Promotions happen periodically (see how you can earn it below) but can also be promoted quicker by donating.
Worthiness is determined by posting and being nice and helpful to your fellow members!
We LOVE active members and getting to know people. That's what it's all about, right? Donating and getting more people to join helps, too. Especially getting new members. Big plus in our book. If you're caught advertising, you get something really nice! Donating cheese also(KiKo) helps.
The ranks above the entry level will change often and will be given to worthy members.
