Forum ranking

[thcc2]

Now, this forum got no user ranking ?
all the users is under the group of "Senior Member"

There is also "Junior member" rank, though I think you need only ~20 posts to pass that, I hope Core will implement saner rankings.

I'll second that! Something more along the lines of what we had before

What does it really matter what your post count or your member group are? On this one forum I visit, as well as on mine, there are only 1 or 2 member groups (not including mod groups). Things seem to work out better that way because then no one is like "wtf I have like 10000 posts and I'm an 'uber user' and I totally own you!".

Easy for the guy with ~130 posts to say.

Seriously, though, I mostly agree. And the rankings don't speak to skill level obviously.

On the other hand, the rankings are pretty fun in that you always have a new badge waiting for you (until you hit the ceiling that is).

I definitely thought the previous ranking system sucked bigtime.

There were quite a few so-called "Linux Gurus" here that never helped anyone with anything, but instead they became that purely from asking like more than 1500 "help me" questions. Some of them would ask a question, and when it was answered, they'd automatically respond with yet another question. Their threads that should have been just a few posts long routinely turned into 100 or more posts.

That behavior doesn't really represent much of a guru, at least in my opinion, so perhaps anyone planning a new ranking system could take that into consideration.
