1 up to 9 pilot fish
10 up to 24 sirens hunter
25 up to 99 great white shark
100 up to 249 lagoon predator
250 up to 499 star of the reef
500 up to 999 legend of the South Seas
1000 up to ? Great Master of corals

This would seem to be the appropriate thread for my 100th post...



Hey, I'm now a lagoon predator.

Was qbv8 referring to the fact that som eof the most influential members do not have 'peckers'?



Ranking systems are a feature of many forums - in a lot of cases they are turned off as some believe they encourage spamming for post count.
However as was mentioned earlier they can be useful to restrict 'pilot fish' activities and mean that members have to be around for a while to earn normal or better privilges.

Ah!! So that's what "pecking order" is! Those without peckers get to choose which pecker they want to be pecked with!

@Trucla: some people differentiate between forum and chatroom

[Sexychild68]

None of them, dear Cloé! It's the quality of posts, in my humble opinion!

[Cloé]

[Jackadict]

What is the real interest of rank ???
Is it important to be The First, The Biggest ?

since ranking is here it is nice to be able to get to the next rank even tho you do not get anything from it...i don't think it is important to be the first or the biggest...it is mostly about giving your opinion(s) to the subject matter at hand or to the reply...
