I know this topic is generally covered in the FAQ [etc] section of this site, which I've read numerous times, but I still feel the need, in case times have changed [and so on] to ask:
What exactly should a citizen [like myself] do to acquire a higher status? Apart from contributing to the site throughout the many libraries of art and forums......
I guess what I mean is - How can a person, like myself, let others know of my interest in "promotion"? Not promotion for ANY OTHER reason EXCEPT for a chance to [for one] vote and rank submissions. I see lately there are many people who vote unfairly, based on personal biases, opinions, or worse yet: petty battles amongst others who would rather get their point across by giving great wallpapers poor votes. It's just unfair. If you need proof of my dedication, just open the many many many windows and wallpapers I've commented on and look for a hostile or "unfair" response to someone's submission.

"Tact" is something perhaps some overlook when commenting on and voting on a submission. [in my experience anyhow]
My point? Just try not to overlook the wall-flower over here.. heh...
Love the site, Going to love the subscription even more
Take care all, Spyderbyte [Dan]
