What do we think about maybe even reserving the Wizard category as an elected category.
Say by a majority of the Gurus at first and then by a majority of the Wizards once the category is large enough.
That way it could be a position of honor based on a person being a true computer wizard and not just a prolific poster.
Just a thought.

Thats a good idea Greg, we dont need junk posts for the reason of getting status.
Still have to check to see if UBB is capable of changing the status of given members.

how about if after 500 posts or so, we can change to whatever status we want to be called, like going from jr member(1) to member(30) to a choice of either senior member(500 default) or whatever else we want - old dog, guru, funkmaster, whatever. after 500 posts, i believe members will be responsible enough to choose their title within reason.

ASCII stupid question,
get a stupid ANSII
Once someone reaches a thousand post call him MiniToolbox, then 2000 posts MidiToolbox, 3000 posts FullToolbox and don't worry... no one will ever reach 4000 posts except me Toolbox.
Have a nice day Jeff.
how about some sort of rating sceme?
like
How long the member has been here.
# of posts.
how many of the posts actually deserved to be posted.. (no offense to anyone with a high # of posts)

So, what's it fianlly going to be?
I like the idea of having a class of memebers that is voted to be "experts" or "gurus" or something like that, something that is decided not on the # of posts alone.
jr tech
tech
sr tech
guru
?

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
Fords idea is a cool one with me......something related to tech http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif
if you're a "guru" and you answer
the wrong thing, you will be stripped
of your status one rank below. http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif
Ok what about :
30 - Byte
100 - Kilo Byte
500 - Mega Byte
1000 - Giga Byte
2000 - Terra Byte
4000 - You choose your own title for reaching this amount. I mean it is something not any one will reach and there for he must be awarded his own title he/she chooses.
Then there can allso be diff. stuff diff. ranks can do. Like 30 posts can only acces some of the smiling faces where as 500 can access all. 1000 and up should be able to have some other feature.
The mod's could be called a "Big Corn Byte"

A other thought might be :
0 - Abacus
30 - Calculator
50 - ZX Spectrum
100 - XT
200 - 286
500 - 386
100 - 486
2000 - 586
3000 - 233-1GHZ CPU - (can't mention Intel or AMD here)
5000 - Cray Super Computer
Or if you really want something more human then try :
0 - embrio
30 - kindergarden
50 - primary school
100 - junior internet surfer
150 - secondary school
300 - student
500 - initiate
800 - assistant (spelling is wrong)
1000 - doctor
1500 - professor
2000 - guru
4000 - genius
10000 - www (this guys knows all the info on the net)
We've already got a member called WWW, that could get confusing.Quote:
