I consider it a test of my patience. (which I have never been good at)

The reason for this is that "senior member" status is currently linked to the number of posts a user has made. This, unfortunately, rewards trollish behavior. [constantly posting is an aspect of being a troll, not the full definition, but an aspect]

A better way to determine Senior Member status would be by time elapsed since sign-up.

...hope some moderators can institute that change,
