Does level, member group, etc. mean anything to you?

[cr47t]

Just thought I would post this for my 1500th post in the count. Do the stars by your posts, member groups, etc. mean anything to you? Why or why not? Discuss.

[Tormented]

I would say that it used to showcases your knowledge of the site and your experience with it's members but I think it's become vastly irrelevant now.

[a bad post]

Honestly I still use it when gauging whether or not to join an RP just because newer members tend to write less interesting RPs, and tend to have more difficult time running them

[Simping For Hina]

Nah.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Night's Watch is a group of men who have committed serious mistakes in life, and then consigned to their solitude and anger

 

So yes, it's strangely fitting

[~British Soul~]

I remember joining the Night's Watch once, back when I knew next to funk all about it (regarding its lore in GoT).

 

But yah, I generally don't give a sheet about level now tbph.

YES! I absolutely love my member group, I got it for guessing all the monsters in the Halloween event last year. Xyz monsters are cool and I use them in almost every deck! (Although I do wish I was a better Rank. Rank 5 is pretty boring).

[UltimateIRS]

they mean i'm not allowed to say the fuck word

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

My next post will be my 6000th, and tbh it really makes no difference.

 

I quite enjoy my member group, as it was well-earned, at least in my eyes.

[Snatch Steal]

I'd say it's important because it shows how long you've spent on the forum. Take a kid who's just a Member and compare him to someone with a custom member group, and you'll immediately know who is or was more devoted.

Considering I voted for Opalmoon (wherever she is these days) to be a moderator when she was at like 500-600 posts if not less... no, I dont think it matters in most sections. Inside CC yes though because holy sh** site name and expectations of young'ns to visit there.

[mitchermitcher]

It's worthless. Good for a bit of customizing yourself to look more unique but otherwise no. There are a fair amount of people with lots of stars that I do not particularly respect more than the usual mob and there are new people(although extremely rare now) who can turn out to be a really interesting member. The level just doesn't tell me enough.

[Rapidfire]

When I see the 5 stars it reminds me to skir skir bc I spent way too much of my time on here when I was 14 fighting the #system.

Once you hit 5000 posts, I'll modify your logo to be a Rank 6 (but that's a long way coming). As much as it would be less of a pain to replace the standard Level stars with Ranks, I don't think IP.Boards can do that.

For the most part, I don't really think about my user level and stuff. Yeah, I'm technically a mod right now, but I still class myself as a Level 7 member (well, 32,700+ posts over a span of 8 years, give/take some time off from my hiatus). Not really going to hit the 40K marker for a while (though I do keep 1K increments as I go up; shown with milestone cards in CC.)

 

I forgot if I even did the milestone thing before I left; don't think I did or was for 100 post increments (at which time, posting was several times faster). 

[Darj]

One of my YCM goals is to reach the Legendary Member group since I have been around for a while and joined long ago, so I want to at least accomplish that xD

So yeah, it matters to me in that sense, I guess.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Expect to be judged accordingly.

 

Of course not, be yourself everyone started somewhere. ^____^

How is Raven?  You still talk to her?

 

And no, I don't think levels or post count mean much.  Except in RP.  There, they mean everything.

[Shradow]

I like having lots of stars, I guess, it just looks nice.

[Captain Murphy ☆]

i feel like a loser when i see a user who hasn't been here as long as me with more stars than me. :(

Oddly enough she's one of the only oldies that I could be considered friends (or at least acquaintances) with that I don't have regular contact with or at least a means to talk to. So no, sadly. Hope she's doing great and all that.

[Tinkerer]

Meh, not really. But then again I post from mobile more often than not so I don't really see anyone's post count/stars/member groups

[Night]

only 2 stars

For me, levels, member groups and title has it's own meanings that is inevitable.

• Level or stars shows how much I have contributed to this site and gives me motivation to strive for the highest possible level, making the journey meaningful. The more stars, the better it is (and more shiny it is). It also shows that you've experienced more with the site
• While member groups are unique and distinct to each other, with their own flavor, color, and style. Well, I'd like to be on a distinct "Musical" member group to show my interest in music and give a special impression to it....
• Titles are also fun to tamper with since it has almost no limit of creativity and it gives special acknowledgement to its holder....

[Simping For Hina]

Night's member title is my name. I think that says enough.

[ENMaker]

Makes no difference once you get past 10 posts. Below that you are subhuman. I like having this group, though I miss the 5 million points that were stolen from me by the embittered immigrant Aix.
