I remember on Philosophy forum there was a notice sent to our PM boxes asking members to make a single post, because some members were breaking their posts into 3 or 4 consecutive ones - just to gain a higher rank. Ranking probably does inspire more posts of lower quality - I've seen it happen.

I think the term "newbie" is kinda belittling too and 'newbies' might try to post alot of low quality posts. "New Member" is better I think - "wonderful new and treasured member".

Now listen you guys - Please address me as 'pro-fester Cheese Head' which is my correct title!

I think staff should be indicated for easy reference and two ranks like NEW and EXPERIENCED. The NEWs can ask the EXPERIENCED for forum advise and EXPERIENCED can be welcoming to the NEWs.

No status or power - just convenience.

The thing is, some might see status quo and be obsessed about it, but it is also obsessive to be strongly "Against".

Just be neutral and clear minded and think about what is practical. Certainly enforcing one's own 'anti rank' philosophy is a act of power in itself. (Not personal to you Shepherd - just a general statement)

funny way of thinking on a friendly forum, think the idea of a forum is for members to interact with each other , thats by posting, bet your next suggestion is a quality control moderator

Yeah HH I think I have got what forums members do on a forum, what I was pointing out was that people could be posting for the sake of it which would mean any old nonsense being posted just to feed the need to have a better status. I have seen plenty of threads in others forums where some people do that and it makes for dull reading and in the end the forum suffers as people switch off.  Blimey...I didnt realise that a simple suggestion would be such a hot topic!  alarm clock
