Since so many people have passed the 1000 mark (which honestly we didn't expect anyone to) and I've been pm'd by at least 7 people who want custom ranks, use this thread to come up with a new ranks for the following:
2000 posts
3000 posts
4000 posts
Also regarding some sort of special rank for persons who currently have "A Hot HungAngel" status when they surpass a certain post count, sorry - that's just not possible at this time.
Hi NYCe,Quote:

For 4,000 posts - rank - CTE 4th class or gold
For 5,000 posts - rank - CTM = Certified Tranny Master or Kneel Suckers
Nice and simple. What do you think?

Just the other day this topic came up. I am not sure if you were
able to peruse the posts relative to it.
Thus for your edification I will re-post, what I feel are some cogent
points.
My levity notwithstanding in them I feel that they are relevant to the
present discussion.
I apologize if you are others have already read them, however I feel
that they are germane to this matter.
I actually had given that some thought as well.
For the women, what of the girl who doesn't want to be a 'Hung'
Hot Angel. As we have discussed ad nauseum, ad infinitum
many transwomen are not particularly happy with their penises.
And may not wanted to be reminded of what is between their
legs every time they post.
Also it seems that even once a girl goes past 1000 posts she still
is a 'Hot hung Angel'. I feel that there should be additional
designations availible for her as well.
NYCE, being the kewl dude that he is, will if you ask nicely change
your designation. (NYCE, you are so cool, please Daddy, can we go
half on a baby?)
And getting to CTE, or any advanced standing shouldn't be done
by posting; yup, I'd hit it, ditto, Right On, Co-sign, what he said, etc.
It should be based on quality as well as quantity. Now you don't
have to write a fuc$&@* treatise like I do with your posts, but
bring something to the table if you want to sit there.
As to me, when I reach 1000, I have been promised that I will
no longer be President Of IPOWA, but Empress Of The Known
Universe.

Legend, I respectfully beg to differ with you.Quote:

I feel that it is our duty to impart what knowledge we have to

Hopefully by the time a person reaches CTE status they are
versed in the area of transsexualism.
To some, their understanding of transgenderism is limited to
ogling dick pictures. To others they are concerned about the
psychology, biology, endocrinology, laws, etc, that impacts a
transpersons life.
Thus CTE, or any other advanced designation should be earned
based upon merit, not just staying awake in class.
By no means do I think that a person should have each of theirQuote:

Without being redundant, there are those for whom being a
CTE is but a worthless title on an forum. However I feel that
it can be a position that literallly can change lives.
The information garnered here can foster better relationships
between the genders, and a greater understanding of trans-issues
by women and men alike.
Which translates into a quality of life if not in some instances
life or death matter.

Before we think about new ranks, can anyone tell me where the existing ranks begin? Just wondering when I will get promoted to Junior Poster.

I agree with peggygee regarding the "quality vs quantity" debate.
Does anyone remember when we didn't have ranks?
Honestly does anybody really think i'm a CTE probably not and i can think of other guys who shouldn't even have that CTE title based on their post not saying all my post are deep i don't argue with people just to get my post count up or post non-stop threads about sample clips.If we are gonna really buy into that title system then it should reflect each individuality persona.But i do agree with you titles should be earned and not becuase of their post count.Quote:

All the members get a kick out of it, and it's actually kind of fun to have a roadmap.
To me, this could be an opportunity to introduce a little wit, while simultaneously being instructive. For the guys, things like 'noob', 'asking redundant questions', 'typing one handed', ' to, I don't know, maybe becoming smoother wif de ladies, you scenesters can think of some pithy remarks, all the way to humorous ones for the megaposters, like 'never sleeps'. For the ladies, humor about noob status might not fly...like 'buying waxing kit at the self checkout line', but again, maybe the angels could have some appropriate, knowledgeable and gently humorous thngs to say. Like a lot of my writing, this idea is kind of involved, but could be worked out rather quickly, it would be fun to do, and fun for the members.

Please think before you answer. You could very well end up writing your way into a job offer.

Peer review is often used in conferring advancedQuote:

For other uses, see Peer review (disambiguation).
Peer review (known as refereeing in some academic
fields) is a process of subjecting an author's scholarly
work or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts
in the field. It is used primarily by editors to select and
to screen submitted manuscripts, and by funding agencies,
to decide the awarding of grants.
The peer review process aims to make authors meet the
standards of their discipline, and of science in general.
Publications and awards that have not undergone peer review
are likely to be regarded with suspicion by scholars and professionals
in many fields. Even refereed journals, however, can contain errors.
Of course we here at HA aren't talking about scholarly
contributions, but rather how has a member
contributed to the betterment of the forum, and the
transcommunity.
How about "Suspected Pic Collector" for those of us who post suspiciously low and infrequently enough yet have been members for a long time and know what's up?Quote:

Maybe we should just have exams...
Hi Peggy,
Many thanks for your valued input.
Your mention of peer review sparked off something in my memory.
I've seen, on other forums, an accolade (points) system where the merit, or lack thereof, of a particular post is decided on by the other members. They then, individually, award an exalt (+1 point) or smite (-1 point) to the poster.
Like all systems, it's open to abuse by those members who are conducting vendettas against other members. But it is an alternative to the present system.
It could also be considered as "thinking outside the box".
What do you think?

That would be a disaster on this board. I run an SMF forum with that system, and it only works in an environment that isn't volatile.Quote:

It would never work, not least in the Politics Forum where we'd end up smiting each other to hell all day long. But I do think though that the CTE designation is limited and agree that it doesn't reflect the quality of the posts. Also, I agree that something without the word Tranny in it might be seen as preferable.Quote:
