professional levels assigned
Monday, October 20, 2008 by gmc2 | Discussion: OS Customization
now I'm curious. these levels (citizen, apprentice, etc.) appear to be assigned by WC, so what is the specific criteria that is applied. I have uploaded eight blinds and participate in the foums (mostly sniveling but some offering of suggestions) and I am rated a citizen. I notice others with far less uploads and minimal participation being rated apprentice.
I mean my existence is not dependent upon being recognized for my efforts but if I had some goal that I wanted to attain it would be nice to know how to accomplish this and what criteria I need to comply with.

Word of amateur advice here:
You do not have to be a skinner. If you can skin....great, keep on doing it.
But if you can't, at least you have to be active around the forums and help people and be funny and do something to show that you're worth it.
Long story short: Just impress the mods ![]()

Well I'd like to think so but there has been doubt raised here and there.
oh oh, I guess my contrary stroking feather ruffling approach to life won't be helpful on that one.

It's not as easy if you are not a skinner, but being just a skinner isn't enough either. Did that make sense?
I always look at the promotions each month and non skinners do get promoted. You might want to say that it's more about being a good community member and being active in the community that gets one promoted. At least that's how I see it.

ZubaZ is a good example . . can't skin for shit.

In that order, they do.
But mostly, I just use the booze first, so I don't really get to use the cookies and coffee ![]()

Wimpy, It took me four years to get my first promotion. It will come, if you are an active member, in good standing, be as helpful as possible, and send Zubaz Lots of Karma.... Oops! Did I say that last part aloud? ![]()

and you know that I am particpating in other websites, how?

Moderators wouldn't be where they are if THEY didn't participate in other skinning community websites. I regulary visit and contribute to 4 others and not as regularly half a dozen more. Taking all the mods together that's quite a few sites where you can be noticed.

Many of the Wincusto admins/mods are members of 'all' the skinning sites....even ones long gone...![]()

I'm in the way of knowing there will be some modification to the descriptions soon, but it's not my place to say what.
