    DZ,

    There are only 3 titles

    at the moment, but we can add as many and varied as we want. For starters I will set them up the way we had them

    on the old forum. In addition to titles this forum also has "rankings" and user "ratings"!

    Surely rankings and ratings will only lead to

    alienation and cliquey popularity contests?

    stuff like that always gets ugly. Especially when it can be done

    so anonymously.

    But that's just my 2000 Dinars.

    I

    agree with Steve. We don't need rankings and ratings IMHO.

    Rankings are very similar to the

    "titles" you are familiar with. They are based on the number of posts. Ratings, if I understand this right, are

    far more complex than a simple popularity contest. They are based on quite a few forum activities which are

    automatically formulated according to some sort of algorythm. The opinions of fellow users are just one variable in

    the equation. Most importantly though, each user has the ability/right to either make his/her rating private or

    shut the thing off altogether I think.

    Not to worry,
    Bruce

    Icarus,

    What's wrong with

    the avatars? They should be working.
