I think we are low on available metals to base post frequency/number on, and I fear that some of the members may be becoming sullen because they can only reach "Plutonium" as a member status for frequently flaming and/or posting 2 word replys, thus causing a power vacume at the top....
Though I believe it would be a mistake to completly replace the current metal model , I do believe the addition of a few more elements/compounds would compliment our ability to gauge other members expertise,...(and our own) on any topic falling within the scope of this game, and military history in general.
Also I would like to see the addition of "Dirt", "pewter" and/or "pondscum" so that new members could more readily be made to understand that the actual content of thier posts is less important than the shear number of irelivent posts they can occur over a short period of time by flaming, or otherwise degrading other members.
In closing, I myself was only recently made to understand that because of my lowly status I should shut the hell up, and let the real experts debate the topics.
thanx
