Thanks to everyone who helped to shape this conversation and these choices.

OK, so I'm probably going to get labelled a "miserable old git", but personally, I don't like showing the number of posts, or have ranks based on post count. I've seen forums where some folk are ranked as things like "Super enlightened love-guru", based on their post-count, but most of their posts don't actually contribute to anything, posts like "Wow, that's cool" and sarcastic jokes (much like mine...)

Some forums have things like "Kudos" buttons, where you can click if the post writer has given good advise or maybe posted something you really like, that sort of thing. Then ranks mean something.

I just found the awards plugin for members, I'll see about getting it activated and set it so that members can award each other.

Congrats Shep!

I've been thinking a great deal about the concepts of community and membership which has led to some changes on this forum.
This video is one of the things that helped me clarify my thought process;




Now that the votes are done I've changed the permissions so everyone can see the results.
This will be my new policy moving forward; Voting will only be open to members who have 1+ post on the forums and Papercuts voting will have an even higher bar.

[Vermin King]

That is really good, sir. Does a lot to cement many ideas I already had, but I hadn't put together that well

[uptrainfan89]

I really like the new updates so far! We also have a pretty awesome community here too!
