Good Evening Pooga, I wish to formally ask for a promotion now in my 14th. year on the site with over 12,000 entries I am still at User level. What must I do to obtain a promotion? There are members on the site with less than one year at the same User level as I am.
You have to do more than enter notes. Read and post messages. Read the weekly news letter etc,etc, etc.
I have done the items you mentioned and still has not helped. I looked at previous promotion request comments and did as they stated then waited and waited so decided to just ask.
I really have no control on promotions.
But I will drop dr a note asking about improving it a bit.
Thank you very much for doing that. I am sure it would make many members happy.
I am new to the site but found this renewal thread interesting. It seems that longtivity should have a factor as there are pages upon pages of members who just stopped entering. Being on a site over 10 years should count for something.. It seems some active members are just locked in time while other are on the site less than a year and are at the same level as 10year members.
Your point has merit. However only one person holds the key to promotions it seems. If it is computer generated then the program needs some upgrades. I have been a member for 15 years and would love a promotion which is long overdue in my opinion.
From the site when you enter your limit for the day :
Entry Limit Reached
Sorry, but your daily note entry limit has been reached.
This site is all about having fun. In order to ensure that the fun continues as the site grows, we implemented measures to keep the time spent on maintenance to a minimum. To help do this, the site has a daily entry limit, designed to help keep fake hits and entries to a minimum. At first, this may seem a bit unfair, but if you are one of the 98% of people who have fun entering their notes, your limit will increase in no time; we promise.
To have your daily limit increased, the following criteria are considered:
how long you have been a user for?
have you entered some notes recently?
are you an active participant at the site?
If you don't meet the 'requirements' there is no need to get worked up; just hang in there. User entry limits increase when your user level increases, which are done every Saturday morning (assuming you meet the requirements for the next level). And feel free to post your questions about entry limits in the forums; there are lots of regular users willing to help
Okay so I think I have reached the requirements so where is the Promotion as Promised! In 15 years entering my limit often and reading the forums and the news letter and entering the odd comment in a thread when I think it is required,
Keep it up!
It helps to:
Hopefully (maybe with some poking the bear from POOGA, DR (the creator of the site & the holder of the keys may 🤞bring the site up to date. But, He and only he has the power
Good luck, keep your chin up and don't give up.
Happy tracking.
