Just get rid of the names. It's a meaningless thing. Same as the postcounts. And if you really want to keep the names why not make it an aviation theme kind of thing? Something like this:

Senior Captain - 5000
Captain - 2500
First Officer - 1250
Purser - 500
Luggage Handler - 0

It's just an idea.

I second that. maybe the counts are a bit too high? for some guys (like me) it will take years to reach any status. not that status matter really, but I can honestley say I take up any comments from senior members more seriously than a newbie.

I love this forum anyway, and want to thank all the guys making this forum possible! amazing work!!!

Not always the best tactic.

Some of the smartest, most knowledgeable contributors here, only have a handful of posts, while someone who may know nothing of MSFS, could have thousands of posts.

I support high count levels if the feature is kept. If you want those status levels, you'll stick around awhile. Wink

I think the default ones were alright as they were. Though, it was easy enough for most people to reach the highest level without much effort. Some people have many thousands of posts and the maximum level is currently only a few hundred posts.

As Shane started going on about, some of the best advice comes from people with few but great posts rather than those with many posts and not so great a contribution... Which doesn't seem to be an issue on SimV so much.

But I don't think that posting should mean that you come up as a better looking person. It's not really about class. It shouldn't turn into a battle of the highest ranking poster. I like that being a regular just means that you are someone who posts often.

Of course, keep the God rank for Paul and some others Wink

My two cents worth -

0- 499 - Newbie

500- 999 - Senior Newbie

1000- 1999 - Member

2000 - 2999 - Junior Member

3000 - 3999 - Senior Member

4000 - 4999 - Executive Member

5000 - 9999 - Legacy Member

10000 - + - Legend Member

Might as well make sure their going to stick around before giving them all the fanciful titles. Undecided

This one isnt that bad but how many have 15k+? Not that many people on the forums and I think they're can only be 5 because of the stars.

Im all for Crash's Idea but for the newbies who think they will never get past 500 posts it can go by faster than you think. I remember once I passed 100 I was like woah and now almost a year and a half and pretty much 3000 posts.

Its not like we are going to be making fun of you or treating you any different because of your stars or status.
