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.
Currently that is exactly what I have been doing. Reading old threads from years back reminds me that no matter how much you think you know there are always alternative methods. With the vast amount of folks visiting/ joining AD daily setting the example should be for those with senior, member and junior status as their current titles to represent what AD has the potential to be (to include some of you nilly-fingered addicts who know who they are).

You guys bring up some good points in here.. especially regarding some senior members who make their "status" in weeks and subsequently post misleading info to newbies all over the forums.

I would just like to make the point that this thread was started mainly out of curiosity, not whiniess (is that how you spell it?) and i guess now that i read all these statments I do back in the ranking system thanx for the input.

remember too that some people with knowledge can post quickly & gain status quickly. me, i was a senior in a month from starting on this site & an addict in 4 months less 1 week.

it should be rated on quality of the posts, time shouldn't be a factor (& maybe even amount of posts shouldn't).
if good people post good reliable info then they shouldn't be stuck at newbie for XX months.
it's quality that counts!
i think whatever method AD use some one will ALWAYS disagree & have their opinion of how it "should" be done.
from what i have seen all the senior/addicts have the knowledge to help & do help out in the forums & should be entitled to that status.
even some of the members that are on here regular, should be senior judging by the knowledge they have, yet they have to wait until 500 posts. (there are no unknowledgeable seniors/addicts in my experience so why change the system?)
we all get to see who is posting good reliable info & who isn't. the mods, should have power to put someone at the status they deserve
my 2cents worth :-)

@ddp,
A few hours a I read one of your earliest posts "R.T.F.M." and still laughing. I want to learn how you say so much in one line and get your point across.

I'd say that upping the number of posts for statussed would be a good thing *the numbers Ireland came up with looked most appealing to me, minus the @ss kissing of course*, because then the people that really make a difference are awarded appropriate titles *unless you're like ddp, the you'll just race you way up ;) *
I personally don't care about what it says under my name, as long as i have the option to report an offensive post and don't have to wait 3 minutes between posts, i'll get along nicely, in my own way.

I agree with the Fiend. If I don't have to wait 3 minutes to reply to a post, and have the ability to report an offensive post, then that is all the status I ever need. I don't think I will ever have the knowledge to deserve a rank higher than junior member. I try to point people in the right direction if they are searching for answers, but I don't have any original solutions to their problems. I have been here for about 15 months and have learned so much from so many people. I would hate to some day achieve Senior status, just by providing links to the answers provided by true Senior Members or Addicts. Just my 2 cents.
If I can learn here so can you.
Search first, then ask. Words to live by.

i vote that everyone who asks about rank after tonight be banned immediately for a minimum of 25 years :-)
fusion: the answer is "no." if you want an explanation, you will have to search for it. that's what the function is there for.

fusion, ill help you out this time...the ranks are updated every few weeks so everyone who should be updated will get updated. also it depends if you have posted in the safety valve or not cause those posts dont count.

yep u got it, its automatic updates, but more importantly is to remember that safety valve posts dont count towards your total.
either way, glad you got the answer you were looking for ;)
