New class of posters?

[thirdfey]

Since you become a senior member after like 30 posts maybe for people who have posted like 150 or more could be put in a class, like Elder Member or something. Something to make them stand out more. Most of the people that post that many know what they are talking about, so this could make them stand out more. Or, I know, make it a survey, should there be a new class of poster and what should it be?

super-user
elder
godlike
unemployed
no new class

There are a few posters that are in a class of their own and one has over 1100 posts. I wouldn't listen to him though.

Just kidding Darren!! You are one of the few that stands out, and I value your input.

I guess I have never really paid attention to the numbers of posts, because there are some people that are new to the boards and really know their stuff, and then there are those that have been here a while, and do not. I would never proclaim to know anything. I just give my opinion. I have even gone back and reread some of my older posts and wondered what the heck I was thinking. Bottom line is, even though it might be a silly idea or solution, it has worked for at least one person and it may be something to try if all else has failed.

As, to your question of new title, I like GURU!

I don't put much stock in the number of posts a user has. I for instance, have relatively few posts but I changed names a couple months ago and that reset my number. also some people just don't really say much for helpfull info. I almost think that having to many classes will make people post more junk to reach the next class.

I also beleive that creating a new class will encourage more frivolous posts just to get to the next level. We have enough of these already. Just because a person has a lot of posts, it doesn't necessarily mean they know what they are talking about.
