I think the system here for getting promotion to full membership ultimately depends upon the discretion of our esteemed moderators and The Traveler and it works well.

To get the 'promotion' I would suggest first and foremost reading the Attitude section, considering what you post particularly with regards to the questions you pose and a degree of patience.

Pretty much any questions you may have will have been discussed in the vast archive that makes up the body of the Nexus; the mods are immensely patient in pointing 'junior' members in the right direction but a little patient searching should shed light on most queries.Unless you are into advanced chemistry etc the answers will most likely be out there.I personally think that posting for postings sake 'clutters' the Nexus and is ultimately self-defeating as it leads to unnecessary repetition and can make finding the nugget of info you may require harder to locate.

It may be a cliche but its true-all good things to those who wait......
