What Is Executive VIP?

[Zwielicht]

Browsing around the forum, you may have noticed some users with a white (or black, if you're using the white theme) username and an "Executive VIP" status, but just what the heck is an Executive VIP, anyway?

Well, Executive VIPs, also referred to as Execs for short, are members of the community who have been recognised for their long-term contributions on the forum, which is what sets this status apart from Jr. Executive VIP. These contributions come in the form of guides, accurate reports, or just being an all-around helpful member in the community.

How Do I Become An Executive VIP?

If your aspire to one day become an Exec, you'll need to first be a Jr. VIP and a Jr. Executive VIP.

Once you're a Jr. Executive VIP, you can meet the criteria for Executive VIP and receive an invite simply by keeping your account in good standing and continuing to participate in our community.

Whilst we can't reveal the exact criteria, we can tell you that the criteria is stricter version of what we use for Jr. Executive VIP.

Executive VIP Rules

1. Executive VIP members are expected to maintain a Jr. VIP membership in order to keep their seat in Executive VIP.
2. An Exec must maintain an engaged BHW account. Engaged means you're posting and working with other BHW members at the same level as when you were nominated.
   • For further clarification on this, any Jr. Exec who hasn't logged on in the last 6 months will be demoted. More examples will come later.
3. Anyone caught leaking content from these sections will immediately lose their Executive VIP status, receive an warning, and be permanently barred from rejoining in the future.
4. Unbecoming conduct from an Executive VIP will result in a demotion. If you're ever unhappy with the forum, please request a demotion.

Notice for pre-2024 Execs: Please bear in mind that in early 2024, the Executive VIP title was reworked to make it more inclusive to the rest of the community, and therefore the requirements and the members who meet these requirements have changed drastically alongside the Exec subforums. As you may already be aware, the original Exec usergroup had dwindled to fewer than 4 members due to an increasing lack of activity from the members in that section. If you wish to become an Executive VIP under the new system, please follow the tips above as it is no longer a system where your peers can vote you in. Same title, different usergroup than before.

Yes, you can become a Jr. VIP member again on the "Account Upgrades" page. Now that I helped another member maybe I'll be nominated! Haha

Well, no. It's more something you should aim and hope for, not something you should ask for.

@ContentExpert answered this already (thanks!).

Yep, that

(Psst, you need to be a Jr. VIP again first).

Not that I'm aware of. Anyone in Jr. Exec or Exec who's thinking of nominating a member usually watches the member they're interested in for a while. It could be months or even years before they decide to nominate the member they're watching, and that's assuming they haven't thrown up any red flags during that time.

Is there a list of current Jr Ex VIP and EX VIP ?

If I recall correctly, there was a feature on the old vBulletin forum that would list out Jr. Execs and Execs by usergroup, but it was either done away with or forgotten about when the forum migrated to Xenforo.

At the moment, I think only the administrators have a list of the current Jr. Exec and Exec members.

It's a great honor as you have to give to become a member of Jr exes. You have to give to the forum and also help others. I will say this, don't try to become it as you will become it if you do the right thing.
