It's the post count that attains elite status. But only 'real' posts count ;)

I think length of time as a DDF member should also be a factor, in addition to post count.

If we are all saying our opinions, methinks if someone gets a +1 it should count as 2 posts.

But then the +1 does not count.
If you don't care why would you comment?

huh? why not? the person who says +1 gets a post but the original comment should deserve extra credit towards elite status because it was a good comment...

Henche, there's only one!

I think length of time as a DDF member should also be a factor, in addition to post count.

Maybe then people won't accuse me of being a post wh0re, especially when I'm so not (e.g. I almost always multi-quote etc.)

There should be -1 as well :)

huh? why not? the person who says +1 gets a post but the original comment should deserve extra credit towards elite status because it was a good comment...

But then I'd have to pad my post count by posting +1 separately to give someone else the credit (bump their post count) and another post to say whatever else I have to say.

1st of all you for sure just gave Am an ego boost for commenting on this thread. 2nd Indeed there should be -1 although beware of the effects of cyber bullying http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Megan_Meier. 3rd all of this is only in theory I wasn't thinking how it would work practically.

Anyone here should be able to anonymously +1/-1 a post, that shouldn't result in bullying, unless someone really deserves it (as indicated by everyone else's ranking of their posts).

Bring back Karma/Kudos?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Youtube still uses that idea... So is this the next forum upgrade?

It'll make for more real post counts (and that applies to me as well).

Perhaps, without the 'smite'. Too many babies here.

I think rating specific posts is even better though.
