This site currently assigns one of several status labels to each member based on the number of posts they've made. The current ranking is as follows:

0 to 49	Newbie
50 to 99	Jr. Member
100 to 249	Full Member
250 to 499	Sr. Member
500 and up	Hero Member

I'd like to ask for suggestions here to expand and improve this list. Obviously, we need some good labels for significant milestones like 1000, 2000, and 5000 posts, etc. But I think we should also have some special designations for members who seldom, if ever, post and these should be mildly embarassing to encourage them to participate. I was browsing through the member list just now with the data sorted by number of posts. Out of 63 pages at 30 members per page, I was shocked to find that there are currently 41 pages of members who haven't posted a single message! I think these members should be labeled "Virgin". Hopefully, they'll be anxious to lose their virginity and post something. And maybe we should have another mildly embarassing label for members with 1 to 4 posts, just to encourage them to be more active.

Anyway, let's hear your suggestions so Pedro can expand the list.

I like the virgin member category - or at least "gleaner", or "taker".

Also, in my opinion, the labels should be "BR" or "Boss" related somehow. Maybe somebody who has a couple hundred posts or so should be a "Bossman"!

Possibly is a copyright issue, but I have already influenced 3 purchases for a micro due to this site - don't see how it could hurt them.

Anyway, my two Abraham's.

Well, the ones who don't post but only read are not going to be posting just to disagree.  I think it's a bad idea.  If someone wants to join the forum and read but doesn't have anything to say, who is that harming?  Leave them be.  Everyone else seems to have plenty to say without talking about them.

As many people seem to be against segregation of post with respect to what recorder used, I think it would be in this sites spirit to just have one (or maybe 2) categories :

  Happy Member  !!

if 2 :
  "Virgin" (until posting in introduce yourself .. then happy     ...)


cheers

I think 5,000 is the ultimate one. What about 'Legend' as a title for that? And special coloured stars?

Hm... 1,000. What about 'Super-Hero' as a logical next step?

As for 2,000, I don't think it's right for me to make a suggestion! I'll have to leave it to you guys to come up with something... lol

How about "Green Member"

Green stars would be nice!

 i think for 2000 + it's should be "buy this man/woman a beer" the fact i am approaching my 2000 has no bearing on this suggestion.

I agree, Tony - I wouldn't want to bother or upset anyone - Lord knows it's a really heavy feeling starting off here. This is the first forum I've actually joined personally. But to be fair, I've visited sites (Mostly for business) where there is definitely a wink-wink to get involved. Maybe just do something like that...

Greeny, maybe it is better to just "Extend" what we have already...

Geir, I am so freakin' happy... All the time!!!

ORH, I would BREW you some beer if I could find a cheap way to get it over there!!
