Can our stars come with us???

Most of the Flounders had in the thousands also on TOB.  Granted, we have had more time on the DMF to type than everyone else, but we are only in the hundreds now. You can catch us if you really want.  We all started over at 0.

But like Scott said, please try quality over quantity

maybe do away with stars/ whatever......and post counts.

give members some other form of recognition when they contribute in some way (TBD) to the board. admin and mods would deterimine worthiness of posts.

maybe little red ducati dots instead of stars

example: Scott R has already started a thread which is encompassing the history of TOB. IMO this is a valuable asset to this community. This kind of thing would earn him a little ducati circle under his member name.

once a certain number of circles are earned, they get bigger (i.e. - 5 small circles = 1 larger circle, etc....

this would be a better way to determine the value of a members contribution than sheer number of posts

That's a good idea but I think it would become rather tedious for the admins.

so are post count, stars, and title (ie. new member, jr member, etc.)  proportionate to each other?

if im correct does all that redundancy have any purpose?

is rethinking this like herm posted an option? or is it ingrained in the program this board runs on?

I like dots, especially red ones....

Yes.

Many boards are now instituting processes whereby users can add points for a poster by voting a posting useful. It's called different things, but you get the idea. Often, voting is enabled only in certain sections. For example, NMC would probably not be a good place to enable voting.

I think there's room for both systems - a post count could let people know how talkative someone is, while reputation voting could help with figuring out how closely to pay attention to someone.

Can we bring the TOB red dot over here? I really enjoyed that little thingy.
