Man, that is a long way up, are there any elevators in this place, i am in a hurry.

Didn't we once have badges under our names briefly........ I remember a lot of discussion about that some years ago.

Hey DoorTech...........

I joined back in 06 then the puter I had at the time got replaced (still working back then) by a slightly newer model. It was some time before I got back on the net and back into skinning. I was an Apprentice back them. When I made Master Apprentice it damn near bowled me over. I said I was a real person again. I think that was in 2010. Took me from then until now to make Journeyman. To be honest, as proud as I am of my rank, it isn't the end all and be all. What makes me proud for real is being a member here of any rank. As for Master....I've got a long ways to go before that and I'm in no hurry. I look at the work the Masters create and I am in awe of some. If I get half as good as them I will consider that an accomplishment. WC Masters rock!! 

 Badges, We don't need no stinking badges! Sorry, famous movie line.

Uvah, just shut up , Leave me alone, I will cry if I want to, its my party, you would cry to, if it happened to you. Good song.

I know I still suck at skinning, but I am at my greatest level of suckiness yet, so I am improving, am I correct?

 Those are called wrinkles, they come from old age and partying to much.

I am here all day, I plan on making my day off fun for me, not so much for everyone else,LOL,Be warned.

I kind of like the rankings unfortunately there is no specific criteria to use for one to monitor their progression, meaning there's an arbitrary factor of personalities that effect people's promotions. I know of three persons that had been passed over for promotions just because they pissed someone off.

dang Jim you had to rub it in, I've been here for 10 years and am just a master apprentice. Oh, right, see above.

Hey Fred! Great to see you!!!   

dt.... I was laughing at the first part of this sentence...not the "so I am improving, am I " part!! Just wanted to clarify, after I reread my post, it can be taken wrong!  

FRED!

Great to see you!

Say...I've got some snow to clear...

I think a badge with the members rank is a good idea.  If I remember correctly, this was something that has been discussed before, but not sure of the decisions made.

Um.....hmmmmm......................................................lame!

Thanks for the warning. I took off today also.

It's apparent many here think this is valable information to be visable. You mentione that it has been discussed before but not sure of a decisions. Like with other things mentioned some won't care what decision is made and some will but there is never or very seldom any follow up to these discussions with a final answer. Even if the final result didn't make everyone happy I believe there should be one given to some of these questions. Some things asked just don't require any answer and just best to let die so to speak. Questions such as this I feel it would be nice to give an answer as to something like "We feel it's not neccesary to make this change" or "This is a qood suggestion and we are going to fix this situation"

You don't know that is why. Only the mods know why.

As RedneckDude said only the mod could answer that and it isn't going to happen in this thread. 

Were those three persons doing or saying things on the site that may have been in violation of the TOS being the reason for calling attention to their selves? 

Um...I doubt that.

If someone is not promoted due to their "behavior", that individual person already knows it because usual either myself or Jafo (usually him) has had contact with that person.

You have implied in other threads that there is some personal vendetta against users who aren't promoted, and I can tell you with certain that is false.

Promotions are based on much more than just skinning ability.

If skinning ability was the only factor, I would not be a Master, trust me.

I’ve always thought promotions were based on the person overall. Are they progressing, are they active in the community, basically do they contribute to making WinCustomize a better place. I think attitude should play a part as it is a part of the person.

I hope they give us badges or whatever, I’m an apprentice and proud of it. I’ll work on getting promoted and when I’m ready it’ll happen but for me making apprentice was the big one, it meant I was accepted in the skinning community.

It's more about community and attitude than talent and that is a good thing.......... or I'd still be a Citizen.
