Lounge access in the NodeBB world?
-
In the world, access to the Lounge was handled by some arcane "you have to visit the site and post every so often" metrics.
From what I gather NodeBB doesn't have the same automated promotion mechanic (thank goodness). Are new* users still allowed, and if so, what's the criteria?
(*-ish. I have another account dating back to Community Server. But now that I'm not dumb enough to be using my real name, I'm posting a lot more frequently.)

@unperverted-vixen These days you basically get it by asking the mods for it.

Step 1: Go here: https://what.thedailywtf.com/groups/trust_level_3
Step 2: Click "Join Group"
Step 3: Wait
Step 4: Party if you got in, cry if you didn't.

@masonwheeler Thanks.
@accalia Did that a week or so ago. Still says "invitation pending". I assume that means I'm at least not rejected yet, although maybe NodeBB is just sparing my feelings...

oh. in that case pester @blubar. i'd say ask @boomzilla but that one and work are like matter and antimatter, not a good idea to get them anywhere near each other.
-
Sorry, a week or so ago I was pretty preoccupied. I missed the request.
-
@accalia Was that supposed to be a test to see if I'd fix that to @ben_lubar and thus am actually an active participant here, or is there really an @blubar hidden group? (Neither would surprise me. ;))

Not a problem. Thanks for handling it now!

@blubar is a hidden group with one member. i'll let you guess which member that is.

Eh...actually, that will be next weekend but it's a long, sad story that I don't really want to get into right now.

So there's a nodebb bug that can confirm slugs of hidden group names?

yes. if you @mention the slug and it turns into a link that's a 404 it's a hidden group. :-P

I don't think @boomzilla is into the occult or necromancy. He, of course, can correct me if I'm wrong
