Can someone please explain to me the system on here? I've read a lot of the posts on here but rarely do I respond. It's just recently I started to chime in. My question is I've been a member of both SAG/AFTRA for 9yrs now. But when I recently sign on to this site here, I was placed as a "Newbie". I notice others on here have different names such as, " Morgan, Depp, Sean Penn, etc.. Is there a grading system here that I'm not familiar with? Meaning according to how many responses a person answer to a post qualifies them to move up, or is it that people just chosing these names? Please elaborate for me. Thanks in advance !!

It's based on number of posts. Check it out under "Go > Personal Zone > Karma" in the upper left corner. It explains the rankings.

this post will bring me within 5 points of Johnny Depp-hood, in fact.

Yeah, I work for Backstage and I began as a newbie too. Now I am Russell Crowe--and I hope that means Crowe of Gladiator or at least LA Confidential. I'm tough!

Thanks for the response Kinn and Jackie I always wondered about the names. lol !! Keep up the good articles in BS Jackie. Love reading them.

Thank you! Glad you like them!
