How Do I Become...

Elite
Definition: 1. privileged minority: a small group of people within a larger group who have more power, social standing, wealth, or talent than the rest of the group

Aka. A select few who have good quality posts, people who don't flame or start fights(we try to stop them). We think about the topics at hand and post what we think with reasons and examples. We just don't go around spamming serious threads with bullshit.

Elites are voted on by other elites, mods, and admins. Honestly, when i became an elite, i knew nothing about it til i saw the thread announcing it. It's not like it being Green is so spaztastic that you need to spaz about not being an elite. We are just members who care about what they say and where they say it and who is doing what where. The other perks of being an elite are kinda not as active as you might think, the Whole extra room isn't exactly active all the time, and it's not like we have any special threads in there.

So don't go asking to be an elite member of our beloved forums. We watch your posts and then decide who should be a new elite, then vote. Nothing you can say can do anything to make it a faster process or something of that, but if you spam in serious threads or flame over stupid things and make a LPF War like what happened last year, then you'd better believe that there wouldn't be any possible elites that were helping fuel the flames.

Thats my rant

enjoy

I completely agree with your rant! If you need to ask,you probably won't get it!

I don't think post count or join date is the issue. And sometimes people rep each other for no good apparent reason (lol). It's how helpful you have been since you've joined LPF, and how much respect your posts will be given to by others. If you have the integrity and helpfulness, you will eventually be an elite. There are a lot of elites who don't even visit the site anymore, not that I think they should be stripped of their greeness, but I think new selections should be made. I see a lot of people these days who have great potential as Elites. :D

ok this took me half an hour :D

ok as you can see it username and last login

i didnt add admins...

OK so it was fun to see how many spammers and members with >10 posts we have :>

ok so this is what my story is:

our admins arnt active post wise but they do their job by being here so good job there

our mods are the same but we have active mods like hailey who are also awesome to talk to

so good job there mods!!!!

now fo the alite as you can see there are ALOT of them, and many of em join every now and then to make a odd post and some are lost and some are active

this was just something i wanted to do

and it was fun

peace out

(btw this has nothing to do with someone getting elite or losing it and like i said it was something i wanted to do)

Wow, lots of time huh? lmao

There's a handful of Elites who haven't visited in more than a year, but I just noticed how MANY elites there actually are.

lol maby if you swear less :p ya very true

but like i said inactive admins...
i dont swear to much! :'(

ACTUALLY.

why dont they get rid of the elite system bc i mean they're not mods, so whats the point of them even being here? its unfair to other member that they get all these privaliges just because they're bumchums of people at the top.

instead of a LPF war, there should be a LPF Bolsheviek revolution!!!

Honestly, in my opinion, i think the members who are Green, or any member for that fact, should have their accounts deactivated after a certain amount of time. That way we can keep the number of Elites and stuff down, and members who dont do anything for like a year shouldn't be allowed to keep their account.

Just my thoughts

Don't rush it, things come gradually. You have to prove your abilities and helpfulness on LPF.
Exactly. I was on here a year or so before I became Elite, and that was only after i proved how good of posts i put up and things like that. If you join then suddenly say I WANT TO BE ELITE!!!! It wont happen. We have to see how helpful you are on the forums and things like that

I don't think their accounts should be deactivated.. there is no benefit to that.

I do think, however, that inactive elites should be "demoted," so to speak, to regular members.

I only said Deactivate them as an "For Instance". Demoted them could be just as useful.

This is my stand point as a member, and not as a mod.. I speak for my self and not for the staff:

I believe the elite system should be done away with.. IT has created problems in the past and is boung to create problems in the future.. and, the fact is, it has been along time since we have even promoted any one to the elite status.. and even if you do get promoted to such a thing it takes awhile. I don't like the elite system, and it is not needed.. But, we do need to either update it, or get ride of it..

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with the two of you.

And my .2 dollars are that any class distinction beyond staff vs. regular members is more than unnecessary. Not to mention how a few elites, whose names I won't mention, have taken their status as a pedestal and talked down to other members.

I'm just one voice out of many but I say boot it.
