Mods / Admin question -- New Senior Member status?

I'm only throwing this out there as a suggestion--
I know member status has to do with number of posts, not time on the forum. I see some people joining last year, and already put up enough posts to get to Senior status.

My suggestion/thought/proposal - can there be a new classification for us truly "Senior Members" that have not only contributed hundreds/thousands of posts over the years, but who have also been here for years? Not sure if you can, or even what you could call it.

Again, just throwin it out there.

    What are the alternatives to the forum seniority system?

    Popularity? Do we give each other likes or reps or thumbs down and such? Can we vote someone off the forum? Maybe we can earn an immunity idol by being extra popular.

    How about a meritocracy? We score you based on how useful you post or reply. How many actually read your post. The best rise to the top.

    Yeah, that should work. And when you reach exalted status, you get to start a thread and then immediately close it so you get the last word and no one can disagree with you. :R

    Mods, please close with this as the last post. :B

    10?? Hell, I'm 65+ and they don't call me a Senior ;)
  • Why not up the number of posts for full and senior members?

    Or stop showing the number of posts after a certain number has been reached?

    Like McDonalds, billions and billions served.

    The only foreigners on the truck camper forum are those visitors without truck campers...

    ... you know... the ones the rest of us feel sorry for!

    Keep dreaming... someday...

  • A "Senior Member" is one whose opinions should be taken as real truth, due to his/her vast experience and knowledge.
  • With promotions, demotions may also occur. Pass the popcorn!

    And you're complaining about that?
