Some of us don't mind AND don't matter.

I'm an excellent poster and contribute much to this board yet I have incurred many a wrath...💩

You're a curiosity, that's for sure.

Can’t have exceptions for a lack of participation, unless you’re really flush and want to “donate” to the SDS charitable organization... 

 

Me, I’m just tryin not to get tossed, I’m a cross between being British and being German, as it were, to polite to be honest,(British) and to honest to be polite (German)... it will and has been the source of many of my success and downfalls... 😁

Over the hill might be more appropriate for some of us oldtimers, hehe

I think you stay rookie status until Chandler#81 disagrees with one of your relevant points

Actually, the criteria changes to Veteran after having 10 threads locked, 4 Warnings & 5k posts. 

Congrats!😉👍 You’ve arrived!

I have said for years you are overpaid.

You sound like Management

Classic Rookie question.

 

I don't even know why SDS allows rookies and probationary posters to join the site.  I really think we should only be accepting new Veterans or All Pros for the sake of board quality.  

This just isn’t possible in the current landscape of NFL Message Board Free Agency. 
 

Posters like @Bill from NYC are rarely allowed to hit free agency, and if they do, they clearly have some unknown baggage that bidding websites would be concerned about.

Should we put @Blokestradamus, @GunnerBill and @BritBill in the International Pathway Program?

I was already in it but they allocated me to the Jets so I told them to shove it. 👍

Now  now now 😁

[Mr. WEO]

many at TBD still consider EJ Manual "essentially a rookie"

[BearNorth]

TSW may consider me a RFA, but I am an original Bills Fan since the day they were founded in 1960.

Been here since 1997. Guess i'm a slow learner lol

Hey rook, stop the whining and grab our luggage or we will duct tape you to the goal post. Again.

If I was in charge of this place I'd let @Bill from NYC walk and draft a FIRST ROUND CORNER to replace him.

OK but past results indicate that it would probably result in a losing season.

[Big Turk]

The only other way to do it would be for human review which would then be highly subjective and would open a whole new can of worms.

 

If you want you status to go up then post more. There is no way to account for someone reading stuff on the boards.

Ranking should depend on how many Fitz threads you’ve started.
