What is the point in electing members to become 'Notables'

I used to say how it was and is a stupid idea of making some of the more longer running members more respect than other members (which quite frakly I don't think anyone deserves) however I now have another more relevant reason.

Does anyone really care whether they have regular or notable under their name? If so they must be very very sad people! When I read messages, although I take a look at who they are from, I don't look at their status and see if they're a notable or not. I don't care at all if they're notables or not.

No one here deserves any more respect than anyone else. Everyone should be treated the same, fairly and as equals, instead of being thought of as 'better'.

No member on this board is better than me. And I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else! Every member on this board has, or should have the same rights on this board (other than staff members who run the board).

If people want to sink so low as to vote for others in a 'notable' election, then that's fine by me. However why waste your time. People like me wont even notice if anyone else has 'notable' under their username.

Once again you have proved my point Sniper!

You think you are better than the rest of us! Well think again!

You are just one! A minority! There are more Regulars and Newbie's (A.k.A. Normal members) on here. You are small, just one member who has no more power over me than any other member (except for of course the staff members).

You don't deserve to have that poncy title under your name! You might as well replace "notable" with "Likes to be noticed" or "poser"

You are an attention seeker who likes to be admired for being a pompous lil (can't say it cos I don't want to get into any trouble on here)

So why don't you zippit!

I'm jsut sick of this 'notable' thing taking up what are supposed to be "prime Topics" on FOG. They have nothing to do with the future of gaming and I know this has nothing to do with it either.

It's also when members on here talk about notables as if they worship them! It just makes me wonder about the sanity of some people on here....
