Craig Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Just a not to say that you will now become a respected member at 750 posts and not 500.This does not affect members who already have respected member status, but are below 750 post.The change has come in due to the fact we will have more respected members than normal members soon, as you are all posting too fast!Craig.

peter e Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 CraigCould you not take into account the quality of the postings? That way we may have no respected members at all. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I think that anyone reaching the qualifying target (whatever it might be) should then only be granted "Respected Member" status if a majority of the Mods + Admin agree that in their postings they have made a tangible and worthwhile contribution to the Forum. i.e. encouraged its overall growth and standing and therefore deserve the prestigious title.(Lowers head well down behind the parapet and waits for the bullets to come !) :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cookie Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Oh yes, the crash, everything lost. I fogot about that. Scary time for Craig..... :o It's gone from strength to strength since then...... the more the merrier. :D Not sure about our Nellie though, I don't know what she's on but when I find out I'm gonna get some. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I think that anyone reaching the qualifying target (whatever it might be) should then only be granted "Respected Member" status if a majority of the Mods + Admin agree that in their postings they have made a tangible and worthwhile contribution to the Forum. i.e. encouraged its overall growth and standing and therefore deserve the prestigious title.I fully agree with Boris here...... surely the title should have something to do with what the member brings to the forum and not how many times they can think of something inane to say.Having said all that.......... I realise I am the queen of inane postings and am fully prepared to loose my title. Sigh. :( Yes definitely the mods and admins should have a pow wow on respectability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northamuk Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 The title PROLIFIC POSTER would be a better solution. IMHO. :rolleyes: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hmmm...my tuppenceworth.Any forum that rewards post counts with status of any kind is just asking for spam.Take He He as an example.He would post any old rubbish just to boost his post count,just to get some sort of recognition....That's not what forums are about.They're about quality posts and involvement....people making a difference :rolleyes: And HEY don't look at ME....I'm the worlds biggest spammer..BUT..you could reset my post-count anytime....it wouldn't bother me though....It's the being involved that matters,not the number of posts.Cheers.Shirl.
