Yes Jim, I do.

Spencer thank you for acknowledging the point that I was trying to make.

My thoughts about that is that as long as one does not violate the TOS agreement then their behavior is acceptable and should not be a negative part of the promotion process just because of disagreement.

IMHO, the shoe fits, wear it proudly.

Reading minds these days? Wow.

He didn't validate your point.  "A person's behavior" and "pissed someone off" is not necessarily the same thing.

Wrong again.

If your behavior is enough that you have to be spoken to repeatedly, visitored, etc. that will affect things. The TOS might be the official legal site rules, but they don't cover everything.

You've been going on about this for a while. I'd leave the grand conspiracies alone with the tin foil hats.

I get that, honest.

Even the most frustratingly annoying...who had a penchant for inserting his foot every time a promotion was imminent managed to 'get it right' and make the grade.

No-one holds grudges...no-one is prejudiced.  If and when 'annoying' becomes 'disruptive' for the site/community as a whole and there is no sign of improvement the person is simply removed.

Even then there has been occasion where the removal was reversed.

Anyway....yes, the idea was mooted some time ago....but I believe it coincided with staff changes and was lost in transit...

What is this citizen term.

I am not looking for a promotion either, I am where I am, just curious why this term, Jafo mentioned it earlier to me in a different post.

Rule #1 -  RTFM

Rule #2 - there IS no Rule #2 ....

That's good because you don't find a promotion, it finds you.

Hi Fred!

I could swear we had those (JM, MA, Master...) at one point in the past.

I know we did back when you could change the site theme.....but it was sir & lady, etc

This here thread has gone kinda off topic, so I'd like to take a monent of silence to greive it's passing...........           

Seriously, I would like to point out that, Island Dog and Jafo amongst others, have agreed that something in the way of showing one's rank would be nice.

So, to the powers that be, whoever you are, please give us this small token.            

Let me get this straight RnD, you are willing for everyone that comes to the site to find out how rank you are?  Interesting.                  

All I can say is if your promoted...that should be enough and your work should reflect it. I came here to skin...and being promoted to something wasn't even a consideration. Sure it's nice...but the whole point of being here was to skin.

I agree, Steve. The request isn't for me, or you. It is requested so that IF someone wants to know someone else's rank, which happens a lot, they could easily know.

Hell, if we hide the rankings, no one would know about them and no one would aspire to be promoted, etc, etc, so on and so forth.

It is a needed thing, even if some don't think they need it.

This thread isn't about me wanting MY rank to be shown. It's about me, or someone else, wanting a way to know what someone else's rank is. If they don't have a site, you don't know their rank.

Suppose I want to get back into skinner spotlights. I'd need to know a person's rank.

PM them and ask them, you might say?

Well, we all know PMs go weeks waiting to be read.

Again, it is needed by some. Maybe not by you.

I hear what your saying...well...maybe not hear...but when I see someones creation...I rank them based on that...the creation speaks volumes. There are some Masters here that don't really skin everything in a skin...which is what I'm used to seeing. When I do a Winstep theme for someone I see what's under the hood and not just the surface,,,and every little thing that's been skinned...and the more they do the more they deserve the title IMHO. So although the title may be nice to have...it doesn't necessarily reflect the creation.

Do you ever get to that point where you want to comment and your mind is a blank? How strange!

I would like 2 see everyone's rank worn like a badge by their avatar. That would be great.  

I think she means it.

I appreciate that Steve, and again, you're correct, in your point.

But you seem to be missing the point of this thread. This isn't about how you rank someone. It isn't about how Jafo ranks someone.

It's not about someone's work, quality or quantity. It's about everyone else being able to know your rank, mine, whom ever. Sometimes that information is just needed. You may not care, but some do.

And, I'm sure there are people who are proud of their title, as well as their work, and want to show their pride.

And as we know, there is MUCH more to being promoted (having a title) than your art. Rank isn't based solely on graphics work. There are masters who have never skinned, or skinned very little. ( I won't name names)

Interesting.

I'm curious how scratch and sniff would work through the internet.

good to see ya back Po
