Nope, does more harm than good, IMO

This I agree with, that's why I voted no.

But, to have a proper debate you need to also point out the other side. Since we already have viewable post counts, it could be said that it doesn't matter if we also have rankings to go along with them.

1 thing that some other boards has is a karma thing. You could set it up so you can award karma to good users, and negative karma to bad users. That way people will know who is good and who is bad.

I just like the idea. The karma system seems cool, but I just think it would be cool to have a ladder system of posting achievement.

There could be some cool titles. I am envisioning some of them as I type. :-)

i feel the same there snepp. i dont know if i was ever helpful in the old forum, but ive been busy lately, so i have only what....2 or 3 posts here, compared to being one of the guys who posted more often in the old one.

i dont think it really matters all that much. *also shrugs*

I voted no also. A perfect example of this is if any of you are a member of the High Heat forums. There's a guy over there by the name of Jordan who has over 6,000 posts and he's not even been a member there for a year yet. He posts just to see his post count go up. Nothing more and nothing less.

Absolutely not.

Having "rewards" for high post counts only breeds meaningless posts. I get enough spam in my Hotmail inbox, thank you very much.

Never pay attention to that stuff. I only associate avatar with member name and the rest means squat to me. To me, a forum is to post to inform or get information about the topic. Simple as that.
