Hrmpf... I had olds alero, then changed it to a pontiac something. Must have somehow changed it back halfways. Well, I spent very little time with the names, but the spacing in between is what I was trying to get across.

it should go off "Date Joined" not actual posts

 

as the title may encourage many to become a post whore :lol:

I've tried my darndest to post as many question and/or answers on here so I don't post whore. The last car website I was one was all about post-whoring in the off-topic section!

I'm on a site for VW camper vans and we have a section just for controversial subjects. In there we still have a subject called "'people making posts just to bump their post count, pathetic or what?" which has a higher number of posts.than most of the more serious threads (added togther).

Curently the user titles are as follows:

 

Novice 0-9 posts

Junior Member 10-24 posts

Full Member 25-99 posts

Senior Member 100-499 posts

Super Member 500-1999 posts

Forum Deity 2000-4999 posts

Luminous Being 5000 and above

 

Any suggestions for changes to these or additional categories will be considered. Basically we can have as many as we like and decide how many posts are requited for each.

 

Let me know what you think.

well, following a little discussion on whether it's appropriate to allude to a status of a god, I've reopened this thread for a little more discussion

 

does anybody have any suggestions for alternative title ladder themes (keeping the old boundaries)?

 

maybe we could change them every six months? :D

*pretends not to have made suggestions to increase David's work on the site* o:)

We could use karate belt colors and rankings. In keeping with CADTutor's kickasp reputation.

We could break it down by the various dimensions of involvement.

 

1. Point

2. Line

3. Region

4. Solid

5. Animation

6. SuperString theory

 

That last one hasn't been fully implemented into AutoCAD yet. :wink:

 

(This post was made mostly in jest) :)

Posted

Number 6 should be renamed SillyString Theroy. LOL

I imagine a road atlas will be more complicated when including all 10 dimensions.:)

(wonders if a recent PM brought this up....)

 

I take little notice of what is written there and base opinions on what I have read by the posters.

 

And even if I do start reading the status I am more likely to be distracted by the little white (or I just notice gold) blobs under it. Anybody care to remind me what they are for?

Posted

So I've made it back to E-4? I knew I should have went for my comission...

 

In all seriousness, I tend to ignore the names for more than just amusement, probably because I don't put much stock in my own post count as a measure of aptitude, it just means I post a lot. You can usually tell after reading the first paragraph how much understanding someone has of AutoCAD, and even then I tend to go through the "tech support" structure of simplest "human error" causes first.

 

I always try to avoid "talking down" to those asking questions as that would presume superiority over them. Although there are some people who wear on you when it seems they can't handle a simple concept, their understanding in no way relies on their post count, nor do the validity of my answers rely upon mine.

 

So basically Post Count titles for me are just for fun. Call me a peanut butter sandwich, I'll still ask if you've purged and audited your drawing.

Posted

Peanutbutter sandwich? Nah, how about a fluffernutter? LOL

 

Call me anything you like...just don't call me late for dinner.
