Hi,

I am still a noobie, it’s not the quantity it’s the quality of the posts which change your label!  ;D ;D

 

[ECET0purdue]

[ante1]

Yes, I think it was 500 posts!

Besides, you shouldn’t believe everything you read!  ;D ;D

No it's quantity not quality, but I agree, it should be quality - we really should have a rating system.

Hi Alun,

I know it’s the number of posts which counts, I was just kidding! ;D  But why not, the problem is only: how is to decide what makes one post worth more than the next?

 

[ECET0purdue]

maybe you should rate them all?  ...    ;D

 

[ante1]

NO, too much work and responsibility!  ;D

Add a "rate member" next to each member's avatar, when another member clicks it they are prompted to rate their post, the number of votes a member gets deturmines their label.

The risk involved here is that it might eventually lead to the “kissing ass” mentality I have seen in other forums! Besides there are not that many “active” members here anyway. Of the 11.500 members only 25 has made 100 posts or more! But I could be wrong, it might work anyway!? It might complicate things with the forum software and there are other options that might be of better use to this community. :-\

Do you think we should change labels then?

"Electronics God" makes people assume the member has knowledge when that might not be the case, do you think "senior member" would be a more appropriate label?

Hi Alun,

I don’t know, but in a democracy like this maybe you should try a poll? Lay out the alternatives and let the people give their view!

On another forum we use "Ancient member".

I like the way it is.
  As far as the rattings work. I think it just mean that the more you respond the higher rattings you get.  I spend a lot of time reading on this form and have learned much. Never know Maybe someday I will move up from the newbie class. ha ha I still have a lot to learn.
