Member Ranks and Privileges, thoughts...

First of all...Great Board and Thanks for allowing me to be a part

Here are the different ranks and their descriptions(aka ANON):

Administrator - Just me and Quasi...Supreme reign over the ABB universe!
Moderator - Has control over 1 or more individual forums. Mods to be determined.

Member / Female Member - Initial rank when you join. PM Inbox holds 50 PM's. Can be promoted to Veteran after convincing Admin or a Mod that you're experienced, have made valuable post contributions, and take proper security measures to keep yourself and everyone else safe.

Veteran / Female Veteran - PM Inbox holds 75 PM's. Can be promoted to Veteran from Member if completed the necessary requirements. Or for commonly known Vets among other boards, this can be your rank when you join. However, that is subject to my discretion....just because you're a "Vet" on other boards doesn't guarantee automatic Vet status here.

Trial Source - PM Inbox holds 75 PM's. This is a new source that has not yet built up the reputation of an Approved Source. With no sourcing experience, only a Veteran can become a Trial Source. After proving yourself as a Trial Source you will be upgraded to Approved Source when I feel you're ready. Once again, I cannot be bought.

Approved Source - PM Box holds 100 PM's. This is a source that has at least 1yr of experience sourcing with a good track record, and has proven themselves over time. I do not vouch for sources, and as many of you have seen in the past, no source is "Golden"....but Approved Sources are your safest bet.

V.I.P. - Backstage Pass - PM Box holds 100 PM's and you have the option to log-in under "Invisible Mode" for extra security. This is an elite member of the V.I.P. section of ABB called "The Backstage Pass". To become a V.I.P./Backstage Pass member you must 1) currently have Veteran or Female Veteran rank. 2) Donate a minimum of $50 to the board per year. This section is as close as you'll get to the "Mod/Source Forum" of other boards that are even sometimes hidden.

V.I.P. Only Source - PM Box holds 100 PM's and you have the option to log-in under "Invisible Mode" for extra security. This is an elite source that may not wish to advertise on the open classifieds. To become a V.I.P. Only Source you must 1) be an approved source or VIP source on other boards and be prepared to provide references. 2) offer cheap bulk pricing and good V.I.P. discounts to the Backstage Pass members. 3) provide some personal contact information which will be kept with an undisclosed 3rd party to serve as a guaranty against any possible scamming. Your information will be kept and private and never revealed to anyone except in the event of a scam. This level of safety to the customer should be a move that will skyrocket your bulk sales to astronomical levels! This applies to international sources as well.

From K-Msn
Good descriptions-thanks!
Have to say, I agree with all the above-perhaps ya need a newbie/trail Catagory option also. Plus as mentioned there has to be good back ground or refs/status to make a respectable Vet or VIP, let alone source Catagories.

It might be nice tio have a forum for voting as some bosrds do, wether it is for Vip's or Proven Sources.

As we continue to grow, it would be nice to have a separate Vet and Vip area so we can be sure who we are dealing with-when trying to stay safe.

Plus one of these days you will need a few more Mods/and a SuperMod. I have been around awhile and would be happy to share many decent bro's that would put your board first and protect you and your members...

Lots of good Bro's here and growing, great to see!

No offense Anon, in fact much respect-just Brainstorming Boss...

What is the difference between an 'active' member and a regular member?
