    Your right I'm sure, and the Mods, Seniors Citizens oops I mean Members and a couple of the members, made it pretty clear to this person. I just don't like the titles stuff I've been on a few other formus before and some people take these titles very seriously. I like the people who give quality information (ScubaPete, Veblim, Dela, etc.) to be recognized and the old system did that in a good way, by the other quality people deciding. I hope that this works out, I know that it's though to try to do the "right" thing and i appreciate it.

    I was raised to Senior level about 2 days before the new system was activated. For 2 days I felt like someone had noticed I have been trying to help others as best as I possibly could. Now with all the other Seniors that made the post count the title means nothing at all. I know there were complaints about the other system and I followed the threads relating to it. After it was all over it seemed things had settled back to normal. Then the new system is added. Yes it may be easier for the Mods and Administration but leaves little for everyone else to look forward to. If the post count is all that matters, I would rather stay a member forever. I agree with ScubaPete 100%.

    Jerry746,

    I noticed ... I'm glad you were made Senior 2 days before.


    Also I liked the older system better, and I think as time passed everything was getting back to normal.

    Yes Jerry, we did notice. I had spoken to Dela some time before you were raised and no matter who did what, you were long overdue.



    We'll always remember you did it the hard way.

    Your friend,

    Pete

    Congrats Pete,
    I bet you have the record for fastest jump from Senior to Addict.

    okay, I'm a newbie and even I agree with Pete. I actually just as of now found out about the new system, so I looked at my account and saw that after this post, I only need one more post to make junior member. For what? Yes I do try to help people with what I know about the whopping 3 programs that I use, but in my eyes I've done nothing to advance a step. I would much rather feel that I [bold]earned [/bold] a position. In my eyes, if people can't be recognized for their real contributions and selected based on recomendations, then we should all be "users" other than admins, mods, and da boss. I know what's done is done, but that doesn't always make it right.

    (sick of all the crap that people are going on about.If you guys thought cozza should of gone up the ranks thats your call and no ones elses.wish this site was like it was 18 months ago less politics)

    This is pointless debate -- whichever way the system is changed, half the people are unhappy. Will close this thread now and I will personally ban the next one who complains about the ranks either via PM or via public forums.
