What do you senior users want from us new fags?

I just thought of something that no one has mentioned yet - avatars.
New guys, if you're going to stick around, please get yourselves an avatar. It doesn't matter what it is (as long as it doesn't break the rules), just get some sort of avatar. It shows, even if only a little, that you aren't a generic user who doesn't plan to be active.

True. Half of the time, I don't bother to read a users post or spend time replying to him or her if there isn't a avatar. To me, not having an avatar isn't a sign of promise at all.
And, this question is directed at anyone who bothers to read and answer it:
What do you think makes one a "senior user"? A specific amount of time spend on the site, experience, post count or what?

That's a hard question to answer. All of them have their faults. Time on the site, for instance, can be misleading. I signed up in December of 2007, but I almost never visited the forums until this past June or July. As for post count, all it takes to get a high post count is MoteMote. Show up when that starts, and post in all the threads, and within a month, you'll be an elder. People probably won't like you though. And to get rep, all you really need to do is post stuff in User Uploads. Well, that's the fastest way to get a lot of rep.
I think it's a combination of all of those, time on the site, post count, and rep. Having just one doesn't mean a whole lot, but it's hard to bullshit past all three.
But ultimately, doesn't the user him/herself define what makes a person a senior user? That is to say, the person who is looking at the user creates his/her own definition of what makes a person a senior user. If new user Billy Buttfuck thinks that rep is all that matters, then that's what he's going to look at, and if Amanda Hugginkiss thinks post count is the most important thing, then she's going to think the people with the highest post counts are the best. After all, most of the regular users know who we respect because of what we've seen, not because of statistics.

I'm of the opinion that rep based on things said and not links provided/ youtube vids shown is one of the major factors; that's why I would not consider a user who gained all his rep through making sig's or videos as highly valued in our community; at least to me. Obviously I have a bias in this case as I would be considered as part of one of the two aforementioned categories. So my brains looks at post date first, rep second and post count third (when looking at newer members), as for the oldfags, I already have my opinions set and it becomes very hard for them to change their position in my head. Really, the best way to decide if someone is a newfag or an oldfag and whether they are worth respecting should be decided over time, after reading a handful of their contributions.

Alright. Thanks. That's probably the most accurate way to describe the idea of what makes a senior user. Guess it depends on perspective and a variety of things. I figured I'd see what someone considered a "Senior user" to be. It would help make it easier to determine who really is a senior and what the senior seems to want.

Then there's people like WhiteLion who always has something substantial to say, but isn't repped nearly enough. Post count doesn't necessarily mean anything too. Quality over Quantity.
Rep doesn't always mean much either. But rep is a little more credible then title of Elite and Elder
This is very true. WhiteLion, the Jesus, StaticChange, Ryuji, me, and a few others make rep mainly through our intelligent posts than anything else. I moreso spend my time outside of the Serious section where I'd contribute a lot back then, but it doesn't seem as enticing now. If you take away some of reps from whatever outside of uploads/favors/links, I'd be in the 30s or 20s.
I do think it's true that time spent, quality of posts, # of posts, and # of rep usually signify someone of high respect (in some sort of combination). Only those who spent a lot of time on the forums will know who to respect.

I do agree with you, i know you must be looking at my rep and posts thinking "and.. what do you know?", yes i am new to Fakku Forums, but not to Fakku. I am experienced in forums, and i do agree that the # of reps shows how well respected they are and how well they respect others as well, and those with the # of posts and with the % of posts shown on their profile do prove how active they are and how much time they do spend on the forums than others.

One of the things I would request a new user to do is if you are in the games section of the user uploads that you read the fucking sticky threads. Seriously, stop asking stupid questions. Also the request section is where requests go. If you are in say random and you want something wouldn't you think it is suspicious that on a site where there is 100,000 + users that there is not anybody asking for anything besides yourself. The requests that are in the user upload section really have no excuse. You scroll right by the fucking request section when you go to the user uploads section.

also, thread derailment is a pretty big taboo, we all do it from time to time but it's generally pretty rude to the original poster (though you may not care, so whatev)
