Regular Member Status and Access
To increase the security and privacy of the regular members of Christian Survivors Forums there are different levels of access that are granted to members based on their level of activity on the forum.
When a new member joins the forum they are automatically given a limited level of access, and their status is set as Registered Member until they have posted 50 posts.
Registered Member access is as follows:
Forum News
The Lounge
Introducing Myself
Resources
Cloudy Days
Rainy Days
Creativity Corner
Signature and html help
Fundraising
Need help? Ask the Staff
Member Concerns and Resoulution Place
The Mercy Place
Awakened by Grace
Inspirations
Affirmations
Abounding in Grace
Special Skills
Journalling Workshop
The Chill Zone
Sunny Spot

Once a member reaches the set amount of posts, they are granted Regular Member status and gain increased access to some forums that are more sensitive than the forums that are visible to guests and registered members.
Regular Member access includes the following forums in addition to those listed above:
Stormy Days
Running the Race
The Mercy Place
Point of Grace
(The descriptions of these forums can also be found on the Public Forums description page.)
In addition to the increased access, regular members are also able to view profiles of the other forum members, and view the Who’s Online page.
Access to more private forums can be granted by request if a member meets the requirements to access them. Members can ask for access to private forums by posting in the Need Help? Ask the Staff forum.
(Information on the private forums at CS can be found on the Private Forums description page.)
Members must maintain a level of activity in the private forums, and on the forum as a whole, to retain their status as a Regular member. If an individual has not posted on the forum in 2 months time, they will be reduced back to registered member access and will have to re-qualify for regular member status. They will also lose access to any private forums that they previously had. In order to regain their access to these, a member whose access has been reduced back to registered status will have to post consistently for the required periods of time.
Any member that does not post in the private forums for a period of 2 months, even if they are posting regularly on the open forum, will lose access to those private forums.
It is important that members remain active. It is not fair to newer members that have gained access to the private forums for inactive members, that they do not know, to be able to access and read their posts in private forums.
