spammers trying to become the next greatest title
no one gives a **** about how many posts you have
other then danny of course.
who with me?
scratch post counts forever!!

I can tell you're really pushing for this and I agree with you. Even though I'm not a senior member, I still feel that I can contribute and I would NEVER resort to saying things that weren't meaningful simply to boost my "status". So what if I'm only a member? Can't I still contribute? I think post counts should be insignificant and done away with altogether. It opens the doors to spammers and people who have power binges.

I also think devs should have a developer title so that if they start a thread or post, everybody will recognize the dev as a credible source of information.

Ah, the days of hate mail when I was a Moderator! I wish I could say I missed that...

THIS, I like... a lot. I understand having a Mod tag, and I think having a Dev tag would also be good, but other than that I don't really see the need to label members solely based on their post count (or seniority, or whatever.) However, allowing "senior" members to make up their own label would be entertaining.
