How do I change from new scratch to member?

I am really annoyed by my new scratcher thing.

1. Have to wait 600 SECONDS just to post

2. I am not new, I know a lot.

3. It makes me look like an amateur

So how do I change it?!?! Please tell me!

You just have to be registered for a certain period of time and not be banned - then you will automagically be upgraded.

Re: How do I change from new scratch to member?

Promotion to Member comes 1 month after you first post on the forums, rather than 1 month after you sign up for Scratch, right?

You know, I'm not too sure. I *think* it means after you post on the forums.  smile

I think it's after you sign up.

I was going based on what freddythef said.

What do you mean by "after you sign up"?

Yeah, it's after you sign up on scratch. I was automatically a member when I posted my first post.

Well, you signed up before the New Scratcher system was put into effect; you were automatically a member as you signed up. People who signed up in the last month or so are "New Scratchers" until the time they have to wait is up.

Yes, what I meant to ask was:

Who said it was 1 month until New Scratchers become Scratchers?

Not that he would know any more than anyone else. I was just going from that. Sounds like a reasonable amount of time.

Re: How do I change from new scratch to member?

Wouldn't it be one month from when you first visited the forums instead of your first post? It's what they do with the forum registration date...

Gveradux's registration date is over a month old, though...

Scratch Team, please clarify.  big_smile

Perhaps the upgrading thing isn't working right?  hmm  Or it might be measured from the first post... I'm not too sure whether it's that, or the join date...

No. Even if it is after a month, it's not automatic. It just doesn't work that way

It does mean automatically - so automatic it's like magic!  big_smile

It's not entirely automatic, but it's just a matter of having the server run a simple line of code every day.

I asked the Scratch Team why New Scratchers haven't turned into Members yet; their response was that they'll be starting really soon - they just need to get the code finished.

Does that apply to the TBG too?  neutral

Poor new members XD
