The New Trusted Cultivator Tag.
You'll notice that a few members have the new Trusted Cultivator tag below their avatar and post count. In our constant efforts to improve the site and the dependability of mushroom cultivation information for our new members, we've decided to implement this tag to identify members who have proved by their own grows and advice given to others, to be knowledgeable and experienced cultivators, as well as teachers.
None of these members have asked to have this tag, and in fact the first they'll know of it is when they log in next time and see it. Our membership here is fluid, so many skilled but former users don't have the tag. It's been awarded with only one exception to current, active members.
It doesn't mean that those without the tag are not to be listened to or respected for their advice and opinions, but rather that those with the tag have repeatedly proved to the staff here that they're competent to answer questions and give advice. Hopefully, this will take some of the burden off the moderating staff to try to read each and every thread.
The decision on who gets these tags is up to the moderators of the cultivation related forums. Please don't ask for the tag for yourself or nominate others. These tags, while an honor, are not intended to be an ego trip, but simply a help to our new members who often have to wade through conflicting advice on a new hobby that can seem overwhelming at first. If you're presented with two completely opposing answers to a question, and one of the members has a trusted cultivator tag, his or her advice would be your preferred answer.
The moderators are in regular contact behind the scenes, and we'll be the ones to give the tags, and to take them away for cause when necessary. I'm sure we've missed a few members who should have the tags, so as time goes on, we'll be adding more to the list. We really hope this helps.
