Scholar Status and You
On ATS we have various statuses that member's need to achieve in order to participate in certain forum's. For the writing forum they need
Writer status for example, for the debate forum they need
Fighter status and finally for the research forum they need to achieve what's known as
Scholar status. Without it, you simply will not be able to post any contributions to said forum's.
To achieve Scholar status - which is only to be achieved upon the acknowledgement that an effort to maintain it will be needed, you first of all need
to PM either
myself,
ADVISOR,
Davespanners or
Sauron. We'll do what we can to give you the appropriate
status enabling you to participate in this forum as without it, as I have highlighted above, you won't be able to post without it. So please, do not
attempt to do so as others before you have.
Please remember though that If you do not do the following, you also run the risk of
losing your scholar status thus losing the ability to post
in this forum.
(1) Upon receiving Scholar status we expect you to be posting in a research project, one you have either
created yourself or one you have been
accepted as participating in, with-in around 4 weeks or your status
will potentially be removed.
(2) If a research project is not completed all participants will potentially
lose their scholar status.
The research forum is about setting a higher standard on ATS. It's here so keen researchers can show off their work and in turn bring us that little
bit closer to finding out the truth in regards to their chosen topics. It's not solely about achieving a new status and It's not about posting
one-liner comments which add nothing to an existing project either. This is here to set the higher standard.
So, bearing this in mind and if you think you're ready to fully participate and take on a project working towards bringing quality content here, and
after reading our
Research Guidelines thread of course, please do remember to take
this status seriously. If not, you'll surely lose it.
