There are four basic levels of participation here:
Guest
Member (Yellow Star)
Staff (Green Star)
Admin (Red Star)
Guests have access to a limited number of the boards and threads. Guests can view most research and discussion, awards and challenges, and board rules. They cannot start new threads or view any of the writing boards. At one time guests were able to comment on threads they could see, but due to some annoying Chinese spam, this is no longer the case. Guests do not have posting abilities.
Yellow Stars have access to everything but the Stuff in Progress - Secure, Dribbles - Secure, and NSFW boards. They can create threads and polls. New members get a fancy yellow stars immediately upon joining. No membership approval is needed.
Green Stars have access to all of the boards, and have the option to post their writings to boards viewable only to other green stars. There is no minimum post requirement to get your green stars: only participation. Once a yellow star member has been an active participant for a short while and posted two or three stories/chapters (or critiques, for those who read but don't write), his or her membership will be upgraded to green star.
Members must be at least 18 years old to qualify for green stars.
If you've been here a month as a loyally participating yellow star and have still not been upgraded to green, send me (Darth Fingon) a message. I'll try to keep on top of this, but even Admins can make mistakes. (Shocking, I know!)
The Admin is all-powerful and should be bribed often.
