Just for fun:

I know Sky_rich, TK and Acebarry have smashed through the 1000 posts, with me coming up to it.

It's actually quite worrying I have posted so much! thankfully I do believe most of my posts have had some substance to them. Even this one, though it is a post about posting.. meh!

;)

I think we should all get different badges on our names when you hit a certain amount of posts. 

10 - Junior
100 -
500
1k - Hero
2k
5k
10k

Etc etc... could add bit more value to posting and allow new posters to see the 'weight' behind a posters reply. For example Barry telling a newbie something about what is going on, or where to find things, would be legit, and with a nice big gold tag saying 'Hero' member would be good init

Re-reading this is probably silly but oh well! 
Dave

    They have this type of thing on most if not all other forums. Not a daft idea at all.

    Tikay with his 'other place' experience would have some good pointers on this.

    Show off


    Up to last year I had a 330i sport Touring with 'M' goodies. Great car and passed everything on the road except petrol stations. It was downright economical though compared to the 4 litre Landrover.

    Hi dave

    Yep, this is certainly a good idea.  I also notice you've cherry picked the "hero" label for your upcoming 1,000th post sir. Well played.

    Great idea, however i dont think 1 or 2 word answers should count on posts, most of the regulars here do post proper replies / questions, funny gags etc, so we should keep it that way

    Plankton 0-100
    Prawn     101-250
    Shrimp    251-500
    Fish        501-750
    Shark      751-1000
    Orca        1000+

    Maybe throw in 'great white' but race relations might not be happy.

    WOW just finished dinner, seen the total number of responses, opened this up with trepidation lol

    Webby - I think over on TK's other place the use the name Hero ;) but that's part of the fun, come up with some names!

    I guess SKy Rich can see this and comment. Rich would have 'administrator' tag ;)

    seriously dave? i thought if we were called hero that would be a bit corny, clearly this will be in the pipeline at sky and hopefully thay can bring their own ideas to the table and get something unique

    I think its an excellent idea, my only concern would be the spammers having a field day trying to raise their ratings.

    hey Dave.

    i really like this idea and it is something that is in the pipeline. may i add not the usual sky poker pipeline but my sky poker community pipeline (2 completely separate pipelines!!)

    i can't give you any concrete dates but you have my word it is coming.

    to give you a sort of sneak preview we will be calling this 'rewards'. there will be 2 types of rewards, earned rewards and assigned rewards.

    the earned rewards will work exactly how you describe - when you reach a certain level of posts you get a fancy new badge and title to attach to your profile.

    assigned rewards however will work slightly differently. we will be looking out for people who deserve a special mention and some recognition for their great work in the community. we will then assign special badges/ titles. an example could be if you're known for giving out great advice and help to new players you could earn the 'advisor badge' (just an example of course).

    this could also work if you win one of the flagship tournaments. say you win the open you could also then receive a nice shiny new badge to display on your profile and show off in the forums.

    of course i will give you all more information nearer the time....

    hopefully this has got you all as excited as me and wet a few appetites

    Pure class Rich. This will be another great addition to the community. The additional ideas about assigned rewards is brilliant. This is going to have people buzzing and really interested in the community.



    All I need now is a Community doctor think I am going down with flu :( boooooo.

    p.s. I see you are flying high in the Fantasy Football. I have sneaked up to 20th.

    I take it there will be an ''absolute nutter'' badge.................I'd like a badge, never had one before. Had wristbands with my name and medication written on but never a badge.

    yes they'd appear on your profile and underneath your name and post count to the left (next to each and every post you make)
