Permanently a new member? Restriction on freedom of expression?

[sbios]

I'm really curious what's the longest ever someone as an active "new" member to become a "regular" member. I've joined the community in 2016, answered a bunch questions, and even wrote up a personal essay. It feels like a school entrance exam where some rich kids with connections got to attend the school just because.

Is the fastest way to become a regular member having another member vouching for him/her? It feels like a catch-22 when there are ideas/experiences I want to share but unfortunately "NEW" members are not allowed. I can understand the logic to keep the community under some sort of vetting process, but I do feel that at the same time it seems writing up a personal essay, answering tons questions and being somewhat active for a year isn't enough to show.

Not to flame or place blame, but I just feel stifled where many ideas and thoughts I'd like to share were still blocked while I have no idea how long it's going to keep like this. Any suggestions?

I was browsing this forum for at least a year before I finally realized it is a seedling.

I thought it was a strawberry.

I hope I don't get revoked for this confession...

You can have mine to or give me some water infused dmt-fumurate, so i can grow bigger.

My most positive manifestation wishes for your aqueous DMT fumarate infusion. It is yours.

(I added some DMT oxalate to the avatar, 'cos it was easier.)

If you have done DMT. You are already a full member. Plus you have found a community of like minded people that you can commune with and learn from. It'd say that's a pretty solid win no? This is me beign sarcastic, but what do you imagine will happen when you become a full member? lol

Peace

It's a good perspective... I wonder if any member who has not done DMT :roll: (In fact, if you think about it, almost everyone on the planet has done DMT!) My point being that some areas are off-limit to new members and new members cannot post comment to those areas in the forum. So that's the extend to the limit of how a new member can commune with others, but I totally understand the need to keep the integrity of the community.

So now we have party! :twisted:
