    so i have an idea...

    it's really hard to call a senior member someone who wrote only 50 posts (this is the number when you become a SM, yep?).
    maybe we will change it a bit? i don't know how... maybe 200 posts gives a SM title? or 500?

    cause how can you call us, posters with over 1000 posts? GURU member? ;)

    any ideas how can we solve this situation?

    0 - Junior.
    30 - Member.
    100 - Senior.

    I'm pretty sure.

    no.
    there is only junior member and senior member.
    and moderator and administrator of course... :)

    EDIT: but 30 is probably the border.

    50 = Senior?

    I would say 100 = Senior

    Yeah we should have additional titles for 500 posts 1,000 posts, etc. or make the requirements to become a senior member higher

    but first we have to think about a certain ideas.
    will wait to see some +500 posters sharing their opinions.

    Well, maybe set it up differently. By going with the vBulletin defaults, it limits to 3. He can change how it is set up, and make it say iPhone amatuer, iPhone trainee, iPhone fan, iPhone master, etc. Just an example.

    Karma, maybe? Have a karma of 20 and 250 posts, voila, you're a senior member!!! The system might get a little complex, though...

    Why go on the premise of how many posts you have? This actually means nothing within this forum. *Omg....downloading now* is not really a show of anything other than some interaction. I've seen newbies post over 1000 in a few days. So why have your post number reflect titles?

    There can be more inventive ways to show member status:
    Why not give out classifications to who's got the most of certain type of games? (Can show proof by posting their purchase history). Or who plays the most w/ high scores? Or how many games a person has total?...... Theres a lot of other different ways of getting a title than merely using ones number of posts........we can think BIGGER! (Of course this might be all too much for arn to deal with)

    oh yea.....I'm not saying this cuz of my 100 or 200? something post. I don't look at it posts count much just the value of the post content.

    What an enlightening take on things.

    Am I missing something? These titles only seem to massage the egos of a few around here. I mean, who f#?&@n cares. Let's try to lose the constraints of a class system and just talk about games or whatever.

    Well I haven't had a problem as it has been, but I would be interested if arn was planning on changing it. What would you want like a ratings system? Or just some different member titles...?

    Yea.......your missing the point of anyone can post their thought or ideas even if its not to your satisfaction. And you seemed to care enough to post something here. Of course with just 52 post maybe your trying to bloat it up with your unwanted rants. If you would have READ MY POST you have found I'm inclined to be impartial to post counts and simply suggesting other alternatives to a suggestion someone brought to the table.

    While reading through the first page of this I was thinking the exact same thing as you coldar. Post count is in no way an indicator of post quality...in fact, if anything a high post count would suggest that that person did a lot of spamming - not exactly a mark of prestige

    Hmmm.... I'm not sure what your driving at. I was agreeing with you (which is why I used the word enlightening).
    The point I was trying to make was, I ALSO agree that counts don't show if you actually contribute quality rather than quantity.
    Wasn't trying to boost my count, seeing as I don't really care about numbers or titles:) sorry though that I tried to contribute to this discussion, seeing as you deemed my response "unwanted".
