KB has several groups which you can belong to access different site areas and functionality. You can check your group memberships in settings under Permission Groups.
When you first join, you belong to the "registered" group. Over time, you can join the Senior Member group.
How do I become a Senior Member?
Once you have been an active member on Kiwi Biker for long enough, you will be made a Senior Member. This change is automatic once you have been an active member for the required number of months and do not have a negative rep.
What changes once I become a senior member?
Many levels/restrictions increase like avatar size, stored PMs, more configuration options for posts/blogs, ability to create user groups, see who gave you rep, use of animated gifs in avatars, sigs & profile pics and many other changes.
What is the L.O.A group?
This is currently the only publicly joinable group. You can join this group yourself from the Permission Groups page in Settings. Belonging to this group gives you access to the L.O.A forum which is used for posting adult content. Pornography is not allowed on KB, but tasteful nudity is. That's Playboy tasteful, not Hustler tasteful.
What's a Site Leader?
The site leaders page lists the Moderators, Senior Moderators and Administrators of Kiwi Biker who you can turn to for help with any problems on Kiwi Biker. They also dish out punishments if members misbehave.
What's the :Me tag on some members' names.
This tag denotes the member as a Mentor volunteer. These members can be contacted by leaner riders to request mentoring to improve their riding skills. Each mentor has the experience and patience to teach newbie riders the skills they need to ride New Zealand roads.
What's the Bike Shops group?
All motorcycle businesses that wish to sell their wares on this site must create a login using their business name then make a request to an Admin to be added to the Bike Shops group. This gives them the ability to post in the Shop Sales, Info & Discounts forum.
