Title: Why split the community?
Post by: Squire on March 07, 2008, 04:12:34 AM: I like the new "Gold Member BB" section, but im worried this might cause some divisions down the road, after all, not everbody posts as often, you know, school and work ect. Is it reasonable to penalise folks just because they dont have as many posts?

...btw, some cool preview shots of some upcoming maps and a certain 4-engined heavy. :aok

Post by: Ghosth on March 07, 2008, 07:29:38 AM: Sorry Squire but I don't see the community being split because your copper and I'm platinium.

Could be wrong, but I kinda doubt it.

What is the significance of the star ratings? And how are people being "penalized"? I don't think we get credit card miles for posting this crap on here ....do we?

1 post closer to platinumville :rolleyes:

Post by: FrodeMk3 on March 07, 2008, 01:30:32 PM: The only real downside I see is someone spamming the boards' to try to get their rank up. Other than that, The mods' will still be the only ones to wield a PNG stick, and members' will be the only ones' allowed to post.

Post by: Ghastly on March 07, 2008, 04:01:13 PM: It's going to be a really REALY bad idea if the intent is that there is going to be information that's only made available to those members with higher post counts...

Title: Re: Why split the community?
Post by: Tilt on March 08, 2008, 02:19:23 AM: I think this can be set such that the honour (gold/platinum etc) can be what ever HTC wants.......... from new poster to "old fart" via various other descriptors.

Post by: FrodeMk3 on March 08, 2008, 02:32:09 AM: Being a military-based game, it's kinda funny that HTC didn't set it up by a rank system, I.E. cadet, Flying seargeant, pilot officer, Luietenant, Captain, Major, etc.
