Maybe like remove or edit posts that shouldnt be here, or combine threads if needed, or whatever, just as a backup if mods are on trips or if you need me... Not sure if its possible or if it could be done or even wanted to be done, but im here to help all if/when called upon...

High standards. Test. There's an idea. We should meet for dinner and have candidates eat out a 200 peso Ho and then finish their plate of fish heads.

To me, the spirit of this board has always been Guys making the journey a bit easier for the Guys who travel behind them. From the 1st time I signed on here I saw a wealth of information and I joined up as a subscriber pretty quick. The fact that I've been able to meet up with other board members to roll with while we do what we do was an unexpected bonus.
There are some here whom I hold in very high esteem and that's no accident. A lot of very reliable, well traveled members have left the board, left the hobby or left the planet but there are new Guys coming on board all the time and many of them have the courtesy of depositing as much knowledge as or more than they take away. They make it easy to vote for higher level access. Others treat the board like some kind of social club and are only concerned with their virtual social standing. I have no idea what kind of thrill they get out of that and to me that is not what access levels are there for. To me they represent a level of trust wherein sensitive matters can be discussed without hearing that shit all over the street.
This hobby in and of itself is a reason to attract the wrong kind of attention and there are some things that I share only with those whom I feel are trustworthy and whose agenda are, like mine limited to staying informed with the most current information applicable to getting the most value out of their vacation time and money. I post pictures of my face in Purple as well as the Chicas who stand to have their lives disrupted if their identities are compromised. Totally bucket neked goes into green for random casa and street Ho's and Ho's who are already out there go into regular paid access sections. Everybody has their own comfort zones. Mine works for me. Security is more of an issue for some here than for others.
Seriously, what board has access based on demonstrated levels of trust? This is not a personality contest, it's a pragmatic approach to making members comfortable enough to maximize their contributions and so far it's working pretty well so if Guys come on here, share new info with others, stay away from Chica/ monger related drama and demonstrate trustworthiness they'll have my vote and I suspect those of most others.

NAAA i'm not probationary, I'm a probie. :corky:
Which is all fine by me because I know i'm only green because they thought I was REALLY dominican all this time. Lucky for me real dominicans have taken a hold of the board and I can just ride the wave with it in my name going unnoticed ;)

This board is like the masons - deep, twisted and we all have our secrets.
Will we ever discover what happens in HQ?

I showed your wife late one night. Glad she can keep a secret! :wink: :corky:
And hey mi amigo, if you two decide to reurn to this enchanted isle (and I really hope you do), I've come across not one, but TWO pairs (yes pairs) of damas that I believe you guys would enjoy immensely! I might even post pics of them in a new trip report (in HQ of course). :lol:
Hope all is well and the leg allows you back out on the "pitch" my friend (I learned that term from Weyland while watching the WC w him).

Erik - for a member of HQ to spend time with Mrs Thunderstar - I feel truly privileged and honored!
During that time you spent with her - did you notice that after the first 3 inch's - it was all like new?
The leg is all pretty good now thank you - Ill always have a limp - but hey - I can walk. Dont do much running, but im not really built to run anyway.
Coming back to the DR? Its a difficult one - we love the beach, the atmosphere, the grumpy old Brit up the road, the cool Brit up the road in the other direction ( you guys can fight out who's who ) but for us - we have been chasing the dragon for our last few vacations there.
Perhaps its us - perhaps its the town - maybe we are just a bit bored of it.
That said - if we do go back in that direction - we will make sure our dates are the same as when you are in country and hopefully we can meet you and your new friends!

As Greydread said, a few posts up, it's a matter of trust, and of contributions to the board. (Ask not what your Board can do for you, ask what you can do for your Board.) It may be complicated a bit, because of the factually-anonymous character of a vBulletin forum ... beyond your screen-name and perhaps an avatar that tickles your fancy, you are what you post. What you say here, what stories you tell here, what pictures you post here ... that is all the members know of you, and that is all we have by which to judge the worth of a fellow member.
The other thing is that membership in the upper levels is at the discretion of the members of those upper levels. The nomination and the vote all take place "behind the Purple Curtain," and the favored ones don't even know until the day they log on and see that their screen-name has changed color. The bar gets raised higher for each level, and that's entirely appropriate; a probie's posts and pictures may be enough to prove him worthy of Green, but it's reasonable and proper to refrain from nominating a candidate to BoD until a few BoD (or higher) members have spent some time out on the prowl with him, enough to judge that he might be worth bringing into BoD.
99+ percent of the content of this board is on Trip Reports level or below. I have posted very little in Green, and perhaps I should be ashamed of that, but it's mainly because I haven't done anything (or taken photos of anyone) that I felt I ought to post, but that I needed to hide from the general Trip Reports public. (Why would I 'need' to post photos of fellow members, or of chicas who fear to be outed by a snitch?) I've been pitching my TRs for the widest possible audience, and I just hope that you guys have found them informative and helpful, or at least, entertaining.
My TL/DR? It's good to revisit this, but we don't need to revise it.
Re: 07/2012 - GREEN/BOD AND HQ MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE JULY 27 2012
I believe the written BoD requirements served us rather well during our last nomination. My vote would be to keep things as they are.
