VI-Control community member levels

JonL · Friday at 10:20 AM

I have been using the VI-Control forum for some time, though haven't posted much (more active on the Pianoworld forum) and I've always wondered about the meaning of the member levels. I'm listed as a 'new member' though I don't really think of myself as 'new' (certainly not based on age). There are also 'senior members'. Are there any other levels and what differentiates a 'senior' from a 'new' member? I searched for an answer, but no joy... (Apologies if this needs to be posted in a different area)

Senior members are those of us who’re more busy writing forum posts than writing music

Ah thanks. Then I'm destined to forever remain 'new'.

Yours says "Hobbyist", did you edit that yourself or did you have to ask a moderator to do that for you?

@JonL maybe a custom title would be preferable for you too?

You can edit it yourself.

Don’t ask me how to edit it, I looked everywhere in the settings before finding the right place!

These are all quite fine but mine is top notch.

Now that I know I can pick my own level, I'm quite excited to select mine. How about 'Senior Citizen Member'?

I can't find anything about this either. Could it have anything to do with the number of "trophy points" you accumulate?

Not at all. New members have "New member" by default. But if you click your account settings on the top right of the forum when you're logged in, you can see where to make this change.

It's a silly system, but it comes built into the forum software (xenforo). It's based on post count, and I think the threshold to cross is 50 posts to no longer be "new".

But that's if it's on "automatic pilot" right? People can bypass this as soon as they want to change the terms there, no matter the post count.
