Need more membership ranking levels
« on: August 29, 2011, 05:20:21 PM »

  Okay, in about two months I have gone from beginner to curator.  This means that I have achieved the same ranking as Bruce and many others.  That is like going from pfc to 5 star general.

  There should be like a half dozen levels in order to achieve the lofty status of "curator."  Maybe something like Beginner, Hobbyist, Collector, Curator, Grizzled Old Timer.


  Your mileage may vary,

Brian, there was a lengthy discussion about this right after the Forum's inception:

  My bad. Chris,  I really liked your idea:
 
I was going to suggest something like: 1) Lobby Card, 2) Insert, 3) Half-Sheet, 4) One Sheet, 5) 3 Sheet etc etc etc (to the TOP level being DAYBILL of course  )...

 That is a riot!!!!  I love that idea.  I would loved to have been a newbie level "Mexican lobby card."

  Can this idea come back up for a vote or a poll?  It seems like a fair amount of the earlier posts were made by people no longing posting.

Brian, you'd have to create a whole new account to ever *revert* to the amoeba-like qualities of a Mexican Lobby card ;)

The only problem with the Spanish heralds is that they are so tiny.  Otherwise, the art is usually very nice...

I don't remember that earlier discussion, but it surprised me. I don't get what is wrong with "levels".

To me, it is a fun addition to those who notice such stuff, and those who don't care can just ignore them.

A lot like avatars to me.

But since they have been vetoed, that is that.

Some people think the global recession would be cured if Thierry and Holiday added more levels!

We wanted to avoid classism so the levels were put at the most minimal level.  I don't care about changing it if that's the consensus.

I don't think levels mean anything.  Those who are on here know who is knowledgeable etc.  And if you don't, you either haven't sustained interaction or your not paying attention.  What I would dig is if folks would put their name somewhere.  As a new guy I haven't learned all the first names.  Feel bad calling folks by there ID...

Given the recent battles, I propose three levels:

1. Newbie: Please be gantle
2. Phasers on stun
3. Shoot to kill
