How does one progress from new member status?

Old Adam is having his fish and chips so i'll answer: the progress comes from number of posts.
And if you don't post trade ads.
If you post a trade ad you'll be fined with 100 position.

Love and peace!

There's the new member, like myself, and this seems to be followed by member and finally senior memember.

How does one progress from one level to another? Is there an exam to take, or maybe you offer Naim a loan. Perhaps it's based on number of posts or maybe lenght of service.

Can you be put down a level if you mention the f word (rhymes with ruse) or perhaps don't use NACA 5 speaker cable? A new comer needs to be told these things. One day I hope to become a member.

Or be a prominent high-profile Naim dealer and you'll get an instant senior status.

So if I reply to my own post a couple of more times I will progress from new member to member. There is probably a certificate I expect.

Thank you for the information.


If you haven't done so already, say yeah mon.

I did toy with "sad".

Brothers,

My only concern with the "Karma" status system is that it encourages quantity of postings, rather than quality of postings.

I have been a Forum member since 13 August, 2000 - and have contributed about 60 postings since then. During that time, I have owned more pieces of Naim kit than I care to remember - and have auditioned countless more. But I remain a mere "member".

While becoming a "senior member" of the Forum is not my ultimate aim in life, it does irk me a bit that it is quite likely I will never achieve that status. (It is possible, of course, that I will live to be 120 years and then become a senior member - but, by then, I might well be deaf and, thus, unable to provide the well-informed comment/judgement that you have come to expect from me!)

We have to accept that assessment of Karma status may not be ideal - but it is simple to administer within the Forum software and, thus, cost-effective for Naim. That said, the system is not without virtue. And achieving some status may be better than having no status! Enough said!

Cheers,
Rob

Hmm. Quality vs. quantity. How might one judge the quality? Perhaps grammar problems and "typos" would count against one's Quality Karma Points (QKPs)?
Otherwise, how would Adam and the reviewers judge the quality?
There is one other level, get to 10,000 posts and you become a Polar Bear!

White hair, then?

What's the big deal anyway, what does Senior Member "status" get you? Absolutely nothing, not even a free CD555.

?? My Senior Member status has gotten me several rides to all-expenses-paid holidays in St. Tropez w. top supermodels in Naims' own corporate Gulfstream IV jet! You need to talk to Adam again...

Perhaps a system that rewards absence of smileys and inappropriate apostrophes.

No - the Karma thing is just part of the Groupee package. I think I could turn it off but it is quite useful for flagging up the first few posts of a new member.

Oh, sorry Adam, I know I wasn't supposed to mention the Provence junkets...

Its the bank manager that turns my hair white

Or as Mr L said

Instant karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev’ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you’re ev’rywhere
Come and get your share
