First up I'd like to thank sincerely the participants of this thread for the many minutes of genuine laughter they've provided me with. My observations and involvement in forums and servers over several years leads me to make the following conclusions. New, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum identifying symbols and the number of posts made by a user is begging for trouble. Certain types of people are drawn to these things for whatever reason (compensation for a tiny whatsy or who knows \ cares). Users, Mods and Admin all have their place, to create an artificial pecking order has the effect of making some people believe that their contribution is somehow worth more than others. Thus we have tantys being thrown and knickers being twisted when these types feel that X number of thousand posts has magically conferred upon them some kind of god like status, thereby entitling them to special treatment. Fact is they're just another user. Mods, your job requires you to make decisions that people may not like sometimes.. tough s***, let 'em get over it in their own way, you don't need to explain yourselves.When all else fails the /nuke button wins.
As I said, thanks for the laughs.
