Heavy Bomber Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 The ranking would be ok as long as the quality of posts does not fall off.

Berlichtingen Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Been thinking about this, and given the result of the "which side do you like to play survey," I feel the ranking should go more like this: Mann Schütz Rottenführer Unterscharführer Scharführer Oberscharführer Untersturmführer Sturmführer Obersturmführer Hauptsturmführer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Ahh, so it's about the number of postings. I thought members were preorderers, and wondered why I'm still junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R Cunningham Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Hold on folks. There has to be some measure of quality to these ranking systems. We don't want to reward raw quantity. Without that we would have to promote Manieri "below the zone" because he has demonstrated truly outstanding potential in posting with quantity, vigor and sheer speed. Representatives of the old school, ala Feldmarschall Fionn might quickly find themselves displaced. So I propose the establishment of the CM Board Merit Badge Committee to meet and award the coveted titles above. But first we'd have to establish a commission to appoint memebers of the committee so that titles can be conferred before the start of the fourth Quarter. We don't want to postpone this into next fiscal year! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>It can go.. Fionn, God, Manieri<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well THAT certainly explains some things!

Jarmo Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Nah, Manieri would have to be around a LONG time more to beat my total --- Uhhh, I just figured out how to check the amount messages sent, and wow.

Guest R Cunningham Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 The Club SSI forum for CC4 has implemented somehting like this already. I just noticed earlier. The administrator is a General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Pattison Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 This "Member/Junior Member" stuff is just like ranks in the SAS. Meaningless. In posts, quality is much better than quanity. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOBRUK Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 Meaningless ?? Oh, no. I've been working all this time to get this recognition, and now it's MEANINGLESS. ?? !! Ok, I'm calming down. I was waiting for an appropriate thread for making my passage into manhood. This looks like it. So, come: celebrate with me. I am no longer a "Junior Member," but a real, honest-to-god, meaningless "Member."
