Subject: A Question [To the mods]

Is it possible to go up a rank from Member for having alot of posts? because i have 400+ posts and i was just wondering if anything happens for getting like 500 or 1000 posts ect. Thanks.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I have quite a bit of posts and I havn't recieved anything....

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

No.

Bungie.net does not have any form ranking, unfortunately.

I'm certifiable.

I believe Achronos is dead set against rewarding people solely for post counts, and he's got a point; volume doesn't make you a GOOD member, just a loud one. Post counts did run here, briefly and before my time here I think, and the spam got pretty bad.

Besides, there's no "ranking" in the forums here. There's a specialty title of Theme Master that was granted to those who created Group Themes for the previous version of the site (and I have no idea if there'll be more of those in the future, though I personally hope so) but beyond that every member has the same title, "member".

-- Steve's of course excepting moderators and Bungie staff from that count, but those titles (though whimsical) are functional and serve a purpose... not so much rewards as name tags stitched to our forum-overalls.

Sweet.

Anyways, no, there isn't. And if there was, it'd be abused and elitism...

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

She said the "E" word!!! This thread is no officially over...

Post counts are bad. They encourage things like "I agree", because that would count as a post. Honestly, I'm glad we don't have post counts on B.net anymore. I would be greatly depressed by the number of posts I've made in the past 3 years. What we should do is make a "character count" and all try to guess how many millions of characters Foman has used.

Kinda like Price is Right.

Congratulations! At 500+ posts, you don't get a new rank, but you suddenly start to lose your soul in real life. You'll wake up one day and your mom will call you on the phone and when you answer, the only thing you'll be able to do is make jokes about how promiscuous she is. Your dog will whine and instead of feeding it, you'll slam a Legendary Edition helmet on its head. You will strive to turn every comment made by someone else into a chance to prove how witty and funny you are. You will begin to develop severe ADHD. You will tell people to search before talking. You will instinctively start to say "blam" instead of actual cursewords. Whenever any of your friends have an idea, you will be the first to start a new clique designed solely to talk about that idea.

Ah yes, are you sure you want to keep posting here?

My thoughts exactly.

Prometheus: 200,000, Recon...
Berserker: 200,001, please.
Prometheus: You bastard...

--For the sake of public knowledge, Foman is a great friend..a friend who just happens to make the most of the 10,000 character count limit : (--

After I hit my 1,000th post, I got a PM from Shishka telling me to get a life........does that count?

Whether it's superbouncing or interrupting weapon animations, just because we don't personally ban you for it doesn't mean it isn't cheating and extremely poor sportsmanship.

Since it's too late for your mom.

Haha!

And yes, as said before, post counts are bad. They turn good members bad, bad members worse, and worse members into horrible, horrible monsters....

You receive nothing. But I suppose you could copy and paste your 1000th post, print it out, fold it into a hat and wear it around thus proving that you have achieved the Holy Grail in Bungie.net lore, which is to max out the numbers when you search for posts in your name. But wait, there's more! You may or may not receive congratulatory PMs from members who may or may not care, because really, it's all a bunch of meaningless text on the internet.

I had two souls and lost both! I need to get some more.

There are no ranks for number of posts, as the others have said. Of course I would like one that says,"I can turn text into food" for someone who reaches 100,000 or a million or something.

Sometime I wonder why I even click on view thread. I'll go back to the other corner of the forums now :P

They took off join dates under your avatar when you post (its still in your profile) because it was causing many members to be elitist towards others.
I don't think they will add a feature that would pretty much replace the posters join date but instead with post counts.
Its like going in a big circle but ending up with a different conclusion but the same problem you started with.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

I agree with the majority here. No thanks.
