It's Time to Change the Ranking System

Most of us are legends, and several people are making the veteran title meaningless. Can we add another layer? Please Rob, Please Craig?

It's just an indication of how many times you've posted. Are people really that caught up on here with titles? Would you post any differently if you, a Broadway Legend, had a different "title" than someone who became a BL only last week? Titles mean nothing, it's just a fun little thing.

After 5000 posts, you should be able to make up your OWN epithet.

I would personally be happy if the rankings were just dropped. Who cares who's a legend or whatever else? It's become too much of an issue.

I think rather than the number of posts, it should be determined by the date you joined.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I like Flowery's idea about letting everyone make their own- it'd be kinda fun. Anyway, this is my 9146th post and I want a different rank....

I think it was Craig who said that once you get to 10,000 posts you should get a life.

I know, I know. It's pathetic. But what else is there to do between ten PM and two AM? The angst and random threads are always moving.

I think it should be upgraded...I hardly feel like I am worthy of being a Legend. I want to earn my place in BWW much more!

Insomniak, that made me laugh!

I like the idea of becoming Stritch aftr you reach 6000 posts or more. I would strive to be her.

I have a brilliant idea- ignore the ranking system. Ignore the self-congratulatory "I became a legend in 3 days by doing nothing but making 2-sentence posts the whole time" threads. Just overlook it, and judge people by what they write.

Plum, it's not that I think less of Swings or whatever, the ranks are just for fun. Why not have a few funny ones for the crazily addicted?

It's mostly the desperate lengths people go through to become legends that make me wonder why we care at all. Quality over quantity, people. The number of posts you make doesn't mean crap.

I have only posted 2200 times and I am proud of 2000 of those posts. Admittedly my real number is probably several thousand posts higher than that but you have to take in the Jose' deletion factor.
