Users Awaiting Email Activation are newly registered members who have not yet activated their membership by responding to the Activation Email. Users Awaiting Email Activation may search and read the Forum. However, they cannot post reports, view or upload photographs, or use the private message system. Users Awaiting Email Activation are automatically promoted to Regular Member upon activating their membership by responding to the Activation Email.

Regular Members may post reports, view and upload photographs, and use the private message system. However, Regular Member's reports are held briefly until they are reviewed by a Forum Moderator.

Senior Members are former Regular Members who have been members for at least 6 months and have made 25 or more contributions to The Forum. Senior Member's reports are held briefly until they are reviewed by a Forum Moderator.

Unmoderated Members are Senior Members who's writing style somewhat follows the Forum's Posting Guidelines. Reports by Unmoderated Members are not held for moderation.

The purpose of this entire hierarchy is to exercise some controls over new members with the specific intent of stopping serial spammers and reducing garbage posts.

Regular Members are automatically upgraded to Senior Member when they have been a Forum Member for 6 months AND have posted 25 or more reports.

that depends on ur writing style.....if ur past reports have never needed to b edited then u will b made an unmoderated senior member at the same time that u r a senior member..... but if u like to write like in a chat rm w/o any capital letters no puncutuation marks........or with lots of periods for no reason.....then we will need to continue moderating ur reports.....on the other hand if we have never had to edit ur reports in the past......then we assume that ur reports wont need to be edited in the future.....gr8 for u!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely. Any Unmoderated Senior Member who begins posting questionable reports may find their membership changed to moderated status, thus resulting in their reports being delayed until the are reviewed by a moderator.
