An idea regarding membership levels

Hi all ::wave::
I was thinking today about membership colors. I was thinking there should be a level in between Tenured and Honored.
That possibly once a member reaches 1000 posts their color should be changed to blue. For the blue members currently I was thinking their status could be changed to "Revered" and whatever color "Revered" would be.

I am open to ideas, if current "honored" members would like to keep their blue. Maybe change blue to revered and created a new color for honored.
This is just a thought. I thought that those of us who are very active member and have reached the 1000 post mark should be recognized is some way but not necessarily in the same way as the honored members. Does that make sense?

This is just my thoughts. I am open to ideas. :wizard:

Just being tenured I take that as an offense.

I get a message, when I read/hear it.

I´ll just stick to helpdesk when I need an answer - I noticed I hardly get answers here anyway.

No hard feelings but I don´t need this.
Bye.

Well It wasnt a comment made for the purpose of offending any new members JUST reaching tenured in the first place. Why would i have a problem with that?

I was simply agreeing with seer that i would love for the forum to get more colorful. Grey,Orange,Blue seems dull. As some Global Moderators such as Orchid-Dragoness were actually labeled green last year, but a bug came out and turned then into orange.

Huggiesz though :hug: <33333333

I know what you meant Killar. You are a joker. Don't let it get to you. :hug:

Lili...Don't be so fast to allow other people to ruin your day. A thick skin can be mighty helpful in avoiding hurt feelings. This is nothing against newly tenured. I just thought it might be nice to have a level for those who have 1000 posts or more. Killar would fit into the category, as would Noc, Toady, Dragon, etc. Notice I don't have 1000 post yet, although I am getting close. I think it would less confusing to newer members if there was a third color added. That's all. Hope your day gets better. :hug:

I like the basis of the idea, but I don't like the idea of the colours/ranks being post based. I've never been a fan of that idea.

Like I said, I am totally open to ideas. :D Feel free to suggest something else. I thought post based might be a good idea because it shows how active the member is. Plus it gives members something to shoot for. There is also time based. Perhaps, a year? Six months? Almost like leveling while gaming. The more time you put in the the more your membership level reflects it. I got the "revered" idea from WOW levels. Friendly/tenured, Honored, Revered, Exalted. I can think of a few members I would put at the Exalted level. Most of these are blue already. Caiyros, is one who is still orange. His scope of wisdom should be recognized so the newer members can recognize his place in the forum and our hearts. ;) That's all.
