Getting Member role is Harder than it looks?

[ScytheSlayin (akorn)]

Hey! How are you today? I’ve seen this one person, @wevetments he is a very active person, I’ve seen him a lot on the Fourms, I decided to look at his stats:

I noticed how much work he has put into the forms and how much days he has spent on here, it makes me wonder, is it harder than it looks to get the Member role? People say you have to do soemthing great and get noticed by it, h. He even has close to 365 days visits! (a year if you didn’t know that lmao.) has close to 50 solutions and close to 1k likes, that’s something great? It worries me that even if I will have stats like him, I wouldn’t be able to get the role, what are your opinions on this?

Member promotions are currently moving quite slowly and have been quite sparse lately. Buildthomas explains this here:

Has anybody actually been promoted?

We are currently not as active in rank-ups because Developer Relations is working on a new procedure for ranking up from New Member to Member. So ranking up new people right now is iffy because we don’t know when that new procedure will ship. Moreover our current guidelines for promoting are somewhat vague and we rely a lot on Top Contributors at the moment for nominations. I don’t know exactly how many people have been promoted but it’s definitely some dozens of people, not just a couple or so…

Personally, I’d ask a Top Lead Contributor about that if I were him.

[ScytheSlayin (akorn)]

Sure! Should I dm them? Would they get mad?

[ItsKoiske (Koiske)]

Don’t think so tho it would be best if he himself asked.

[ScytheSlayin (akorn)]

Thanks for the help! I’ll dm him about it!

@Dandystan

However, I and three other individuals who have contributed actively and well were promoted to member yesterday.

Yepp you’re right. Were one of them

However, I believe it’s because of a system they’ve introduced. Most others have gotten a personal message telling about their promotion, while I got a system message.

We have several threads now on promotion to Member and you should pick one of the existing threads to contribute to. It’s tedious to have this same discussion over and over again. Refer to the response I left that was quoted above.
