becoming a member...

**92DELSOL** · 06-06-2006 08:40 PM

dont kick my ass for making a thread like this! READ

i know there was a similar thread not long ago:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ghlight=member
but nothing really happened...

i know the rules about becoming a member with pq points and the 90 day thing...
BUT i think there should be other ways.

i have been signed up on here for close 2 years (since sep 2004) and i try to help people out where i can...and i am STILL rated as a newcomer

im not someone who knows HEAPS about hondas who can help everyone, and i dont claim to be. and when i do make what i think is a helpful post, i get no points? i dunno, maybe my posts just arent much help

i think there should be a certain time after which you become a member, maybe 1 year??, if you dont have the rep.

just a suggestion.

it's all based on luck..
whether a moderator thinks it's worth a PQ, or whether they've even seen it..

but just keep helping out where possible, and i'm sure it'll come to you.... one day..

Does it really matter if you are a "Member", besides the benefit of selling?

**92DELSOL** · 06-06-2006 08:54 PM

i realise there would be a bit of luck in who sees the posts,

but i just think there should be another way...
like being given membership after period of time (1 year?).

i dont think it should be given to people who rarely use ozhonda and dont post anything...but i try to help out and am on here almost everyday!

im interested to see what some mods think about this

i realise probably the only difference between member and newcomer is the benefit of sell...
but i would like to have the benefit of selling

.....and im sick of having newcomer under my name after sooo long!

Interesting idea. I suppose that it is up to members to really hand out more PQ points when they think someone makes a good post.

Ie for my post in this thread:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44898
no PQ points

But this:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41413
Heaps of PQ points.

Anyway, it appears that someone gave you a point.
