IMPORTANT NOTE

After registering a lot of new members wonder how they can get higher access privileges.  They see the Restricted Access Reports section, and wonder how to unlock it.  

Pretty soon they look at their own profile and see
   Total online XX hours, and this month X hours  
   XX hours for upgrade

and then they start logging in and staying online for a loooong time ...

... until eventually they notice ...

... nothing is happening.  

That's right folks, it doesn't matter how long you stay on the site, it has NO impact on anything whatsoever.  It is utterly misleading.  


Here's the good news: you CAN upgrade your access privileges, and you can do it quickly if you get it right.  

If you want to upgrade your access privileges, you need to start making posts.  Each time you make a post, you get a point.  If you make a valuable post, one of the senior members will notice, and give you additional "Karma".  People who make the most valuable posts can get to a high level of seniority very quickly - for example a recent case made it to Conqueror in just a few weeks - giving him access to the prized Restricted Access Reports section.  

WARNING: your posts are all monitored by hard-working volunteers who value the site and want it to be the best it can be.  They are very protective.  
If you post spam, or meaningless one-liners, swift action will be taken against you and in extreme cases of spamming an account will be shut down.  

Conversely, if you make valuable contributions that help other members, the senior members show their appreciation and you can boost yourself rapidly through the ranks.

thanks for that detailed explanation

thank you for the advice. it was very helpful for newbies like myself.

A most valuable guide for a newbie to the site like me.  Many thanks to DArtagnan for posting the information.

I just realize this thing when I see my profile, upgrade mean we got smile icon.

lol i should of read this wasted so much time

OK, now I understand the process. I should have gone to this thread first

Just to make the point: most of the responses posted on this thread are excellent examples of the sort of "meaningless one-liners" that are watched and punished elsewhere in the forum. They got away with it here, but posts like "thank you" or "I should have ..." are an unhelpful waste of space.  

If you are reading this, heed my words, and do not follow the example on this thread.  Please be considerate of the other members when you make a post.  

If you DO want to say "thank you" use the Rating button to award Acceptance instead of making a post.  That's what it's for.

thanks for the info. I was wondering what online time meant. I still don't understand what "upgraded" means.

Regardless, it's good to know.

One good thing though is the online time lets me know how many hours i've spent on my little perversions.

Again, thanks grand pooobah.

Good thing I made a search before posting the question.. It is being answered here.. Thank you.. But I do wish that the user profile could show us.. the newbies.. how many post have we done for the hour and how long more does it takes for us to post again.. I was trying to post a few times when I receive the error of maximum post... I have to retype everything again

This will be my first trip to HK with the boys, it has always been with family.
This is 6th trip at least and the last one i had a taste of the sauna world.
and all the menu had to offer.
I wish So Cal had cool loungy suana spots like HK.
Anyways, I am wanting to try out the girls in the apartment spots.
Last trip I stayed with my cousin in Kowloon city and there was a WG a floor down from him, I regret i did not get a chance to try that out.  
But this trip going to be different.
I hope to be able to really access this site before i fly out on the 20th this month.
So far the info has been awesome, can't wait to see more

Thanks for this, I was always wondering what it meant

dude... you wanted to post this at the introduce yourself column?

thanks for the information i will remember

Nearly falling to the trap. I actually do not expect that it would be that easy to level up, however, I thought that the online's upgrade provide something.

Good to know, saved me lots of log on time now that I know time isnt as important as quality post.

Silly me if I only I had read this earlier. I had been logging in and browsing and came across this and thought great. Not that i left it logged in that could get me in more some trouble around the house. ;o). Like they say read the instructions but we males tend to jump in and read instructions when stuck.

how many posts does it take to have access lv 30?
assuming 1 post = 1 point

OK... I guess make some make sense post is really important here!! Let me try out there
