Hi mictsekk,
It may seem strange that you have been here for a month now without promotion. Nexus is not like other sites in that respect. You need to give the mods a chance to know you a bit better. Folks usually do this by posting and replying in the Welcome area and/or coming into chat. Promotions are made on a case by case basis, with nothing being automatic. If you were to sign up then do absolutely nothing or just a simple post or two and a year passed, there would be a good chance you still would not be promoted. That's just the way it works here.
Please don't disparage or believe that anyone disparages the Welcome Area at Nexus. Welcome Area/Nursery get the most attention in my opinion, especially when quick help and/or answers to urgent questions is requested. Speaking just for myself, I have a HUGE amount of interest in and respect for people and posts in the Welcome Area/Nursery.
You know, if you have a good phalaris tek or something to contribute to current thinking on the future of extraction from phalaris grasses, you should post it in the Welcome Area. Not only will it get MORE attention than in the regular areas (in my opinion), it could be the beginning to the path to the promotion that you seek. If you want to reply to a current thread on phalaris that is in the general areas, you could start a new thread in the Welcome area referencing the original thread in both the title and by including a link in your new thread.
Hope this helps and a hearty welcome to you.
