Ranking or Prize
« on: July 05, 2018, 05:49:08 pm »
This may be a silly question (stop laughing bplus) but I need to know.

When reading posts I have noticed a coloured square to the immediate left of our profile names.

I'm going to guess that these will change colour based on the number of posts we make. Yes? If so, is it possible to know what the colours are, and at what point do they change? If we can reach the "Top" colour, do we get a prize or do the colours revert and the cycle continues? lol

I told you it was silly (Ok, bplus, you can stop laughing) but I'm curios about stuff like that...

Green for online, gray for offline. No ranks.

Ha! I don't laugh, I didn't even notice the square by name or wonder what it might be used for.

I personally like the fact, that this forum doesn't have any ranking or viewing the number of posts done by a member. It will hopefully prevent people from posting nonsense comments (even to topics they're not familiar with) just to push their own ranking, or making any assumptions on a members experience in programming depending on the number of posts and therefor the amount of help they'd provided to the less/more experienced user.

I tend to screw with forums that use ranking. It's just too comical to let it go. Stars, bars and antique cars; step right up and post some crap. Just put some damn smileys  on the boards and then everybody's, except Bill, is :D.

Hey but why don't you use cakes as ranking method?

I think that this one is very pleasant for someone that is cartoon like me
;-)

PS
If you wait for some time I'll post RecipeBook 0.3 in which you can store cakes' recipes. :-)
