Wow, and there was me thinking it was numerical order.teestech wrote:Only issue I see with using the CW model number is, does it say to some forum members that their watch is somehow 'worse' or below other peoples? Personally, I don't think the rankings are that important, especially considering there's a post count.

Re: Forum Rankings
I am perhaps over sensitive, but would welcome this, or other titles that do not refer to people as 'gods', however lightheartedly. It's not a hang-up and I am not proselytising but I have always felt a little uncomfortable about it, though not sufficiently to make a fuss until I noticed this thread was 'resurrected'.Kip wrote:How about this?

I have to admit that the only time I notice my forum ranking is when it has changed.
