Yes, and the only way to lose your status of 'Peasant' is to become a staff member. And the chances of that are very, very slim.

No the forum rankings as in like Uber Poster and stuff like that. Like it determines your rank the more you post.

Did they ever exist? I don't know anything about them.

Even so, rankings like that are completely pointless. People who spam and post lots would get high ranks, when people who only post when necessary, although highly intuitive and informative, would get low ranks.

Well said, Peasant.

We used to have a ranking system here but it only caused problems. Post spamming, poor quality files being released in high volume... we're better off without it.

You are correct, Peasant Quiztis.

I'm winning/losing the post count war (depending on how you look at it).

Hah.

That's why you post a lot of rubbish, isn't it, Skorn?

Wow, all that spam in the past for rankings that most likely don't exist. If there were rankings, It's be judged on the quality of the post. If it were useful, +1 point, if it were just stupid, -1 point

Let me heat that up for you... 
Most of the posts here are stupid, but in a funny fruity sort of way. Does that mean Tal would have a low rank because he said "I need to go to the bathroom"?

I guess my system would be a bit flawed.

I object 
Any system that doesn't rank me first is flawed.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
Huh, I dropped a rank... though, I imagine that if our "king" continues his current rate of posting, I'll have overtaken him by next year.

Quack. 
I wouldn't mind a Join Date. You can't spam to bump that up (or rather down), and it at least tells you if the poster's a n00b, or an uber veteran, like me.

Yea there used to be ranking systems. For anyone who was here back when I first joined, it caused issues with me for some reason. It's better to be rid of it IMO
