posts written in chat room style, after which subsequent reports are written in generally accepted writing style (standard capitalization & punctuation, etc.) I'm assuming that the conscientious members will get the idea after they read my tag line at the bottom of their initial reports indicating that I had to edit the report for capitalization and punctuation.
  • Please note that writing style or quality of content ARE NOT factors.  I don't want to even begin to start evaluating the quality of a member's writing or the accuracy of their reporting, all I'm asking is that members use correct capitalization and punctuation.
  • Reports did not violate the Forum's SPAM Policies (i.e. Did not start or inflame any flame wars, did not demean or denigrate another member, etc.).
  • Reports did not attempt to thwart WSG Posting Policies (deliberately misspelling banned words, etc., referring to competing forums, posting commercial messages, etc.)

Duration
  • Senior Member status shall be presumed permanent as long as the Senior Member posts a minimum of one report per year.
  • Senior Member status may be rescinded in the event the Member begins to violate the Forum's Posting Policies, doesn't maintain their email address, etc.
  • Senior Member status is always at the sole discretion of the WSG Forum Administrator.

Advantages
  • Reports by Senior Members are not held for review and moderation by a Forum Moderator, and are instead visible on the Forum immediately upon posting.


SENIOR MEMBERSHIP UPGRADE PROCEDURE

Review Procedure
  • Senior Membership upgrades shall be performed only at the specific request of the Regular Member, said upgrade request to be made by posting a request in the Senior Member Upgrades section of the Site Administration area of the Forum.  Said request will begin with a sentence to the effect "I want to be upgraded to Senior Member status.".
  • Senior Membership upgrade reviews shall be conducted periodically by the Forum Administrator, who shall review the Regular Member's Forum contributions for compliance with the Forum's Posting Guidelines.
  • Generally speaking, Senior Membership upgrade requests will be reviewed by the Forum Administrator approximately once every month.
  • No specific notification will be sent in the event of a decision, although any member may review his membership status at any time by reviewing any of their own posts.
