[jelgate]

Because you a probie. You have limitations on what you can to prove you are not a spammer

Ok

So just how long does Probie status generally last?

[Meaghan]

I'm also a probie, but I'm assuming that it depends on how often we post and what the content of the posts are....the more frequent and more cogent they are, the sooner we graduate
from probie.

Their is also a join date component. I think only Darren knows the complete formula of when you go off provide status. That said you are mostly correct. Just be respectful with your opinions and you will be off soon. It doesn't hurt to suck up to Baggie

[Skydiver]

Getting off Probie is - generally - a combo of time and posts. THe exact formula is a secret, and honestly something that gets tweaked from time to time.

Like Jel says, just join in, please be patient and before you know it you'll be posting freely

Soooo, how long I need to be a member, that my account has been approved?

[jelgate]

It's not a set time. It also depends on post count as well and how often you post. The exact formula is constantly changing

Yo! Noob here!!

Greetings!

Well, I'm Rosie but you can call me Rose... I started watching Stargate SG-1 Winter 2012 on PickTV after watching the movie on another UK channel called 5* and it was moving too slow, by the time they were on season 4, we owned half the seasons.... I've watched SGU, SGA and I think SG-1 is by far the best.
I recently downloaded the free trial of Unleashed and can't stop playing it! This, next year, will be my first Chevron and I can't wait!
Oh, and my favorite actor is Shanks, and my favorite she-actor is Claudia Black. I think that's about it! I am going to start cos-playing as Vala and )Aeryn as well)

I come in peace!

Hi Rosie! Welcome to GW! There's a Welcome New Members thread in the Off-Topic Chatter subforum in the Comissary. Don't mind us there....we're just crazy.

So I'm a bit confused. I thought the Probie status was all about someone having to aprove your posts before they're visible. I also thought you weren't supposed to have access to your profile page as a Probie.

But since a few posts ago this seems to have changed for me. My posts are now visible right away, I can edit my profile, give reputations, leave messages and everything. But I still have the "Probie" under my name. Is that an error and I'm actually finally off the Probie status? Or did the rules somehow change that you can do all those things after a few posts, even as a Probie?
