"What I hate about the current notable system"

Discussing the recent post by Tony:

[20:30:28] But what has AfroJoe done to not deserve notability?
[20:30:29] I mean, he's a good poster

Urgh! Least of all I expected that from Grix. OK he's drunk at the moment, but still.

The question we should be asking ourselves, is "What has AfroJoe done to deserve notability?"

The answer is, not much. OK, he may have been cream of the crop, but not notable. Like the 1995 (?) elections, people voted for the best candidate, not for anyone that actually deserved to be in Government. This isn't the time nor the place to discuss politics, but you know what I mean.

What I'm getting at. is people have lost sight of what Notable actually means. Yes I know you've heard all this before.

Anyway, I've done now.

I concur.

Its really just a coloured name on an internet site.

Yeah.

But I still want it!

:D

I for one.

I want to have a coloured name. Oh the joys that would come of it; newbies/regulars kissing my @ss and I'll receive so much more respect from everyone, and GADs will attract to me like magnet to metal.

My day will come.

Would be interesting to find out exactly what you all would define 'Notable' as.

In the words of Tony that is someone who contributes to making UKchatforums.com a very special place

Maybe afro does that for some, maybe he dosn't, same can be said for all the others.

But who really cares. Its just a coloured name.

Haha, yea I did, the sad thing is that I didn't even notice that mistake and I had read that post five times because it's been brought up so much.

It's all down to personal opinion, but I don't think being a good poster should be sufficient reason for someone to be a notable. These forums have dozens of very good posters, but only a few who really make a big difference to things around here. I think the question you should ask when deciding if someone should be a notable, is "Would there be a big change in the forums if this person left?"

If the answer is yes, then that person is a notable in your eyes.
