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!

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 Wink We realise that things like that don't matter...
Of course being a high-posting old windbag I would say things like that Grin Grin Grin

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.

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

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

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?
 
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

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.  Wink
