Trusted Users are not people who are supposed to help or have a lot of free time. Trusted Users do... nothing. Look at them, what are they doing? LOL... Seriously, Trusted Users don't perform any special functions, as far as I know. Yes, they usually help, but everyone can help here, actually. And they are not so trusted, after all. If they were really trusted, they would have, say, the key to the room where there are the servers... lol Well, I just remembered that they can send PMs and they have an avatar. Nothing more than that, I guess. So the only cool thing about being a TU could be the fact of having an avatar... lol. We can already send PMs to mods, admins, TUs, if we need something. PS: I was forgetting... that said, if someone wants to become a TU, there's no way to become one, I think. Admins, moderators and TUs decide to promote someone every once in a while, but it's only their decision and it doesn't depend on, say, number of posts or language skills, etc. That's all. Kooyeen

	Francesca  +  427978 Sat, 06 Oct 07 06:39 PM LOL that's great!!! Now that I know that I'm trusted but not-really trusted, I do nothing and I don't perform any special functions but uploading an avatar ... well I really  feel better I think the administrators should change the role 'TU' into 'UU' = 'Useless User' ... hehe Francesca Joined on Tue, Oct 11 2005 Contributing Member 1,786

	Prez1dent  +  428004 Sat, 06 Oct 07 09:07 PM Ok. Thanks. And I really want to have an angel's picture. That's why I offered my becoming a TU. PS Hey, I've already written it somewhere: fix my profile, please. I'm still a Senior Member. Prez1dent
