Thank you so much for posting this Gingerly! it was greatly needed! many kudos!

This is very helpful! I think that I am a pretty active member on WI seeing as I only joined about 3 days ago, and I already have nearly 150 posts. I REALLY hope that this is not rude or bragging! I just wanted to let you know that i am pretty active. I AM SORRY IF THIS WAS MEAN!!!

Not mean at all Watermelon. I can see by your avatar and the stars and the green bar underneath that you have been helpful. It also shows a good amount of posts for only having been here three days. WOW...It took me 8 months to get where I am. I think I was at about the 300 post mark in January's end when the Scavenger Hunt was over. I don't make too many threads and I do pick and choose a lot of the posts I respond to. Mostly stuff I know and things I can help with. I think, as far as fluff goes, the only thread I fluff on is the Asian Rare thread.

No, this thread tells you what you need to do if you have been rejected from the Gift Trainee program. It is what they expect you to be able to do before they hand the status over to you.

I am so glad that you have posted this! I have answered and talked with so many people trying to help them understand why they were rejected and this guide will really help them know the reason!

how to do the 50 + posts that you need.

........Posts in the following areas do not count toward your 50.....

# 1...Contest Section.
# 2...The Polls.
# 3...Help I Need A Pet Name.
# 4...Role Plays.
( NOTE..Threads don't count, only posts.)

DON'T.....Copy and Paste responses.
DON'T......Make *fluff* posts.
Here are some examples of FLUFF posts....
LOL. Gee that's funny.
I don't know.
I agree.
Lalalalalala.
Hahahaha.

Please use full sentences or nice paragraphs when posting. Avoid abbreviations
or *text speak.*

HERE ARE THE DOs......

# 1...Welcome new members with a cheery hello. Tell them to read the FAQ and
where it's located.

# 2...Congratulate. Find members who got a new Webby or finally, their Crown
of Wonder, or other longed-for items.

# 3...Be Helpful. Look around the Forum for people needing help.

# 4...Be Supportive....If a member has lost items in Webkinz World, is having
problems logging on or with glitches, tell them you're
sorry the problem has been happening to them.

# 5...Join in on conversations....Go to Genl Disc/Chat and find conversations you
can contribute to.

ABOVE ALL.....Never, ever be rude to anyone. Talk to people exactly the way you
would want someone to talk to you.


We want you to be an active member of WI....Posting allows people to get to
know you....this is how friendships are formed here..the rewards are endless.

Good luck everyone!

Thank you, Gingerly. This is an important post that everyone who wants to be gifted should see. I imagine moderators don't want to wade through hundreds of posts to find 50 meaningful ones when they have so much other work on here to do. Maybe, if you have been rejected post another 50 helpful posts so that those are clearly visible. I like the suggestion of welcoming new people. It is so hard for them when they first come in, a friendly guide will help them along their way. Helping them helps you
