New Forum Ranks

Post by FONGO_kris »

To encourage a little more activity on the boards, I have added a sort of ranking system. I've seen a lot of users register and post one question, then never return; This is for nothing more than motivation for users to stay as active members of our community forum and continue contributing to the forums. A second look never does anything but good, so a few thousand 'second looks' will be a good start.

Let us hope these don't go to anyones head... Especially that last one.

Oh, and no prizes, floral arrangements or gift baskets for ranks, sorry!

Might even want to dedicate two even lower ranks ....

1 post - One Hit Wonder
2-5 - Just Passing Thru
5+ - Quiet One ...

Just a thought...

Then again, I am heavy on the seasoning, just not THIS time of year ... ;-)

I like the way you think, TheHardy. Even noobs need to feel special, regardless of how xda-developers [See n00b video on registration] think ;)

Always up for community input, thanks!

I fully agree about your OP to encourage posting ... and there are so many 1 post "hit and run artists" (can't openly suggest that rank title tho, as it is NOT P.C.), you almost have to wonder if they even log back on to check for an answer or any kind of followup to whatever their main gripe is.

In the spirit of OVERLY P.C.-edness, try this one on for size ....

Festive Non-Denominational Statutory Government Holiday Season.

I don't think that can offend anyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, creed, ethnicity, socio-political background etc etc etc.

Sanitized to the point of being bland -- perfect! :shock:
