Hi everyone...
At the Atlanta show, I brought up to Julius and Herp the topic of names. I wanted to put this out on the site, and see what others think.
Bluntly put, I think we need another system for giving members name ratings. Upgrading a member strictly on posts is very inaccurate. There are those here (and you know who you are) that post at everything, just to get your posts up and upgrade your name. I have seen some that have gone from a newbie to a ninja in just a few days. That is just not right!! On the other side, there are those listed as newbies that are highly skilled in rept's, but just choose not to post much. What can be done?
I think it is harmful for those new to our site to take the advice from someone listed as an expert, when in reality they know nothing but how to make a 2 word comment to others' posts. Saying LMAO should not count as a post, or at least not in consideration to an upgrade.
This reminds me of the Holiday Inn commercials. "Are you a doctor?" "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express."
We need a better way of distinquishing the REAL experts from the fakes. I am listed as an expert...but I know that I am not. Comments??

I agree, I don't post to bring my rank up, I even asked Julius to change my rank because I dont want to mislead people, I just like to post! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] But I agree with you

It's a good idea, but tricky... Unless someone can talk the admins and vets of the site into interviewing a member when they wanted their rank upped, it would be hard to arrange a system of ranking based on actual knowledge and experience.

I agree with you, I am sure it would be hard to do. But I do think that we need to do something, or at least put all these "expert" minds together on it.

I can only speak for myself, but after being here awhile, I kinda pretty much ignore the ranks....other's change them to something more personal. i.e. BWsmiths is the "Resident Hot Head" He works with hots, Kogoz remains "The Annoying teen", etc.

This is something that has never really been a problem here. Yeah some post at everything and then some post very little. Usally you can gather from the expression's and word's if the person or person's in question really know what they are talking about or not? There are several people that frequent the site that have been here a lot longer than I have and still only have the "Title of Ninja" or lower. Me personally I don't see where it cause's problem's it was just something fun that was added on the side to keep it interesting. Also I don't mind someone that's a newbie comming on here and giving me advise. The way I see it I don't know it all and will never know it all and I learn something new everyday.

Rank means nothing. Please ignore it. But I don't wanna lose my guru of poo status so pleaaaaaaase don't make em do away with it all. LOL. Anyone who wants a personal ranking...msg eddie...I have changed way too many this week for people...the next one that asks me won't like what I give them, I promise LOL.
Everyone is an expert on something....even if it is just at being annoying...if this is your skill, msg me privately for a list of people that need to be annoyed. lol

Ummm...
I think Lori said she would give out names from now on, as long as she gets to use her own words.... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Just shoot her an email at LORI_SnakesREule@redtailboa.net [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I dont pay attention to the "status" on the side either except to see what crazy status someone was given such as "newbie4life" and "guru of poo".
