Hello everyone!

I'm a provider who's been on TER for about a week or two and I love it here! I've gotten three great reviews and because of them business has been great!

I'm just starting a chat because I tried to get access to the providers only board and I received a reply email saying I need to participate in discussions more and to try applying again in about six months?! Wow that's a long time.

I guess I understand but man that kinda stinks lol
Is there anything I can do about this?

Have a great day!
Thanks

...and possibly any other board that interests you such as the Gen. Dis. board. Helping to answer questions on the newbie board from your provider point of view would be good too. Pretty much what they suggested. Couldn't hurt to ask again sooner than the 6 months but only after you have participated as suggested. Not much way around what they want you to do to qualify. Many providers have stated that they want you to participate on the boards. Seems they would put that qualification out there where providers would know about it up front instead of making it appear that 3 reviews is the only requirement. Possibly the providers board is not moderated so they want to see how you follow the discussion board guidelines.

That's my 2 cents. I look forward to "seeing" you around. Have fun and good luck.

Ok well you telling me that makes sense now. Understood.
Yes you will be seeing me around so everyone knows I'm a good sport lol

Thank you!

Congrats on the reviews and business.  I have seen this come up before about getting on the providers only board.  Start posting on your regional board, participate in picture theme days if there are any, and post your ad on your regional ad board every 7 days.  If your regional board does not have pic theme days, there are some on the 60 and over board that you can join in.

I'd say once you have posted a number of times over the course of at least a month, ask for admittance to the PO board again.  If you have a sufficient number of posts, they might let you on.  The reason for the posting requirement is that admin wants to see if you are following the guidelines for posting.

Good luck,
