Do you mean "Contributing Member", which refers to giving money to support linuxquestions.org? http://www.linuxquestions.org/member

LQ does not run contests and/or award prizes to the members post the most frequently, nor does LQ require that members "prove their worth" by demonstrating that their comments appear in a Google search. Apart from that though, bragging about your contributions is questionable at best, whether you are talking about how many posts you've made to LQ, or how many old ladies you've helped across the street, or how much money you donated to charity recently. Donations of any sort should be a personal matter, not a matter of public discussion.

I've reported this post, as it is neither a Linux question, it arguably can be considered advertising (of yourself), and I fail to see any useful, Linux-related purpose to this thread.

Personally I would say the main contribution that you have done is ask a tonne of questions that have already been asked and responded to before. When asked to search before posting you have been quite rude to some members.

I can see little point to this thread. TigerLinux- the vast majority of your questions can be answered by SEARCHING LQ. Before posting a thread, ask yourself these questions:

has my question been answered before?
does my comment add to the sum of human knowledge?
would anyone be interested in what I have to say?
