Alright, who wants a Cheque...

Seriously, when does a newcomer become a member or whatever?

When you register to TS Forums you will be designated a custom title, these were created with the only purpose of giving you that special feeling when you join our community and as you spend more time around how you can grow and learn with it. No preference nor discrimination or offense should be taken regarding titles; you can feel free to ignore them if you don’t like them.

First titles given to users are managed by the forum software and are based on your post count:

As for the cheque, I would rather you pay me 10Gs in dimes & nickels ( that way it can't be traced ).

nope, iirc, there is a point where multiple back to back posts no longer count. Besides, if I see someone making posts like that, I'll combine them if they are relavent, and delete them if they are trash. But thats because I'm evil

Or if someone high enough up decides to keep you at a certain status....

Remember, status for a single member can be set manually
