I'm going to save that one however...for later use :D

That's okay then - it was after 5.

If you need a drink, I have the perfect drink that will keep this thread on topic:

Postum.

What we need to do is enhance our program.

This is what I propose.

The review board will still be in place, each post will be reviewed and depending on the merits of the post, be a qualifying post (QP), or a normal post (NP). for each 10 QP's you get one reputation point (RP)

But let's take this further.

1,000 QP's in a year, you reach Silver status, wich means you get 25% bonus RP's
2,500 QP's in a year, you reach Gold status, wich means you get 50% bonus RP's
5,000 QP's in a year, you reach Platinum status, wich means you get 100% bonus RP's, and a no-ad subscription to FT.

No-ad subscriptions will be given at a discounted rate to Silver and Gold members.

Of course, your name in your profile will be changed to match the color of your status, so everyone can see at a glance what level of membership you have :cool:

If you reach 1,000,000 RP's, you are given silver status for life, 2,000,000 RP's you are given Gold

If you buy 10 subscriptions to InsideFlyer you get complimentary Silver status for one year.

Each level will get a new luggage tag with the color of their status. 1MM members get the Diamond tag, and 2MM get the black tag.

It's all pretty simple ;)

Good thinking! Once you've fully completed repeating yourself in the travel forums, start over in OMNI! :p

Sorry, that link is bad so I didn't get your jab/joke. :(

This could quite possibly be the most thought you've ever put into a post!

;)

BTW - I agree with a few of y'all.

Don't really care so much about total post count, as it can be skewed. Could have some marketing value vis-a-vis advertising for the site owner, but not that important to me.

However, what I do occasionally look at is average posts-per-day. When I see someone with what in my view is an overly high PPD, I wonder how much travelling they can really be doing if they have the time to be on FT so much.

Sort of creates its own filter, doesn't it....

Sadly enough, yes ;)

Actually, I think that there are quite a few FTers who post more frequently when they are away from home/the office, stuck in airport lounge or hotel somewhere with time to kill.

Being stuck in boring meetings I often tune into FT and post stuff.

But don't either of you ever find yourself for a business day, or even weekend day, unable or too occupied to post?

On average 200k miles per year. Does that answer your question? :)

I am pretty well connected so getting online is never an issue.

No snifflies, c-pete. Just pretend that the link isn't there. I can go back and edit it out if you're still confused.

My bad.
