| Hi Everyone, I have received several questions asking how member levels work. The more replies you post, and the more frequently you post will increase your member level. If you are off the forums for a while and don't post for a few days or start to reply less often, your membership level will decrease. This is all automated. If you notice your member level decrease, you can easily build it back up by increasing how many and how often you post. Hope that helps! Thanks! 
Purrs,

Well, cat moderator, I've almost stopped even check the forums because they are so slow. I just don't have the time to sit and wait for something to happen. Isn't there anything you can do t speed things up? Now there is something new happening. When you look at the pictures of the new cats, and try to go back to the screen you started from, you get a screen that says the page expired - then you have to go back to the beginning and start over! I love this site, and it's almost getting too frustrating to use!

I have to agree with tonklady. As much as I really love coming to Cat Channel, I get so frustrated with long wait times and expired pages and pms that go POOF and dissappear. Member levels go up and down without regard to participation and time donated. I've seen tonklady and KATTY go from Guru to Senior member, overnight regardless of continuous participation. Now that probably doesn't bother them that much 'cause I'm sure they're not here for the glory, but for us newbies, it often helps to know just how experienced a person is who's posting an answer. Those ratings do matter at times. Not picking apart the Cat Channel, just trying to make it run better. THANKS
All kitties need lots and lots and LOTS of love!

| Here here Tonklady & Daisey!!! I do appreciate the explanation of the membership levels. Although I don't really care that much what my member level is, I watched mine go from guru to senior member and wondered what rhyme or reason was being used. I do have to confess that I was flattered to be elevated to guru, and was a little disappointed to see that I'd been demoted to senior member. And I have to agree with Tonklady about the speed of the site. It's getting worse, and I've gotten several of those "expired" messages too. I'd hate to mark the site off my list with several friends out here and a 12-year-old cat plus a 10-month-old kitten in the house right now, and quite possibly a very young kitten in the near future. It's been so long since I've had kittens, and I've never had a geriatric cat before, so I really do value this site. But jeepers, it's getting slower than Christmas!

You're right - I guess it doesn't really matter what our membership level is, but it was just such a surprise. I was demoted? What did I do wrong? And their explanation doesn't really make sense because I wasn't posting any less. It seems like once you achieve a level, you should be able to keep it.

| Hello, I too agree with all of you I know that when My level was guru the control panel said 3.5 posts daily now I am senior and 5.35 post daily somehow that does not line up to the explanation given. Again it seems like a demotion to me too. Also the lack of speed and the ERROR pages feel like a large wast of time and that is a shame when we all got pleasure out of trying to help people and meeting many new people I now cal good friends. So I do think you for that. But I fear that many will stop participating and just vanish as SO many have already done. You had a good thing going Please don't let is fall away. Sincerely.
~Katty ~
