Hi all,

Maybe I'm dumb but could someone tell me exactly how I move up from being a "Puritan Board Freshman" to a sophomore to a junior? Is based soley on how long I've been on the sight or by how many posts I put up or what?

Many Thanks

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

I wanna know how to be a super mod.

"From out of the depth of unbroken Infinfity arose the Question, "Who am I?" And to that Question there is the answer, "I am God!" -Meher Baba, died 1969.

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Christ, died 33 AD, ressurected three days later.

I've oft wondered that myself.

I don't know if this is still the rule but previously the criteria to advance from one level to another was as follows:

Puritanboard Freshman 1 Posts
Puritanboard Sophmore 500 Posts
Puritanboard Junior 1000 Posts
Puritanboard Senior 2000 Posts
Puritanboard Graduate 3000 Posts
Puritanboard Postgraduate 4000 Posts
Puritanboard Professor 5000 Posts
Puritanboard Doctor 6000 Posts

Freshman, Sophmore et al.

I wondered that when I first joined as well; but viewing user profiles helped me to figure it out. Now I am a senior.

I think we need a Time + Post formula for advancement. Say, minimum posts per year, maybe 25...about two a month, and year, equals, up a grade.....for those that read 'em all, but don't post that much......I'm ready to

All good though.....just a fun thought!!!!!

Posting meaningless

posts just to increase

your post count

is frowned upon!

Hmm, can I do that too?

+1

I frown upon blhowes

Nse', see what I mean?

Any excuse to increase your post count.

Then, of course, there is "the power of the dark side" -- that hideous strength available to the éminence grise to manipulate the count to read...



anything he wants it to

Should I respond and defend my integrity and risk further frowning down upon, or should I not respond and just let the cheap shots, the purpose of which is to just increase the perpetrator's post count, continue??

</pondering.

Mark Twain famously observed: "Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel." The up-to-date revision is as follows: “Never pick a fight with a person who writes in his pajamas.” On the PB, the line should read: "Never pick a fight with a person higher up than you on the post count pecking order, especially with a 'Moderator.'"

Certain Baptists have learned not to pick a fight with Rich. Amazing things happen to tag lines and avatars. "Can't we all just get along?"

I wonder if we can be made to repeat a grade level again? You know, for being premil or something for an extended amount of time?

Just kidding, my premil brothers!

I think it's still the same. I just hit 3000 and graduated.

No suggestion. Just messing with my Premil friends.

That policy is a little out of date. I will addend to it what I believe are some of the additional "essential" in choosing Mods and Admins:

1. Cold, hard cash.

After that criteria, we're really looking for a mixture of mods that satisfy a breadth of traits to keep the Puritanboard attractive to a wide audience:

2. A Mod that everybody wants to be friends with: Bawb, Randy

3. Some super-smart guy that reminds everybody else that they're not as studied in Reformed Theology as the people in their Churches think: Contra_Mundum

4. A Mod that will make sure we don't get too lax in allowing too many "posers" to join the PuritanBoard: wsw201

5. A woman to keep this place from sinking into being just a male lockerroom: turmeric

6. A few Baptists to keep the peasants from revolting.

7. A youngster whose hair we like to tussle now and again and pinch his cheeks but, deep down, we're thinking: "Boy was I an idiot when I was 21....": Me Died Blue

8. Some guy from the Northwest to prove that they're not all going to be cast into the lake of fire but, still, there's just something edgy and anti-establishment about even the believin' ones: victorbravo

9. A guy from Arkansas to prove that not everybody from the deep, deep South thinks smokin', drinkin', card-playin', and baby-sprinklin' is of the Devil and is convinced that Christianity was founded by Billy Graham: joshua

Hey, I'm in the PCUSA, I should get a special indulgence. (of course, #3 above would apply because, well it is a PCUSA church. If I have to hear Barth quoted in a nice way in a sermon again I'm gonna barfth.)

Looks like instead of graduating you've been demoted...if your user title means anything.

Hey, not fair! The poor guy's new! Hope you can take a joke, Grymir!!

It IS pretty funny!

Grymir,

Don't freak, bro. One of the omnipotent ones changed mine to say that I loved Joel "Heresy R Us" Osteen ( ). A little hazing is probably to be expected in the PB frat house.

OK y'all. That's not right, using my information against me, but I'm used to it. Barth of all people, heck, if my church saw it I would be crown as the next Pastor with a gazillion dollar pay check instead of my usual treatment Heck, Moody would give me an honorary doctorate if I affirmed such things!!!

Oh please, oh please, I'm beggin, I've covered myself with sackcloth and ashes. I've repented. I'll even say 5 hail mary's. Change me back. I do have and am considering switching my full time Bible from my great KJV to my new 1599 Geneva Bible. That should earn me a few points!!

As I recall, you started that.

I changed your title back.

Ahh, No more Barth! May God pimp the vestments of the mighty person who changed me back to my normal judgemental self !!!! May his church be filled with true Christians and not fakes!!

There should be a new title for Andrew. He's been a Doctor forever. He must be approaching the status of demiurge very soon. At least, Seraphim or Cheribim.
