'Senior Member' title on CigarSmokers

[godfather]

I think the status of 'Senior Member' should NOT be based on the number of posts you have, but HOW LONG you've been here at CigarSmokers. 6 months or a year perhaps?

I've only been here a month and already I'm a senior member? 'Member' maybe, but I don't consider myself a senior member at all.

I think making this change will make it so the title has more meaning and significance on this board.

I would agree with Godfather, but I would suggest that it should be a combination of post volume and time registered.

Having said that I generally ignore the status / rank and rely on a familiarity with the quality of the member's posts when determining the value of input.

this has come up on every board that i've been on. the ranks are meaningless. there is no true way to know what someone else's knowlege is till you get to know them or respect them. i honestly think the whole ranking system should be scrapped.

How about being able to put whatever you want there... Like "Frank the Tank"

I think after a user reaches a certain number of posts, we should make a poll...

A true BOTL

Not a bad idea.. I'll look into it when the new vBulletin comes out.. (waiting on the 3.5 release... they said RC3 should be the last one before the official/stable version).

I agree, I don't even really look at what their member status is. I mean, look at how many posts SFG had, but, he was nothing but a piece of shit! I just look at previous posts they made and what the quality was to determine what kind of a person they are.
