Just curious, but how many FPs, NiBs etc do you need to stop being ‘guest’?
I think I’ve had 5 or 6 FPs and about 3 or 4 NiBs now.

Guest who?

If you ask nicely they'll probably add you so you stop being guest.

How dare you. You've got uppercase letters all over the shop in yours. I have never been so insulted.
You've probably got a point though, it is fucking ludicrous. It’s just a made-up internet moniker I’ve been using for about 10 years and it’s just kind of stuck.

offlineMemberIt's nothing to do with who you are. Normally when JO'F is editing he posts the FP with the name at the bottom, with a hyperlink to past and future ones. However, sometimes when AN Other edits the FPs sometimes they post as Guest with the author's name at the foot of the text, as is usually done with Nibs. I don't think there is a particular reason for this.

I thought that, seeing as it probably takes a modicum of time to set up a ‘profile’ for a contributor that collates their work, they only did it for regular writers rather than create a page for everyone who happens to get something published, perhaps on a one-off.
This, for me, begged the question; at what point does one cross over this threshold?

Actually, I think much of this is moot as VCG has already posted a link to the thread tackling this very issue, in which Ed says:
"If you have had more than three or four front pages but are still listed as 'guest', then say so here and I will endeavour to give you the key to the executive washroom and the NewsBiscuit Loyalty card which gets you discounts at selected restaurants in the Basra area."
