Allright Folks,

Some love em' and some hate em'. Of course I'm talking about board ranks.On Knox it was from "Private" to "Yoda" and everything in between.As far as I'm concened they're nothing but fun but some here DO feel differently.... For the record we already have one assigned to Greg Pease as our official "Dark Lord"....

It's time to put it to an official vote!

Ranks: Yea or Nay


Best,
Dock

Makes no difference to me one way or another. If you like it, implement it.

Personally I like the idea we had originally, That is... To get a title you gotta earn it. And not by some arbitrary means such as post count. To me 4000 'Good Post Bro's' or 'I agree 100 %' post are not equal to one well thought out and meaningful post.

I would vote either no (for post counts = rank) or yes for something like PB proposes.

My personal philosophy is that no one had a choice of entering this world, their skin color, their parents social standing, their looks etc. and in a hundred years no one will be able to distinguish anyone's dust from the another's...so temporary titles mean nothing to me. What's important to me is how well someone uses their given attributes and treats their fellow men and women.

I'll vote nay. PB's point is obvious about the "I agree" and similar posts. I don't know about how earning a title would work but you might have to guard against popularity rankings...unless that is the point.

Very true PB, but A pease mug means you can buy the tie yourself or whatever else you want for $13.98.
