I was not on for a couple days. What is with the new poster ranking?

We adjusted the rankings;

Just got here 1 Post

Rookie 15 Posts

Veteran 100 Posts

Pro Bowler 1000+ Posts

How about at 2K for posts it goes to HOF'er?

I say 5,000.....more in line with the rest of the scale

10,000+ should be "Get a life"

I was here from the time when the site got redone and only have 400 posts

I have less.

Ahh I've been here for as long as I can remember. I remember going to PackerChatters and finding out the website kept crashing because of lack of bandwidth or some kid hacked in..

Had to start all over again with a new name and new post number. Eh well....

I've been here through several iterations of the site now as well...

I've also had discussions with the mods during other iterations about how I think displaying post counts or valuing members based on how many posts they have made is kind of juvenile...

But we're back at it again - I guess I don't really care anymore...

I think there should be some type of a Reputation Bar. It could help new people on the site to find the best posters and who are really respected. The bar should be "bad rep" and "good rep".

That is even worse...

You have people trashing your "rep" because they don't like your opinion? No thanks...

I don't think any poster would do that here. If they don't agree with someone then they should discus it. They have this on other sites I go on and it has never happened to anyone.

I don't know how that would work. Because from time to time, even the best posters get a little on edge and tpe things they don't mean. Plus you have to consider that some posters state their opinions and others state facts and stats...

So which would get a better rep?

We won't be doing that but thanks for the suggestion.

I've seen those on other boards and they work pretty well.

I'm on another board where I have over 12,600. I have a lot of unmonitored internet time at work.

Hello

Mark - I know this question has been asked before, but like many others I was here before your site was invaded by a few years ago. I first logged on the year Ahmad "can't let go " Carroll was drafted. Is it possible to add those posts to my total?

Thanks

You can e-mail me direct if you wish. I believe you have my e-mail address.

OH MY! LOL!

Sorry....not possible to do.

Theres more to life then worrying about post count and poster ranking.

and who decides that, what if you don't like an opinion is that a bad rep?

Some people use it as a source of self esteem. More power to them if it makes them happy.

i use to worry about it, seeing people have more posts and me and thinking that i would not be as respected as others that have a high post count.

now i worry that even if i get a high post count people still wont care for my opinion and force me to realise that my opinion as about as profound as an onion!

Quality beats quantity.


And one more post for me. YES!

Re: the idea of a reputation bar, two thoughts:

1. Only if it has really good liquor in the well and lots of good bar food.
2. Ever since high school when certain babe-esque girls always seemed to gravitate toward the bad rep guys, I've wanted a bad rep "score".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I promise to tell all my friends that Iowa is the baddest dude I ever met online, perhaps the legend will spread westward to the midwest... Ah, I can envision it now... Iowa Packer, The High Plains Drifter of the Green Bay Packer forums. Sorry, I couldn't resist either.

Well - there is a hidden 'reputation' level here on PackerChatters... On your profile page there is a 1-5 star rating that other users can click on.

And guess what - it's being used just like I expected. Some petty user didn't like something you posted several months ago? One star for you! Some people seriously need to grow up.

Don't worry ajg, I'm still waiting on my Hall of Fame induction ceremony

I hear you, Heat - Honestly - I couldn't care less about post count, poster ranking and reputation on a web site... I have more important things to care about. After all - present company excluded -many times somebody with several thousand posts on this site has less and less quality compared to the quantity of the posts. (Not you Heat - I gave you 5 stars... )

It just takes away from my overall enjoyment of the forums when people can be petty with user ratings...

I'm going for a negative star ranking!

And with this post I have one more than you. I now lead 524-523!

What do I win?

A cookie?

Oops - we're even again...

I just noticed that the "Rating" area on the profile page disappeared...

Thanks guys - PackerChatters just became a slightly more friendly place.

It's magic.
