Actually, I think a better idea would be to simply shrug your shoulders and say "I don't know".

That won't really mean much, as some can amass 500 posts in less than a fortnight ;-)
And I like your way of thinking Loco :-)

I think senior rank and AD Addict should be up to a private voting commitee, which would be called the ADEBC - The AfterDawn Elitist Bastard Counsil- :D

I agree.
I was thinking that if the system could stay like it is now, but Senior and Addict titles would come like "stayed time in forum + posts". (ec. 500 posts + 1 year from joining or something like that)
So Senior Member would then be the "senior", not a newbie with 500 posts and week from joining the forum.
(and yes my english is quite bad so excuse me for that, don´t know why it is so damn hard to write in english...)

hi creaky, you might be right in that :)
I can read and speak quite well, but the writing is for some reason so damn hard.
Well, back to the topic... what do you all think about that? (time + posts system)

I agree with that one as looking back on some of my earlier posts I had trouble reading them myself. I think everyone that has reached certain levels here feel they deserve it (not withstanding the idiotic 'yea I agree' which pad post counts) yet there will always be grumbling how the ranking system would be setup. Might be something the mods and staff could get together and huddle up to discuss as too many threads have tossed ideas around but no solution. For a forum so informative and FREE to join the only titles really relevant should be moderators and staff in my opinion.
As I have always said not to slight the 'elder' addicts here but with so many making it a point to get there so quick it kind of loses the emphasis of what the dedicated ones have/ will do for afterdawn.

couldn't agree with you more on your point here, i also agree with pkaksp's point about duration of time here on AfterDawn plus the post count to attain the "higher rankings" of senior or addict~ :)
as there will ALWAYS be some debate on what the "ranking system" should be, there will be opinions from BOTH sides (those that post meaningless dribble to get to a higher status as quickly as possible vs. those who truly help out others here with no care for the title that is under(after) their names) :)
lastly, if "hand-picking" seniors/addicts is not an option at this point (which i know it isn't), my OPINION of it is that ddp has the right idea, rather than making the post counts LOWER to attain certain status, it would actually be pretty nice to DOUBLE what it currently is so that those who post here ONLY to reach a certain "status" will have to be even MORE dedicated to get to their own "goals" LOL
i just don't see why so many people are so obsessed with reaching a certain "status" on here, i've seen quite a few "senior members" here lately that in reality don't know much about anything (no offense to anyone that is a senior member), it makes me ponder sometimes when i see a newbie or a junior member that actually posts GOOD/ACCURATE information and he/she gets blown off because of their "status"...and in the same breath if a "senior member" says something that is TOTALLY FALSE/DISINFORMATION, he/she is trusted as being "knowledgeable" about the subject at hand...which lately, is often times NOT the case...
i rarely post in the safety valve or the all other topics forums, but once in awhile, i do like to voice my opinion too~ even with the posts in these 2 forums no longer "counting" towards one's total posts (which i find to be a good decision by dRD), if implementing ddp's idea or that of pkaksp or a combination of the two, it might do AfterDawn some good and a change for the better may begin...
that's just my 2 cents on it all

The RANK system has been discussed many times. Most of us OLD TIMERS look at Afterdawn as a part time job with no pay or benefits. The only pay we look forward to is a possible THANK YOU from someone we may have helped. The only BENEFIT we use to look forward to was if you worked hard and tried to help the best you could, you might be noticed by the mods and be hand picked as a SENIOR member some day. I made a statement in another thread that AD ADDICTS were like seeing UFO's. They were so few in number that if you saw one you had to look twice to make sure it was real. I use to go through the threads looking for posts by these few addicts knowing they were probably the best on here and wanted to learn from their knowledge. Now, as we all know those titles don't mean anything except that someone knows how to type fast.
All the new members can't understand why many on here want a better rank system. If they had been around here 2 or 3 years ago when the rank and titles did mean something , they would have a better understanding of what the fuss is all about.
