User Titles- yes or no?

[Leon]

So here is the question. Should we have user titles that are based on your # of posts on the board, which would change as you post more?

Leon,
I say no. Junior memember,senior member,dead memember,foolish member.
To me its just another way to start a new problem. Its fine the way it is. Dont you just love these things!!!

[Leon]

and you get your vote!!! I love doing polls...

[Ladder7]

Nah, meaningless feature.

[Leon]

We will let the poll go a few days. As I said before if there was a large percentage that didn't want to do it then we won't. It wasn't even going to have to be 50% in order to not do it.....SO it looks like the board is speaking.....I thought it would be fun but I have been wrong before....No big deal....after the poll I will go look at the options and, if it continues the way it is, will just do away with that feature. I am sure the other moderators (and I) will still have a title because we need one but that's about it..Thanks to all who have voted so far.

I voted "no" because when you think about it, what difference does it make how often you post? And I see the "nos" are leading roughly 2:1.

[deadballera]

I also voted "NO".

Net54 should not have any type of seniority system that rewards members for posting. I think everyone should be viewed as an equal participant without being labeled regardless of post activity.

The one beifit would be that if someone was a senior member and you were doing a deal with them you would have a point of reference, ie it becomes a reference.

I am not sure it is needed but that would be one benifit.

Good point but the post count by each members name will also aid in knowing if someone is a regular. At any rate I thought it would be fun but I guess I am in the minority....and I stayed true to my statement before and didn't, and won't, vote...

[slidekellyslide]

Well, I voted yes and really am surprised that it's almost 2-1 in favor of no titles. Either way is fine, but lots of boards that I participate have them and it's never been a problem.

[V117collector]

55 members have voted now, so it shows the majority of members are lurkers and not posters. Having the “user titles system” is a poor representation to knowing whose regular or not.

[Chris D.]

I think post count is irrelevant.

[Doug]

I voted no too. I don't really think the number of posts is as relevant as their content. Quality over quantity.

[BoSox1908]

No vote here, I see a problem with it somewhere down the road. Would be best with none.

"Nah, meaningless feature".

Perfectly stated from another member.

If it's fun, it should not be done.

[Koufax]

I think it could be fun. If it gets abused, it could always be done away with. Never know if you don't try ... only live once.

We are 2 peas in a pod.....that's not saying much for you.....
