Is it possible to have a few more tiers Pete on post counts. Seeing as the ones up to the present run on almost double, could I suggest we have one at 1000 and 2500 or whatever?
Would it be that difficult to do? Roll Eyes

Generally, the yaBB script limits you to, I believe, 5 levels. I suppose you ca tinker with the overall script, etc., but in the grand scheme of things, post count on a forum isn't that significant...

If you don't believe that, simply look at Felix's post count and look at mine. He has less than 800 and I have almost 5000; yet he is much smarter about the FS world than I am and probably contributes more of substance by helping out new designers and new simmers.

Yupthere are about 5 tiers but like the guys have said post count means zit.

I don't really want a forum here where people rate post counts. In reality Felix has a lot more - played with it for a while & left it at its lowest mark (about 5k less than reality) ... but he knows this whole thing & the fact that post counts really do mean nothing other than you are posting messages (such as Shocked

) on Simviation.com (or whatever) forums.

I am sometimes tempted to make 'resident' at 5 posts ... or categorise them as 'dumbass' - 'retard' - learning difficulties' - 'dangerous' - 'bum' Cheesy

They really do mean zilch round here ... Wink

As always - Think quality - not quantity

Technically, I'm at 6000+the number shown ...

For another example, in the FFDS forum, I started all the FFDS associates with 500 posts.... just so in a quick "per posts" listing, one could see who we are.

Pete could easily grant the mods a "joining bonus" of 10,000 posts to each moderator. Again, it means not a whole lot.

No... one day I had 5400, I asked Pete to pop me up to 15,400 for a few days, and then, back down to 400... the admin can do that ...

Seriously, people such as Overclockers forums ( http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/ use the following to describe posters "rank" Quote:
