I didn't see this answered anywhere, but is there any sense of scale on how attentive you need to be to tagging to qualify for the priviledged account? I make changes as I note them, but I don't go out of my way to tag everything on a picture I can think of. The other methods of qualifying for it I don't have, since I have have neither knowledge of Japanese, or programming, or any new material since I go here for all my needs.

Actually, no. He shouldn't go out of his way to tag everything in a picture.
Just because some tiny character way off in the background has green hair does not mean the post deserves a green_hair tag.
Likewise, personally I'm kind of wary of tagging posts with "character_b" if he/she happens to be just a minor background noise when "character_a" takes up 80% of the image estate area in the foreground - chances are likely that anyone looking for character_b wouldn't find that post very useful.
Though to be honest, I'm not actually sure what the official guideline is in the case of character tags, since there are a ton of posts tagged to fit this criteria (which IMO is a bit silly).
Anyway, the point is to tag only what is relevant, as in "would someone doing a search on tag X find this post a useful answer?"

That would be my intent, I see a LOT of older posts that are poorly tagged in general, and have plenty of room for additional, relevant detail, but uh, the only time I'm browsing them is when I'm pre-occupied with other tasks. Anyhow, I'm just curious if there was any sort of public gauge for what constitutes priviledge member contribution. If there is none and it's based solely on whatever the moderators feel, then that's fine. I'll just continue as I have, instead of making a sit down effort to tag material.

I actually don't much like the overtagging some users do. At all. It renders the tags meaningless and clutters the list.
So I'll consider your picture properly tagged if it includes series and character, in the proper name order and typed copy: and char:. Including artist where known is a big plus.
(Almost) everything else is optional. There are definitely tags that are good to add, especially when they represent odd fetishes people might want to block or otherwise avoid (as a mod I don't keep a blacklist anymore, but if you upload futa without 'futanari' I will strangle you with your intestines).
But please please don't feel like you're a bad person if you don't add 'hat' to a post where someone in the background is wearing a baseball cap. Or 'blond_hair' to image #7,000 of Fate Testarossa.

You took my answer a little too seriously. Maybe if you look at his profile then you'd understand why I said it.
Perhaps part of it is that I act like anything I did in the last incarnation of this site lasted. Ooops.
And as far as the 'excessive tagging' goes, I rarely see anything I'd consider excessive, usually because I go looking for some specific fetish at that moment. I usually start at just start at the latest posts then go on to whatever particular bent I was interested in beforehand.

No, don't sweat it. In general people seem a little bit obsessed with the "proper" way to get a priviledged account. Just do your thing and the rest will follow. It's not like we have a 10-page questionnaire to fill before we can invite someone, and so you're not expected to behave as if there was one either.
