I'm just curious on the criteria for the new rank structure post rankings. Would you be able to provide a guide to the numbers of posts required, and how the responsibilities vary depending on your rank?

I presume Colonel is the new general moderator rank, and this is by admin election still. But could you let me know about the general post rank structure.

I had a peek in the recent threads but I couldn't see anything about it.


Cheers!

Taken from USAF rankings .....  :)

Ahh, thank you for that. So does one immediately gain moderator abilities after a certain post count, or is it purely a change in the colour scheme?

Mods and Admins are appointed by Pete, they are not given out willy-nilly.
Post count doesn't affect Mods or Admins ;) We realise that things like that don't matter...
Of course being a high-posting old windbag I would say things like that ;D ;D ;D

Had to switch to the old forum style, where it simply lists the number of posts.

14 years as a Non-Commissioned Officer... being called a captain curdles the blood.

ahahahah

i doubt 'groundhog is taken from USAF...

It makes me think of less superior stuff.
Aye Aye Captain. (Saying that to myself :(.
But a few days ago Ozzy's Rank kept changing and I didn't notice Anyone else. :-/

It was probably part of the upgrade to the newest version of Yabb ;)

Seeing as its taken me nearly 10 years to reach my current post count, not very likely I'll ever get promoted higher than Major.

It should be a different rank type like by register date and not by posting counts ,i've seen many around that in a couple month reach like 1k in posting Bs

Probably! :D
And I think it stands for posting Boards.

I think that makes pb.

Never paid much attention to the Rank Structure and I will be darned if I can remember how it was when it changed... ;D

What I do see and wonder about is some of the Posts.

Many will have very high Views recorded and absolutely no Replies.

That seems odd to me. 

If a person takes the time to read a Post then why would they not take the time to leave a polite Reply?

maybe because the reply may not be nice. So they opt not to comment. There are sensitive people out there. lol

Doug, Ive always known that I am slow in the reply and don't always comment but during the week some of us only have a 3 or 4 hour window per day. If I were to post a topic, I can't get back to it for 24 hours. I always look forward to unscrewing a few beer caps in the evening and reading the posts on Simv! Yours being among some of the most entertaining reading. I'm glad you hang your hat at Simv.  ;) 

Good point Scalper... :)

Thanks Steve...much appreciated... ;)

...also...

Lots of replies, with very little comment, can appear as ..."Spamming".... :o...!

I am grateful if I get one (or more) reply of appreciation or interest!... ;D...!

Paul.

Hi Paul... :)

You get lots of replies Paul because you offer up a full dinner but all I can offer is an old cheese and sweet spanish onion well salted on white.... ;D
