"some other sort of rating system"

Anyone else think there should be more ratings than newbie, regular and notable.(and i know there are Staff and JATs too.) Once stupid newbies reach a certain level they just kind of blend into everyone else. There should be more diferentiation between regulars.

who agrees?

Well, SR need to implement a character limit, 10000 or something.
And also, they could have it so that it tallies what you''ve written overall, rather than what's been edited.

So what happens to people like Wakka?

That is why mine was based on the average words per post (although there was a minimum, maybe 5000 is a bit high), it would basically weed out who the spammers were.
And it depends where you look, I'm sure you'll agree that often I make plain stupid backwards old fasioned posts, but other times I can make good contributions, it depends where you look.
I'm not all that bothered, but if we could be navy blue rather than Purple, I'd be happy.

Can we laugh at you again? I missed out the first time..

I suggested this a while back.

AND YOU ALL LAUGHED AT ME.


LAUGHED.

Being back Monkeys!

Actually I don't care.

I don't care what happens, as long as you can have your username in orange.

I'd say the current state of things is fine. It would be far too difficult to implement any changes to it, and knowing SR, they'd shut down the site in order to do so for a couple of weeks.

I don't post 5 word answers. Some idiot spaks just have to be dealt with when they post annoying and pointless stuff.

I'd go in the rubbish SR LUE equivalent, but seems as I usually go on here whilst doing school work, I won't get much across if I spend half an hour on each post.

Here's how to do it:

Since the system's already setup to show which forum people post in the most assign a colour/status based on which forum the user posts in the most.

Easy to do, right?
