No. It would just promote elitism.
Frickin A.
Anytime anyone comes up with an idea, someone always says it will promote elitism. It's getting really old gus.Who's Gus?Oops. I have no idea who gus is...but i was definitely talking to him....yeah.And yes, it is. It's a conversation-stifler. It's a word people regurgitate because they feel the need to 'add' to a topic, when in actuality, it doesn't help at all. It's also, in case you couldn't already tell, one of my pet peeves. >.<
A rank between members/mods would be beneficial. Like it or not, older members tend to be more knowledgeable than newer ones - a "Senior Member" role that is allowed to flag topics (mods would see a number next to topics showing the number of flags) and has that title would be beneficial to the forum, in my mind. If it wasn't working too well, mods could just ignore the flags and it'd be as if nothing changed. The role could be dished out to everyone with an account older than a couple of years, then removed as needed - as accounts from then on mature up past two years old (or whatever) they'd go up for review and a mod would check posts and so on to decide if that member needs that role or not.
A basic system, but one with few drawbacks.I agree entirely with what you said. A rank between member/mod would be beneficial, but then again, someone is going to say that if those members are in-between, why not just make them a full mod with all the privileges? Then I would say to read what Saint said about how it could easily be taken away.
