Where's the private lounge?

[sneaky]

This badge is granted when you reach trust level 3. Thanks for being a regular part of our community over a period of months. You’re now one of the most active readers, and a reliable contributor that makes our community great. You can now recategorize and rename topics, take advantage of more powerful spam flags, access a private lounge area, and you’ll also get lots more likes per day.

Where’s this coveted private lounge? Can’t seem to find it through the “Category” menu.

Oh you didn’t get the email they sent you??? They said you can’t come in. It’s ok I’m not allowed in either

[sneaky]

I have nothing in my email from OG.com.

So why we were hand picked out from this private lounge?

[Hoodini]

Or they could be planning a surprise party in there for you. That’s why you can’t find it right now.
But seriously I don’t know I don’t have it in my category list either. But that could be because I’m still just a member. But if I post enough times on your thread someone is bound to look and answer

[Hoodini]

I think it’s because we are to cool and are such awesome growers that the others are jealous and intimidated. . . But don’t tell them I said that

[toastyjakes]

we dont have one.

we have shark tank.

not available to newer/low permissioned users

but a cursory search by “UTFSE” wouldve turned up what I just told you…

stop calling out imaginary witches

[sneaky]

The notification posted in the OP does not state that one should search for UTFSE.

I think we need a private regular lounge coz then some of us can feel that we’re above the rest.

There is not a private lounge here at Overgrow.

[sneaky]

Thanks for the staff reply.

I was just puzzled by the Regular badge message posted in the OP, the bolded part.

It’s all clear now, this thread can be closed.

I have a private lounge, though I can’t give details because nobody will tell me where it is.

There is now more than 100 members with status of Regular user.

So the Private lounge is now officially open

FYI - apparently this privilege can be earned and then revoked. I am not sure what I have done to get mine revoked.

Explaining user trust levels and permissions

I’ve created this handy overview of user permissions. Basically all users after registration start on trust level 0 (New User) and their trust level is increased with their participation (by visiting, reading and posting). One exemption is Leader (tl4) which is promoted by admin manually. Want an illustration? [image] Visitor → Novice → Regular → Leader → Elder Seems like great starting point for our user trust system, though we changed a few names. So in our case it is as follows: 0 (New) →…

OK I guess I understand how that works now, but I am wondering how just it is. In many cases, a user’s activity over the past 100 days may be out of their control - due to illness or some other extenuating circumstances.

The result of the way this user level functions could be that a long-time member and contributor could get sick (or otherwise be unable to post much) and then return to find themselves demoted.

I’m not butthurt about it and I realize I haven’t been as active as I once was, so this is just casual feedback about the way this works.

[toastyjakes]

Yea… The continuation of reading and posting and liking to maintain user levels aren’t ideal but I’m guessing it’s the way the web application runs…

You are right, but the line must be drawn somewhere. The best is not to be dependent on access to the Private Lounge and just take it as a welcomed bonus. (Always use PM for time sensitive communication)
