We were wondering if you could just use the star rating.

As I'm catching up with everything I am trying to bring more features as well as help into the forums, so tell you what if enough people just want the stars and no type of named rating I'll see if I can set that up.

Thanks for the feedback and even though I'm pretty busy I always try to make as much time as possible for all the forum users that spend so much of their time helping other users.

p.s. Don't think I've forgotten all your requests either Raptor (still have them all saved and on the todo list).  ;D

      I'm still trying work something out for the spellchecker as mentioned elsewhere. So for the time being unfortunately you will have to continue to deal with the spelling errors. One thing to also realize is that even if there is a spell checker that doesn't mean people will use it.

      I think the spelling is referring more to the forum main page with the headings.

      Quote
      Computer Programming
      Section dedicated to questions reguarding computer programming.

      I know we've discussed this before CHA but it's regarding not reguarding *unless you're guarding the forum again*.

      You can't force users to spell properly but you should be able to take care of your own stuff.

      Hi
      I am labled a newbie which is really good at my age and as such i have over 12 years of IT, Computer and Network experience in offices and factories all over Scotland, I was in an accident and can only do a very limited amount of physical work.I like to go into forums to help others as well as keep my old brain going, what gets me sometimes is the smug knowitall answers that often appear and they often dont give any helpful answers, have the so called experts forgotten when they were starting in IT and had to ask questions themselves?

      I would scrap the system all together. Longevity does not always equal quality.

      If I were posting a question, I would prefer a quality, workable solution from a "Newbie" rather than an non-responsive, off-topic, political rant from an "Expert".

      Just my 2˘ worth.

        Personally, i don't consider my experience & knowledge to be on par with Raptor, Merlin, DL65 and others.  

        I thought it was too easy to reach 500 posts in a short amount of time.  I'm probably in the minority, but i'd like to suggest adding a zero to the end of the requirements.  Hence:

        Computer Hope Newbie < 500 posts
        Computer Hope Junior Member 500+ posts
        Computer Hope Full Member 1000+ posts
        Computer Hope Senior Member 2500+ posts
        Computer Hope Expert 5000+ posts

        Of course, this still doesn't reflect reality, for folks like Sidewinder, FED and many others show a great deal of knowledge but do not post as frequently (or have not been posting as long).   However, this would give the recognition due to those who are pillars of the forum.  This would also give some members a greater sense of accomplishment at reaching Expert, or perhaps more incentive to stick with the forum longer.  (I hate to see people like M_2 leave.)

        Just something to think about!

        Well...

        I am by no means an expert...

        I just give suggestions, and give definate answers when I can.  That makes me feel like a member of this community...

        Its not all about ratings or post counts :-/

        I wouldnt care if it said I was an expert or a newbie...besides...if i post enough, it will say I am an expert...and we know that I am not (as stated above)

          Why do some of you get all wrapped around the axle over how the the posters are "rated" ..........

          I suppose that if your the kind of person who likes to see ........... Themselves being refered to as something they aren't then .....those people might get a rush or whatever .
          But , in reality ......who cares ........it matters not if we the posters are given gold stars , are refered to as "Newbies " or "Experts" or are somewhere in between .
          The people who come to this forum looking for resolve to some issue they have , could care less at how someone is "rated" or how many posts they have.......THAT ....doesn't mean squat.  It's workable answers or fixes they're looking for.
          So here's a novel idea .........stop sweating the things that don't matter and focus on the things that do .........
          AND the last time I checked , it was about trying to help people with their issues .........That's computer related.

          You hit the nail right on the head, dl. This site would be a lot more enjoyable and helpful if some of these "experts" remembered that. How many of them would still be here if we got rid of the stars and stopped showing the post counts?

          You are very ill-mannered and have made yourself unwelcome in my eyes. No help for you, Samuel.

          It's funny that I didn't mention anyone by name and you took it personally anyway. I guess it hits a little close to home. Thanks for proving my point. So how is the view from that ivory tower.

          You call me arrogant? Stay out of YOUR backyard? What a sad, sorry little man you are. You may spend way too much of your time here, perhaps something's missing from your life. You are just a member here, no better or worse than anyone else. Stop acting like some sort of gatekeeper. You are the unwelcome one. Take a hike.

          Proven your point? Far from it.

          It's arrogant people like you who actually make it more difficult for us to respond in a nice manner. I come here to help, not listen to people bullshitting about members with a high post count and having us told by a one-time poster about how exactly we have to behave.

          Just who do you think you are? There are only very few regular posters with a high post count. I am one of them. How can I not feel offended when you take a jab at all of them? Am I somehow supposed to probe your mind and filter out my name from the rest? Oh, wait, humans weren't born with that ability.

          I am the unwelcome one? Oh, that's funny. That's not what I hear when someone's glad that I have posted a suggestion that may have resolved their problem. They usually seem to be happy I was around.

          But since you never had any computer issues to resolve, you can't say anything about that. You just registered to complain. You're probably some bored 15 year old who thinks he can handle the world by the age of 14.

          LOL nice sig Raptor.

          Now im think the tags should say, You see Samul here has the NOOB tag witch he clearly is because he is just creating a un-happy feel with the group of Regulars.

          I only know Raptor from this fourm but i think the man  is genius! You are in no place to have a go at him. I admit that his little bit on saying "No help for you" is extream but the rest he cool with. The Shotgun bit was a joke you see if you were not a Noob with a loud mouth and came here a lot you would see that Raptor is full of them.

            Why someone gets annoyed while good work appreciated?
            I am here to solve my problems and help if I can(that happens rare ;) and feel very good when got answered , especially by Experts.
            I would increase the number of posts as pcdoc4christ says to see who deserves it. I can be an expert just posting my problems every minute.

            Ross you right! I always enjoy Raptor's jokes.
            Last ones was great ;D

              By the way, did you ever go over to Samuel's house and kill him? I haven't seen any more posts lately from him.

              Just a FYI this concept of member posts/ratings is still being thought about. Have users who like the ratings and those that don't. Have users who like the new ranking names and those that don't. Therefore I'm just trying to come up with or think about a solution that both sides will like.

                Just going over this again.

                Maybe you would loose the prefix 'Computer Hope' and just go up to Full Member / Senior Member

                To tidy up the posts losing the Re: on all replies would make things look smarter, as would serious message icons and serious Avatars.

                Losing the Edit time would be a BIG help as I nearly always have to edit something.

                And could I ask you to delete the follow on post from my moving signature please?

                yes i think that's a good idea flame. :)

                I also have another idea.

                Why not make a General Talk Forum because Merlin loves posting threads that have nothing to do with computing and well i love posting replies to them.?

                just a idea, What does everyone else think?

                    And to the Flame,

                    Are you suggesting I should be banned?

                    Or are you just trying to insult me?

                        ROSS Reguarding  your post about Merlin. See the below thread:

                        Go easy on the new users too everyone. :)

                        p.s. Dell is not Merlin.

                                And reasonably priced as well...
                                The scheduling features are more robust other than that not much.
                                But i don't mind supporting a fine product.

                                Me neither. However, I only morally support paid products. Not financially.  :)
