Default Senior Members at only 100 posts??

Does anyone else think that people becoming Senior Members at the 100 post mark is much too low??

Perhaps something like 500 would be more reasonable?? It's just an idea...with the 100 number being so low it's easy for even TROLLS to become Senior members within a very short time span...

Are you implying that you are a TROLL and found it easy to become a Senior Member! . May I applaud your frankness and honesty sir, and suggest that find a quiet corner and 'do the decent thing'.
BANG!

The honorary titles of 'Grand Poobah' and 'Big kahuna' would indeed help massage the oriental ego.

As a reward to respondents of quality: temporary elevation to honorary membership of the 'Supreme Order of Wonderfulness" or some such accolade may encourage quality posts as opposed to inane 'spam type' posts in big letters/ color font that some unlebenswurdig persons use.

He's just mad because Thexder-buddy there got to be referred to as a "Senior Member" and no one wants to talk about him... That and his name is Otto.

Maybe at 3,000 posts you could chose your title.

I think it's a good idea, just so long as I'm not referred to as big popa smurf when my post count reaches 1,000.

I remember a while ago me and you were in a tie for who had the most posts. Then I started coming less and less and you jumped me by 2,000 posts.

Thexder is kind of cool in having the Canadian government chasing after him...

Why did Steve B get banned? I don't remember how this started? Did he get in a fight with Tom88 or something?

Heh, surely there's no one on this board who fits that description.

We could have a weekly list showing how many, Grand Poobahs, Big Kahunas & Mighty blowhards we currently have and a how many weeks they have retained their titles.

It sounds like fun, but this is the kind of thing that will start to ruin forums as people focus on post count rather than post quality. Soon you have people writing one-liners in EVERY thread rather than contributing anything of quality.

Oh, and on the topic of this thread, it seems that Senior Members now must have more than 1,000 posts.
