Any admins wanna tell me how to get access to the MO area? Is it to do with the number of posts or is there some sorta quiz thing?

Ive been performing since the age of 7 and joined the magic circle when I was 19 and have been a member ever since - this MO area sounds interesting, lemme in plz

i think you have to have 50 posts before u can get in... i think

thats correct, i got an e-mail this morning, which im assuming goes out to all existing members and e-magictricks customers giving details on how your membership progresses and how many posts are required for each section

personally i dont agree with the "50 posts and your in bit" i mean all you have to do is type a different word in each forum thread and that makes you a magician??

Good point!! However, it is not a "computer automated" process. The general guideline is that after 50 posts admission will be granted, although this is at moderator discretion.

although if you wanted to grant me access id be more than happy...lol

yeah but by doing this it makes the site look popular because there are so many posts when actually there all rubish cos of people tryin to get acces to secret areas and dicounts

I wonder if the other users of the forum agree that "there all rubish "?

in my opinion this is a good thing as it encourages people to discuss stuff, and is also good for business.

the only thing is that it will need to be regulated properly, ie. not letting just anyone have access for typing any old thing to gain access

It is a manual process which will be regulated!

what you really need to do is fix the auto log in...lol hate having to do this cos i forgot to log in

as you have already said, this will be regulated so i dont see where people have a problem with this system

im not saying the site is rubish....
im sayin people might take advantage of the situation and write pontless messages or posts.
i think this site is very good and commend the makers

The question of who should gain access to a secret area is always a difficult one. There are a few sites out there that answer the problem by saying 50 posts and you're in and you could say at least that shows some commitment on the part of the poster.

However personally I would favour a 50 quality posts + one original review system. If it was obvious a poster was simply banging out short posts just to reach the magic 50, then it should be made clear their posts weren’t going to gain them access.

This system would at least assure that most posts were of a certain standard. No offence, but I would respectfully say a number of the posts I have seen since the new forum was opened are being made SOLELY to gain the individual access to the Secret sections of this forum and that is a shame.
