Yeah, G.P., that's the kind of thing I would do (but it would take me so much longer!)
But anyway, what I want to know is what the exact system is (if there is on)? Such as, is there a set number of posts per dot, or is it an increasing amount each dot, or anything like that? I just want to know, because if there's anything I hate worse, it's not knowing the little things. Also, does it have anything to do with threads started?
Finally, are the dots placed automatically (by computer/program), or are they place manually? And are the titles such as Understudy, Forum Groupie, Forum Junky, Forum Fanatic, etc. all done by computer, or are they also done manually? I know the titles like "Waffleking" are manually (as it was said), but are the others (that I have stated) manual also?

It would lead to spiteful allocations (and non-allocations) and jealously; I can only see it causing resentment among posters about why they are not liked as much as others.If we dump the current system I would be fine with no system at all. Post count may be mis-leading in many ways but it does give at least a vague idea of who is and isn't a veteran- not as a means of favouritism, but simply because when adusting to a forum it is good to know that. I certainly found it handy when I joined.
yep, so did i.
