I know this is a little off topic but I thought I would post it here because more people come across this topic, anyway how do you increase your member ranks in this forum, I know that are rank is represented by dots but anyway what qualifes you to move up?

Its from how many post you have. I personally which we didnt have ranks and maybe people wouldnt post just to be posting.

I never post just to be posting, and I have made the second most number of posts here on KIC. And yes, they are based on the number of posts. I`m not certain the exact rankings, but I know there have been other topics on the very subject.

To Become a LOCAL!!!!

Simple rule about posting, think about quality over quantity.

Quality goes a long way around here. And Quantity gains you no more respect than someone with less quantity and greater quality. As said before, think before you post.

Thank You for the example of quantity over quality.

Thanks for providing an example of what not to do.

EDIT: Darn! Didn't see TylerRider's post. >.<

I never post to post either even thought I have not been on in quiet sometime but I am now back and ready to talk to all my friends here again.

KILateNighter,

Keep in mind (as exampled above) that occasional attempts at humor can quickly be pounced on by the "Quality" police.

If my taking up 2 whole panes with an attempt at humor (which is about ranking by the way) to hit 100 has really offended any of you "Quality" minded long timers.....

GOOD!!!

Gobble, Gobble

This is an excellent example of why many internet forums have done away with the number of posts being so visible.

I think it can be a good thing. You will be able to see whether you can trust someone or not.

But then again... *cough* Snowman! *cough*

Amen. Quantity means absolutely nothing...some people post lots of gibberish, some people post seldom but almost always with incredible wisdom (Shaggy comes immediately to mind, as do many others), and some just....post.

It has taken me 2 years to get past 1000, in part becuase I forgot my password and username...heehee, but I digress. It took me a whole to break 1000 because I don't just post every 5 seconds to get my rank up...

As others have said Snowman, Quality over Quantity, now you trying to make a joke offend me? No, but taking two panes where someone else could have responded did....and I am not an old timer...
