Although I do not believe that a members seniority is determined by posts and that the number of posts to become a senior member should not change... I do have an idea.
I believe that a member should apply for senior membership when they (can't be sexist, now can we?) feels worthy. That's right, just as one would apply for a credit card, so should they for senior membership.

Lets say that our hypothetical user, (Gee)Iam(Stupid), just happens to have enough posts to become a senior member. In our surrent situation, he would be granted instant membership into the senior club and all of its status privilages. Under my proposed system, the hypothetical user would have to apply to the -=[Senior Membership Approval Committee]=-, who would then take a look at what our user has posted (note: this would take some time... almost like applying for college!), and determine whether or not (Gee)Iam(Stupid) is worthy enough to become a coveted Senior Member. This approval would have be done by a generally unbiased committee of members. As mentioned previously, this would take a while.
