It's not just about glitching. You have to be an upstanding member of the site to get the 'plus'. To get in only glitch knowledge usually means it was a major discovery or you really cleared something up.

Not exactly. Ask Abwayax what you need to do.

Of course, you can't just walk onto the site and post 20 good posts and discover one minor glitch and expect to get the plus.

I mean, look at me, for example. Without decamarking, I could not legitimately expect a plus. I have decent grammar, and I don't flame anyone (yet  :P), but that doesn't make me plus. For one thing, I hadn't made one glitch contribution. For another thing, I'd only been here 3 months.

Without decamarking, to become a plus, I would've had to start submitting good glitches, and I probably would have had to have waited at least 5-6 months to expect plus status.

Or you can just hang around for an obscenely long time (say, about two years should do it) to get the +.

No, please don't. I'm getting plenty of LOL's out of this!

As long as you don't flame people/use shitty grammar/use text-speak/generally act like a dumbass.

For example, me, as I was here almost 2 years before I got the plus. And I wasn't even here when I got it, I was away from the forum and one day opened up my email account and found out that I had achieved the rank.

In the vast majority of cases, the plus is granted by majority decision of a bunch of people who also have the plus (as well as distinguished and staff members). The admins generally don't plus people unilaterally (although we have the ability to do so). Anyone with at least plus can nominate someone else for plus. Only in very rare circumstances has a staffer blocked a nomination for plus. Having WOM doesn't eliminate you from being considered (in other words, I won't block someone with WOM from being nominated) but it might diminish the chances of passing nomination. A simple majority (at least 50%) is a requirement for passing.

The plus only gives you access to the exclusive board and a shorter wait time on name changes. Plus also gives you the chance to do "Quality Control" for the wiki (Glisp does this now), which is a limited version of "sysop". Additionally, when we need new mods or admins, we usually consider pluses first. Plus does NOT grant anyone favoritism, an exception to the rules, or immunity from WOM.

While plus might seem like an exclusive club (and in fact, we do have an "exclusive board"), it's not difficult to get in (as can be seen by how many currently active members hold this rank now). There has been suggestions regarding separate "ranks" of Member+ that would denote increasing levels of competency/seniority. There was also talk of a "Member+ Quiz" that one could take in lieu of being voted in but this hasn't really taken off.

A quiz, that sounds like a fun idea.
