Re: Forum Rankings
I have always understood rankings on Forums to be 'just a bit of fun'.
You might say that someone with thousands of posts needs to get out more

Re: Forum Rankings
How many posts do I have? What rank am i? Who cares? I'm here because I enjoy the craic with fellow forum members and gassing about watches.
I've learned a lot and hopefully this enables me to pass a little bit on to the next guy. However, I would hate for anyone to see my rank and make the assumption that I actually know something

Re: Forum Rankings
I'm currently regarded as an Expert and shortly to become a Senior Expert. That can't be right; when I see some of the contributions here I feel a true ignoramus. I think recognition of Expert should come at 500 and the rest be proportionate to that.

Re: Forum Rankings
I'm noob here, but my opinion is: all that "ranking" is just a trash , not much not less. Who cares 100500 posts or 500? I think, 500 is enough to say that man IS forum addicted All other counts - just "blinky badge" to show up. Call it Expert or Super_Watch_Collector or The_GOD - thats no difference for me. And for you, yup?
Watch out :)

What is this forum about?Lego wrote:Would 500 posts from someone who only ever posted things like 'nice watch' 'strap looks great' be truly reflective of the title 'Expert'?.

Yes, it's all predominantly about Christopher Ward watches, news, views, pictures and owner questions.
IMHO as a "newbie" if I ask a question and it can be answered by a "10 poster" or a "1000 poster" it makes no difference to me.
Just because someone has posted many hundreds/thousands of times and appears to show a great interest in the forum (no bad thing at all) then well done but in all honesty is anyone really bothered about being known a God/Supremo/Master...the list could go on.

Re: Forum Rankings
I agree. When I joined the forum I never imagined I would be up there on page one. It just sort of happens, and you don't think about it. Just a bit of fun.scooter wrote:It's just a bit of fun.

Re: Forum Rankings
I think I share the views of Scooter and AVO.
It's an irrelevance, albeit a fun one, if you find that kind of thing fun!
