Straight Answer May Be Alluded
	
	
		So, Marrin, the response from J1223 is not an accurate answer to your inquiry. Bottom line, it is up to the site's owner and Admin to decide when and if you are worth of officially being designated as Senior Member. I have heard anecdotally that it used to be 25 posts, based on PM's I have received asking about status. But that definitely is not a true solid guideline, it may or may not happen, as many of us know. I recommend to send an email inquiry of your question directly to the site Admin. You may get a straight answer, you may get a sinuous response. He has all the power.
Submitted, by a poster not yet and maybe never to be made a Senior Member by the Admin for whatever reason that is not transparent or apparent.

The requirements for Senior Membership are: 
  - Be a member for more than 6 months, AND 
  - Have a minimum of 25 reports in the forum. 
The system has now been totally automated. As members achieve these requirements, the system will upgrade them automatically.
