I was wondering what happened to the ranks when I logged in XD.
And yesterday, I was looking at creepy's post count and saying: Omg this guy is awesome! 10k post count?!
I feel really bad for you
.
Other than that I can't say it was a bad idea. Like Shane, I've seen a few members being discredited because of their activity before. And also saw people just posting for their post count.
I don't mind this change too much.
However, a suggestion: What if we could still see our post count, but only in your profile? Ranks would still be off of course.
Or we could have a new rank:
Members that have been registered for more than 60 days (or 120, 160, 200, whatever the moderation decides) would receive a special rank. Probably... Power Member? No special rights or anything. Just for the shows.
