How to become a SRL *Junior* Member

As you may or may not know, the new SRL forums update makes it so you don't have access to all of the free scripts unless you have a 10 posts, and have been registered at the SRL forums for 1 week. I'm here to help others to find ways to achieve these requirements, instead of quiting.

Why has this been done? We've all done it: tried out a script and not posted any feedback. This tutorial isn't to allow you to leech again in the future, it's to get you to become in active member.

Here are some example of how you can increase your post count without spamming the forums:


Know a neat trick? Or maybe you know some scripting elements others have trouble with? Make a tutorial! You can help others and they will respect you.
Maybe you remember when you were noob and you need help, go to the help section and try to give a helping hand.
Maybe you're on the other end of that stick. Ask questions; you'll learn things. Why wait for someone to make a tutorial on the topic? The sooner you ask the faster you learn.
NOTE: Be warned don't post spam! You will be perm banned if you receive three infractions, guaranteed. Remember to make your posts useful.


Now once your a junior member, don't start leeching again! Take these steps to become a well respected member.


NEVER test a script and not reply. If it won't run tell them. If it stopped halfway through, tell them. If it work for 3 months, tell them. And don't forget to post progress reports.
Continue to make tutorials. Remember "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for the day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for life.
If you know the answer to a problem no matter how nooby it may sound, answer it. Don't flame anyone: you'll just make one more person dislike you. The more people who like you the better chances of being a member.
Post your scripts. Even if you make a script that make 180 gp a day, it might be what someone needed. People can then give you feedback and you can become a better scripter


What about the 1 week time limit?

Patience
Patience
Patience!
Patience is the only answer


I have all the requirements, but i still cannot see all of the boards: Help!?

Profiles are updated only a few times a day, so as soon as you have the required post count and login time, wait a few hours and the boards should open up to you.
If it still doesn't happen after a few hours, maybe you have your calculations wrong? Maybe you have only been registered 6 days, or one of your posts have been deleted by our staff. Even so, remember not to spam!


Take these steps to become a Junior member, and a better person.
