"Is SR splitting Members into groups?"

Originally I thought that the member status, ie Newbie, regular, etc was a pretty good thing, however now I am not too sure.

Will members conform to their own groups, regulars sticking with regulars and to heck with the newbies (and vice versa)?

It is like a lesson I learned at school when I was younger. My class were told that people with brown eyes were smarter than people with any other colour of eyes. The class then split themselves into 2 categories the "smart" kids (brown eyes) and the "stupid" kids. This lesson was only in force for 2 weeks and the impact the lesson had was great. There was much hostility between the 2 groups until the truth was learned and everyone felt so stupid but it shows how much of an impact a small bit of information can make to people.

I used this analogy because I feel the same thing is happening here with the member status being viewed. Is it right that someone should be categorized because of the number of messages they make?

I am not trying to say that being a regular is any better than being a newbie (or vice versa)I am merely trying to find out what other member's opinions are. To be blunt some of the opinions I have read concerning the matter are quite disturbing.

[I suppose the member status thing is the best solution for now]

Regulars - I know how annoying it is to see some "fool" write tons and tone of utter rubbish just to try and get "regular" status and/or to win a prize

Newbies - I know how frustrating it can be when your opinion, even if unoriginal, is not given as much attention as you gave when writing your post

Cheers YH.....damn I better start posting good stuff from now on....how can I live up to the pressure of it all....*falls and ends up landing in the "He held aloft the mighty sword..." thread, falling through a mysterious trap-door and hitting the bottom of some dark room (however my fall was cushioned by some insect, hehe)*

They still post regularly, even if they post rubbish.
