Social Wave members are divided into Free Members, Premium Members, and Admin Staff. We want to make Social Wave available to everyone regardless of their ability to help support what we're doing, so there are few restrictions placed on Free Members. We won't resort to surprises like forcing you to pay a membership fee before you can read or send messages to other members, but we do encourage all who can afford to chip in to upgrade to a Premium Membership. Social Wave is costly and time intensive project. Please support us if you like what we're doing.

Free Members

Free Members enjoy full access to the Social Wave site, but do not have a few privileges that premium members have.

 

Premium Members

Premium Members support Social Wave by paying membership dues on a self selected sliding scale. Dues range from $15 to $100/year. Premium members have some enhanced benefits. They're allowed to store up to 1000 personal messages, have increased file storage space, had additional contact option privileges, and are recognized as contributing members of the community with a premium member icon.

Administrative Staff

The administrative staff are the head honchos of the Social Wave site (aka Sheldon and Mary) and they can delete and edit things that Free Members and Premium Members can't. If you have a question or you need help with something, send a message to one of the admin staff members.
