MtB Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 28 minutes ago, cuthound said: Not post counts, but post numbers to make identification of a specific post possible without having to quote it. You know like we used to have umpteen upgrades ago. Seconded. Given Team Mod seem to be casting around for improvements, for me getting post numbers back would be a far better improvement than contrived status badges. I don't care if post numbers are missing from the sequence as a result of hiding rule-busting posts. And on that subject, developing and publishing a moderation policy would be a Good Idea too, please. At the moment there seem to be rules mods apply we don't know about, and other rules which mods refuse to apply when posts are reported. Not often, but annoying when this happens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 would like to be a boatswain.

BilgePump Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Mine's changed to 'Influencer'. Of all the words I hate, that's right up there. Makes me think of the narcissistic parasites of Instagram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as the list is upside down, does that mean I am under the influencer? 12 minutes ago, rusty69 said: I'm going shopping later, should I buy apples or Bananas?

I'm gonna start using lots of technical words like plutonium, protactinium, reactor, motor, capacitor and large hadron collider to see if I can get one.

TheBiscuits Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 I think you and I should hold out for a "Wit" badge. To save work for team mod, we could share one badge between us ... @rusty69 and @TheBiscuits The 50% witty. I don't think it would be a very Rare badge though!

Alan de Enfield Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 The only difference now is that we are (all ?) "Grade II Veterans". Either get rid if it completely or get a meaningful system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also appears that the virtual pub inhabitants still top the league tables on a regular basis despite the thinly disguised attempt to discuss current affairs. Every thread I have read in there ends in a multi page fight between the Welsh cruiser and the rest of the world with points awarded for the best put down.

I feel sure I have achieved that status by now. Unless your a politician of the lowest to the higest rank you will never achieve that status. I found a whole load of these in the bin when I visited 10 Downing Street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
