Here's a breakdown of the user groups for everyone. There's a lot of colours (we like colour -drooooolz-) and it can be a bit confusing at first, so here they are, laid out in all their glory!


Members
This is the first group that you will be sorted into. Everyone was a member once, so it is nothing to be upset about. It is not a jab at your talent at all. Simply, the only thing that you cannot do on PC as a member, is fill requests. Everything else is open to you! The challenges and battles are open to everyone, so a member shouldn't feel left out just because of requests.


Freshman
A member will be promoted to freshmen artist when the admins believe that they have mastered certain skills, such as blending, image selection, text usage and control over textures and brushes.


Sophomore
Sophmore artists have the same skills as freshmen, but they have that little bit extra. They show a certain flair, something different. They step outside of relying on tutorials and make things based on their own initiative that impress the admins.


Junior
It is difficult to get sorted into junior artist, though it is not impossible. These artists have all the skills of freshmen and sophmores, but they make things that are slightly more challenging. They have a great command over their program, and have developed their own style that can be picked out from other users.


Senior
It is exceedingly difficult to be sorted into the senior group. They have all the skills of the other artists, but they make graphics that are above and beyond, always pushing that bit more to make something a little bit different using the skills they have learned. Seniors are generally artists who have been making graphics for a long time, and are the best artists on the board.


Moderator
There are different sub-groups of moderators who do different tasks around the place, but their general effect is the same: AWESOME. They are wonderful wonderful people who dedicate their time and love to this little site, and help keep it on it's feet. They perform the small menial tasks that keep this place running, and we'd be lost without them. Spots on the Moderator beat are by invitation only, or by application when asked for.


Head Moderator
These are the Mad Scientists of the forum. They're Mods and Staff who go above and beyond the call of duty and have serious dedication. They help the admins run the site and deal with any rule-breakers or issues that might be too serious for our little Moddikinses. They're LOVELY people who dedicate so much time to PC and to making it a great place to play.


Admin + Vice Admin
The admins are the head honcho's, and are in charge of the entire board. They keep the members in line, they decide on the do's and dont's and they wave the ban sticks around like lollipops. Sekritly they're really nice people who love cuddles and kittens and all things sweet, but they'll do whatever they need to to keep PC a friendly place to be.



Artists from freshmen to staff are entitled to fill requests, and therefore are encouraged to do so! Anyone is able to participate in Challenges, Battles or the 100 challenges, so go wild!

Promotions usually take place every month, and are decided by the admins.
