The p2p "invites" saga is a complete mess. The mods & ketola are obviously doing their best to keep things tidy, but yet they still have to edit every other post because none of them can be bothered to read the thread titles.

- Don't really see why a tech discussion forum should have to police these idiots..

Also, these threads defeat the whole object of "private" torrenting - too much info is shared in there, and invites are tossed around like confetti..

Another bitch.. Getting cold sweats, sore throat, runny nose etc. Time for my seasonly bout of common cold/flu, methinks :-(

I'll have to agree with Ireland, too many nonsense posts and members gaining senior status without ever helping anyone or knowing what they're talking about. Much of AD has become little chat sections without thought to the forum topics. I know things can't be easily changed back to the way they were, but there should be an attempt to correct the situation.

drd does not want to add a new title so here is a way to bring respect back to AfterDawn Addicts..

there is a easy way in which this can be done.....
all AfterDawn Addicts can be set back by drd to Senior members..
then drd and the mods can then pick those Senior members that
are doing a greatjob..and advance them to AfterDawn Addict.

if this does not sound right,i can not keep me eyes open...
i hope ye get the idea..

As I mentioned before, with the current state of affairs, they can move my rank back to newbie. With titles being meaningless, one is as good as another. Your suggestion of having all Addicts moved back to Senior and having the Addict category reserved for members showing meritorious service is the best idea I've heard since the post count deal came about.

No they haven't. There's a number who have progressed up through the ranks with nothing more than an empty post count. As I said before, there are newbies making more sense than some of the Addicts we now have.

Guess not, I've had some disagreements over some petty things. But over all, I've noted a number of occasions where Addicts and Seniors were the source of some serious disinformation.

I don't care what your rating is not everyone is going to always be 100% correct in the info they give.. it all depends on the factors of the situation and the solution could be a # of things.. So if someone gives info and it's wrong doesn't make it really bad info when there is a chance it could've been the right answer...

ex. if someone is having problem burning dvd and they are using Memorex Dvds and someone says well Memorex sucks don't use them and then someone else says well is your firmware up to date? who is right?

Both Technically but some will jump back and say well Memorex don't give me a problem so it can't be that..

No advice is bad advice unless you're being really stupid with it....

Then maybe they should make it so you need a certain amount of posts before you can post in the Safety Valve...

here is an idea..

rank posters like ebay does with it's sellers.

Let us (the posters with questions) rank the help that we get from the ones that answer, and the rankings show up by our name. Maybe in % form of positive feedback.

Why do people have to whinge all the time about members being promoted. We all know that it's bound to happen eventually, just because someone devotes a lot of their time answering threads and helping where possible and makes it to Addict in a short time, who gives a toss.

I say let's make brobear a mod and then he can have the power he obviously seeks and then he can run things as he wishes, ban members, demote Addicts, wouldnt be too long before he was the only one left.

I dont post much but I log on daily and observe what's going on...some people really confuse the newbies with their waffling, others take time to explain things a little more simpler. I am sure the newbs just want an answer that will assist them with their problem and not listen (or read) someone's waffling.

Like it or not, thats my 50cents worth.

I have to disagree...That is just an opinion that your are stating..And Brobear never stated he wanted power or to be a mod.........So i don't know what you are talking about
And he helps out alot in the PC hardware forums......And these are suggestions it is not happening right now......Why do you think he would ban members anyway and demote addicts..Mods can't even demote.......
That is my 50 cents
