How do I get past being a “New Member?” :-)

How do I get past being a “New Member?”

Just wondering ... though it doesn’t really matter...

 

[Bradypus]

I think it is more to do with number of posts than how long you have been around You can give yourself a new title if you like. Just put what you like in the "Custom title" box in your account details. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/account/

 

[Deleted member 43985]

You must state strongly an opinion about which is better; shoes, boots or sandals then follow it up with the definitive definition of what a true Pilgrim is and then finally, as Bradypus states above, just go into your profile and change it to whatever you’d like it to read!!

You have yet to reveal your top one thousand reasons....

Let me stop. Too much wit can be....

Change status as others have mentioned.

...Astonishment and wonder are part of being-in-the-new. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to change...

 

[Antomuchacho]

Try going into every single little micro detail you can possibly imagine about the camino and post questions about it☺ you name it ,anything!! And every detail should have at least dozens of options on every genre e.g socks,gloves, boots, teddys, ear buds !! Dont matter☺

And joke but no sarcasm

Patience MacMac, patience.

Being upgraded is huge honour bestowed upon the worthy ones by the Great Giver called Ivar.

Ivar sits on high and uses a mysterious thing known only as "Software" to us earth -bound thinglets to identify the "Chosen Few" who will find themselves bestowed upon with a new title.

Be warned though my patiently waiting and desiring to be upgraded pilgrim award seeker.

It is an enormous responsibility to take upon yourself.

You will be expected to help, succour, be very patient with, share knowledge with and assist all soon to be "New Members" by answering their questions, quelling their fears, understanding their needs and remembering we were all new once upon a pre-Camino walk time.

If you wait, the promotion will come.

Buen (being upgraded-soon) Camino

You poor devil! You have a long while to wait for the wheels of change to grind so your status changes. Or, as suggested above, you can take your destiny into your own hands and change it yourself in your details section. Have you an idea of what description you prefer? I didn’t like the notion of being a veteran so just used pilgrim. Except for when I forget and get crotchety, it suits!

 

[Nomad Pack]

Hang on... So people are purposefully writing "veteran member"?
I noticed Ivar has Camino Angel as a sign... What must I do for the camino devil title?

 

[andywild]

Apparently I'm an "active member"..
The irony of me choosing to lie in bed for the last 36 hours watching films isn't lost on me

You must bring back orujo to share.

In order to be a "veteran member" apparently you have to have survived battles. I still bear the scars of my first "real pilgrim" skirmish and have only recently returned from the "Where does the Camino Frances begin" front.

Do the skirmishes with the moderators counts??? If so, I must've been triple double veteran member by now



PS (Geez, I hope I won't get minus points for this one as I haven't been out of my last 9 ... )

Haha my first ever post started something like... To all true pilgrims...
I have only to see the word tourist and camino in the same sentence and I'm battle ready.

you just go into your account and put in something else simple, once you have got sick enough of being a ‘new’ member to work out a few key strokes.

Does being a veteran member mean one is over a certain age???

 

[MagnusPompey]

Grasshopper, why do you ask?

 

[LTfit]

Although not sure, it would make sense if it is based on the number of posts. Maybe generated automatically but @ivar can clarify this.

 

[Mournes]

Simon,it is about the number of posts you make and age or the number of caminos you have walked nor length of membership comes into it.

 

[AndreaCT]

Bwahahahahahah!! My first Sunday morning laugh! What a great way to start the day and a huge thanks for all of your responses to MacMac. I don't have a clue what my title is so I'm going to look after I post this.

 

[WalkingJane]

H'mm. Let's see what my title will be. Good morning all!

HA! I have it too

 

[jsalt]

No! That's why, when I became a veteran member, I changed it to my own name. I just felt so old each time I saw "veteran" .

I remember being promoted at 100 posts.

I wonder what my next rank will be...
"Special" has a certain ring to it...

Stay new my friend. Life is short. My grandmother would always tell us as kids "youth is short, but adulthood is very long, enjoy your youth". Enjoy the walk, and buen Camino.

Hilarious thread! Thanks!!!

And you got the gentlest treatment for an intro like that that I think I have ever seen. A nice welcome and gentle hint from @peregrina2000. How lucky were you!

 

[Ekelund]

So nice to read the ante-Corona threads. Oh, the things we had to deal with back then. I do miss the discussions of wearing sandals or shoes, which rain gear to use or the best one: can you bring your walking poles on the airplane.
