Status Quo at FlyerTalk

Hey guys, I'm a PlaneBusiness.com carry over and noticed a few things.

Once I hit 100 posts, do I become an "Elite" poster ? If so, do I get special posting priviledges that others don't, such as priority edit, priority graphics, etc?

And if i hit 1,000 posts, do I become a GOLD Star member and get a cute lil graphic put by my name ? ?

I'd think a site that is dedicated to us frequent flyers should *reward* those of us that frequent this site and make it a better community!!!

*smiles*

FT used to have three categories: Junior Member (which was later changed to "New Member"), Member and FT Evangelist.

I don't remember how many posts you had to have for each category. It was taken away a few months ago because people felt like the different categories were oppressing them or something like that.

As Doppy said, the levels have been removed.

Originally you were a Junior until your 30th post, then became a Member until the 250th. At the 251 mark, the level was changed to Evangelist.

I'm glad these levels went away...and I wish Post Count would also.

Welcome to FT, UAPremierExec.

I just found out a couple of weeks ago about the demise of the PlaneBusiness boards. What a shame. There was a lot of good info out there, but also a lot of rabble lately.

Just fyi, this forum is for posting FT get-togethers (or, on occasion, for collecting contributions for a sick board member), and for posting to the Who We All Are thread.

Cheers!

While I agree that we should all be viewed equally here, the post counts are useful especially in the Coupon Connection forum. Some people have been scamed before by new members simply coming on here to look for freebies.

I do like the post count also. It's like seeing the special badges/ribbons that some airline employees have after reaching a certian level or X years of service. Just like an airline employee with some kind of badge, I trust FTer advice more from people who have let's say 50+ posts than someone who has 1 post.
