So I submitted two reviews yesterday and just found out that they were approved today. However, it does not seem like the VIP membership was activated. Is there something I need to do or is it just a matter of time?

I'm not sure what is up with your VIP.  
If it's not there by tomorrow, I would send in a problem report to ask.

Good luck and happy hobbying!

After all, I was new myself once. As well as everybody else here.

Yes, I agree that maybe you should try to log out and log back in again. However, the fact that you are a 'newer' poster and reviewer, might take a little more time than say mrfisher. Afterall, he's been here a certain amount of years and has a certain amount of reviews. Therefore, it could easily be taken for granted what his reviews entail and most certainly be put on a 'fast track', for lack of a better term.

I must apologize if my post sounds condescending, because infact I do not actually talk like this. I find it repulsive and insulting. Not only to me, but to you, and everybody else on this board that has grown to expect the way I talk sometimes.

One of the reasons I ventured onto here was the idea that I could be myself. I didn't have to explain myself to anybody. My belief was this was a place that people, that came from different walks of life, different economical stature, different tastes and different desires, could congregate because they had at least one thing in common. And that was to meet people, of different ages, races, views, physical attributes, so on and so forth and fornicate.  

I was wrong. Dinchak, I hope you find what you're looking for. I really do. I hope your reviews come up, and the ladies you saw whitelist you. I hope you take heed, and don't take these boards as seriously as some of us have.

Look out for you. Only you knows what's best for you.

That you preached about on your earlier post.

You shit all over the established way it was around here, and now you go and revert back to the way someone else would've treated this guy before everybody lost their damn mind from the recent developments on the other boards.

Which is it?

You know, it's hypocrites like you that make me bat-shit crazy. You teeter on the wall this way when it's convenient for you, then go the other because that's the popular consensus.

Don't you have a mind of your own? Please tell me it doesn't reside between your legs....
