What is "Elite"?

[alimoalem]

i just read a great thread about DevilsAdvocate and his generosity in representing frankgomez75 in court. i was just wondering, what is this "Elite" title? and how does one get awarded it? not that i'm trying to get it; i'm just wondering how those that have the honorable title received it .

It's a rank that must be bestowed by the moderator.

I think you have to have over 10,000 posts (lifer) and then if you do something really special that the mods like, then they'll elliteify you.

I don't recall the details, but I know a bottle of Listerine was my best friend for about 3 days afterwards.

there are several on here, cannot think of who, that have less than 10k posts.

I honestly would like to know what/why some get it though. I have been on here for going on 5 years and i still have not figured it out yet either.... any more than you have to be helpful... but other than that, i don't know.

Grumpy Mod became Happy Mod for a few days as well...

It seems like some people (dmcowen, conjur, eaglekeeper, etc.) got it for doing something for the community. Then there are some people who don't really seem to do anything in particular but the mods just felt like making them elite for some reason.

The 3 donts

Dont be an ass
Dont not be a cool person who helps others
Dont piss of the mods

Anything else?

Get mod's paypal account, wait for title to change.

Most of them have over 10K posts simply because of how long they've been around.

I got it around 1500 posts, so I've made 32K since then.

WOW!!!! how long were you on here before you got the coveted Elite?

 

[WelshBloke]

Don't annoy the Elite's with low post counts!

Thats my advice

I agree that postcount has nothing to do with it. I got Elite around 5-7k and then custom title (Chief Ferengi then Grand Nagus) a while later.

What kind of kneepads did you need for the special title and did you post where you got them in the Hot Deals forum?

P.S. Got mine by aggravating the hell out of you all trying to get you to sign up for the Distributed Computing TeAms!

Didn't you get in on that Monica Lewinski-autographed knee-pad deal? Damn that was hot.

All I got from that deal was a "sorry for being out of stock letter" with some damn cigar for my trouble! :laugh:
