    Ok, i've been on EC for a good few months now and only really just realised that im not actually a full member. I think its probably time that i apply for it, but the thing is, i dont actually know what being a full member entails, What is so different about it?

    I've seen that the admin staff have been saying that they're snowed under with applications for it and i dont really want to add to their load if im not going to take advantage of any difference the full membership brings.

    Being a Full Member earns you
    -the privilege of using the Private Messaging system to contact other Full members
    -access to the chat room
    -The ability to comment on Blog posts and Photos

    And don't worry about adding to our load. Put in your application whenever you want. :slight_smile:

    EC has been growing steadily for the past year or so, and it's probably going to continue to grow, so we'll probably be getting even more applications in the future. So you're really doing us a favor by applying now instead of waiting. :slight_smile:

    You'll always hear back from us, whether it's a "yes" or a a "no". As said before, are are snowed under with applications.

    ah, I fully understand and I'm sorry to be one more for you to have to deal with, on my tumblr network it took me literally weeks to accept or deny applications so I feel you

    Sorry everyone! All of us on staff are busy bees, and sometimes the combination of full-time work/education and pressing issues behind the scenes means that full membership applications can take a while to get enough staff input to be processed. But rest assured that you'll always get a response. And if it's been a while, maybe over a couple of weeks, just send a nudge our way. : )

    I heard from another user who waited about two weeks but has recently been approved. Just wanted to defend the staff, in that they are getting to these applications. Remember that they also have to develop and test new updates to the system, monitor private and public chat for inappropriate behavior, and also respond to direct user questions for help. (For example, finding mental health resources for suicidal queer and questioning teenagers kind of takes precedence).

    Much love, all.

    Haha, no worries. We're here to help and all that. Your application is in the queue!
    One of the reasons that it takes so long is that we need a certain level of input before we approve or reject people, and it can take a while to get enough.

    And on top of all that, they claim to have lives outside of EC too :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Alright everyone, this thread is fourth months old now. It's time to let it lie in peace. If you have any questions about full membership, start a new thread here or in Ask The Staff to ask them.
