Starving Hackers may not run for officer or director positions. Being a Starving Hacker does not disqualify a member from becoming an officer or director at some point in the future, but a person must be a Full Member for at least the six months immediately preceding their candidacy for an officer or director position, and must be a Full Member for the entire term as an officer or director.
Starving Hackers also do not receive a storage locker or storage space in the physical workspace, and Starving Hackers must pay the nonmember price for classes at Pumping Station: One. [''These [[Starving Hacker Rate 2009 Amendment|provisions]] on Starving Hackers added October 20, 2009.'']
