Ideas on how to get members more involved

[Collin Li]

They are just forum titles that are automatically dished out based on your post-count. They only serve to act as descriptors for your post-count, and nothing more. It doesn't imply any form of authority, only a number of posts. You needn't get so upset about it.

... That post made no logical sense whatsoever. Hero Member WAS attained by getting 500 posts. "Goals and dreams" on a forum? What the hell? >_> I am having serious trouble making head or tails of this.

Anyway, the rankings have been changed to better reflect the kind of community that we are.

how is that relevant in saying to become a hero member u need 500 posts. It does not justify your actions in treating Daniel99 in a demeaning mannerism. How can u have trouble in not understanding what he is saying, he speaks truthfully about the anguish he has suffered and has gathered the courage to face up to it.

The anguish he has faced?

...

This is a VCE forum. I have seen no bullying/intimidation that you speak of except that with which I have already dealt. I charge you to provide links to these posts causing such 'anguish'.

"Mannerism?"
What anguish? What suffering?
Enwiabe is saying... how can someone who has posted 500 times be more inclined to treat people in a "demeaning" way when the only reason they are a "hero member" is because of the number of posts they have made.

Thanks Costa, shoulda mentioned that in my post.

I think that most people don't post that often becuase they feel inferior to 'hero members' and intimidated by them. An example of this is if you are not going to melbourne or monash uni you are a nobody and I dont think that im alone in thinking this. 

"hero members" ostracise and intimidate most people and say/ask trivial questions about polls etc, which means nothing, and is pathetic.

if you want more people to post ,I'd suggest that 'superior' members, let them have their own goals and dreams and don't deprive them of it just because it does not meet your standards.

Hmm "polls" ... are you talking about the SEAS thread?

[enwiabe]

If he is referring to the SEAS post, then coblin's question was completely valid. Daniel99 set up the poll so that you could vote both 'yes' and 'no' at the same time. Only after I fixed it did that poll become logical. Daniel99, I'm going to advise that you don't make sweeping statements about respected, well-meaning members of this forum. You misconstrued coblin's intention, and that's okay, but I'd ask that you reconsider your stance in the posts above.

I think the new ranking system is really cool.

And I like the idea of rewards or privileges as you go higher up in post count - like karma (awesome idea to whoever though of it).

And LOL to 'anguish'. I agree about being a bit intimidated by those who have high post counts, but once you start posting, you soon forget about it.

Heh, I was trying to hint a fix to the poll's options in a sneaky way.

It'll also popularise the VN acronym and move it away from FSN, but shhhh that's an ulterior motive.

evidence, your blatant ignorance to your own obliviousness in what you are writing now is evidence. You merely disregard daniel's comment and state "it makes no logical sense". What becuase u dont understand it, it doesnt make sense. It's this reason why daniel is frustrated with people like yourself beacuse you do think your superior, hate to burst your bubble but your not

That didn't make sense.

He can be -or seem to be- power hungry sometimes. Lol.

Besides that, I think daniel99 could be talking about the 'tone' of some of the posts? Actually, I'm not too sure.

[enwiabe]

None of what daniel99 and clinton_09 have been saying have made much sense, really. :-/ Look, I don't hold anything against either of you. You've clearly picked a fight out of nothing. You've misconstrued intentions and exaggerated your reactions. The fact that you can't provide any evidence (I.E. links to posts) to back up what you're saying makes it clear that you're just grasping at straws. My advice to the both of you is to let it go. Seriously. :-/
