I wish we would delete the Star rating system,and the names like "Old Hand".
It makes more controversy then a Jack Douglass COPO/*/Yenko.
Just show the Date registered,and the number of Posts next to the name.

I'll second that idea, Rick. I just wish I could (easily). I am currently looking at hacking the board to eliminate them, but I've got to weigh the pros/cons of hacking a functioning (and licensed!) board. But, I'm looking into it...

I'll second that idea, especially due to the hassle I received over just asking a question about why some are/are not listed the same with the same number of posts.
Anyone who joins should be a "Member", nothing more - nothing less. The number of posts is enough to let others know how long you're been around.
And the stars should go away. It's a status ranking system that can cause ill feelings.
My 2 (member) cents.
Verne
PS: Would someone please get rid of my stars.

Guys I thought we were having fun with the whole star & title thing in this thread??? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Are we like the Navy or what ever branch of our government's military that has "time out's" so the puss boys that can't hack won't crack?

Or the little league teams that give everybody a trophy so the sissy's of the group don't get their feelings hurt??

Give me a break! If I got upset because a fellow member of an online forum that I post on had a title like Elite Member or Forum Leader and 5 stars and that upset me, I should call Dr. Phil so he could help me out with my self esteem!

Dr. Phil is must be Jerry Springers cousin.

**hvychev** · #18 08-14-2003, 04:43 AM

He might be Dan. I just want to make sure that I am not dealing with a bunch of Nancy boys. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Only Charley gets the brown star.

Hi Frank,
Perhaps I did become a little overly sensitive to the replies I received when I first asked my question about the titles. The replies inferred that I "needed" a better title. That is not the case. I was merely confused when I saw someone with 1 post titled "member" and another with 1 post titled as "stranger". The titles are obviously constructed in such a way as to encourage members to post more often. But I assure you, the titles aren't important to me; nor are the stars. My self esteem is fine.
And it seems that I am not the only one who thinks it's a good idea to see the stars go away. But I'm new here, so perhaps it would be a better idea for me to keep my ideas to myself, and just focus on trying to help people when I can.
I don't need any trophies. My cars are my "trophies".
Regards,
Verne.
