What exactly is a "new member"?

I find myself denoted a "new member", but I'm not sure what that means other than an inability to play in certain tournaments.

 

My profile (at the moment) notes 21 logins, a 100% board completion rate, and a creation date of 2005. Surely by some standards I'm not new, though as I've had a bit of a hiatus in bridge playing I haven't had terribly much *recent* activity.

 

I do see a thread that suggests that the definition of "new member" is internal and subject to change, and given the goal of reducing abuse from newly-created accounts that seems quite reasonable, but... perhaps it's a touch restrictive? Or perhaps my on-again-off-again playing pattern has landed me in some odd little edge case?

 

In any case, please consider this a request to tune the restrictions a bit, though suggestions on becoming not-new within the existing rules are also welcome! (Alternately, you can tell me to get my sorry wretched newbie self out of here until I've hit at least the ten-year mark?)

 

Thanks!

While you've been a member of BBO for 7 years and counting, you have too few logins. I'm not sure how many logins it takes, I would bet at least 50. I'm over 2000 logins in the 3.1 years I've been a member; however that number is inflated by getting disconnected a lot, and getting on several times through the day. The 100% completion rate can be based on as few as 1 board - they go based on your last 30 or 60 days.
