Is it through time accrued or amount of posts?
: Do you feel comfortable patronising others as newbies?: Are you happy appointing yourself as official greeter whenever you spot a post by a newbie?: Do you complain that SH is nothing like as good as it was?: Do you feel able to join the feeding frenzy whenever there is a group attack on anyone who says something that upsets a regular?: Is your signature block far larger than the amount of text of your posts?: Do you feel that no thread is complete without a post from yourself, even if it's just to say that you have nothing to say? : Start to feel yourself that you are no longer a newbie: Mik69 's done a brilliant example of this - My advice for what little it is worth is to just be your self, at first you may feel like you are intrudeing. But after all everyone was a newbie at first I have found as a newb myself that if you post regular people start to reconise you. A tip is to attach an avatar (there is a post on how to do this in help section on the left of your screen) that way people reconise your avatar and your post's stand out to better- eg, when you start to 'contribute' to the site/ community and start offering advice (however small) to others because you have a genuine desire to help other 'newbies'....
: When others on the site see your avatar/ sig and think 'oh yeah, he's the one who's really funny/ a right twat/ posts crap to get post count up/ says some really interesting stuff/ swallowed a dictionary/ is a dark horse/ is really helpful/ sarcastic/ stupid/ intelligent etc etc etc - what i mean is, when you've been around long enough (or posted loads in a short period of time) and are recognised by others: Its absolutely FA to do with 'feeling comfortable patronising other newbies' ) I had a proper bee in my bonnet about 'still being a noob' - then all of a sudden I didnt feel like a noob anymore (see above) and have since been to munches and socials and met many of the people here in 'reallife', and now consider myself to be a regular
