How does a person get expert status?

Featured Replies

Staff votes. Cap'n adds them to special user group. They get new permissions. End program.

Cookies or cheese nips.

 

Essentially, if you make enough quality posts and staff notices you, someone will nominate you in the super top secret Res Experts forum. If staff can reach a consensus and the person in question agrees to supply food (read: cookies and cheese nips), then Cap'n bestows upon them the powers befitting their newly acquired title.

Would you like beer or wine with the cookies and cheese nips?

Why is it phrased as an either/or question?

I was always taught "Never mix the grain and the grape", but if that's what it takes ..............!

Really? I thought there were stat points, D-100s, and attribute modifiers involved.

swansont missed that class. You should hear him try to say "physicist" after a six-pack and a box of Chablis.

I can grow coral in a shot glass, does that qualify me as an expert?

But you would have to present it to all the powerful and dictator like people who are experts here and bow before them. laugh.gif

I'm not sure that even qualifies you as a bartender. How often do people order a shot of coral?

Much better.

 

Well, all I need to know now is where to send it (or if it's a party where to bring it).

Hmmm, what if i genetically engineered the coral to excrete tequila?

It seems to me that being a moderator or resident expert means that you don't do things like start threads (MississippiChem's chemical space thread noted and applauded.) So as a member I would wonder why anyone would even want to be a mod or an expert. I mean it is almost completely synonymous with answering homework questions and playing security guard. Swansont does a great job in his blog posts but honestly he could come down to the forum and taste the rainbow of fruit flavour from the lounge! Just sayin', no one ban me or nuffin' k . . . :)

As long as it does not need to feed on Cheese Nips to do so, that sounds like a winner.

 

I dunno getting rid of cheese nips in return for tequila seems like a win win to me

Blasphemy. If you ever saw the mod/expert rec room, you'd notice the orange walls. That ain't paint! Cheese Nip dust.

... so essentially you ran the place down after IMM stopped to clean up after you. Could have guessed so.

No need to worry. The conservatives gutted the FDA and stripped away all of the regulations on food products, so radium is actually the least troubling ingredient in them.

So the plan is still in effect?
