I feel I still don't deserved be called "Senior Member", cuz I think I haven't given enough contribution to this board , and I have a lot of things to learn still here.
Just my personal comment.

The titles are the board's defaults, IIRC, set with very low thresholds. The idea is that it's more effort than it's worth to get rid of them entirely, but the admin have expressed dislike of the whole title-clique thing.
I have to admit I was skeptical about that when it was first implimented, but nerfing the title distinctions did seem to mostly work out as the admin intended. I can't complain.

I was confused by the low threshold at first (I think I was "senior" by the end of my first week). But it does make sense (no arguing about who "outranks" who). And it comes in handy; If it's a senior member, post count may be low but at least it helps determine if it's someone who may not know about a particular rule or something as opposed to a troll/spammer/etc. Not that those kind of determinations are up to me anyway, I'm not a mod. But it helps with how I'm likely to reply.

Serenitude has two email addresses in his registration. One of them bounced, and I got no reply from the other, and it's been a couple of weeks. If anyone knows him outside of BAUT and can make contact, it would be appreciated.

Ok now Serenitude is back what about blob he has not been around lately, his profile shows his picture deleted and does not mention when his last activity was.
