VARIOUS CONTRIBUTOR LEVELS

Shanus — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 00:54:52 GMT

I've noticed under the names of posters there are different "levels" of contributors. What do they mean?

@Shanus Truthfully, we don't know but they surely sound good.

Put on your cyber glasses Melania. No one in this thread has typed in CAPS.

OOPS! I had to put on my cyber glasses. The topic is in CAPS.

Caps mean shouting? Thought you use caps to for the title of your post (if you want) or in your post to emphasize a word.

It rewards quantity. It's one of the motivational rewards built into the system to encourage posters to continue to return and continue to post.

It's goad to motivate people to rack up an ever higher number of posts, to gain a

"higher rank".

Your "rank" changes as you hit setpoints in your number of posts.

These designations aren't visible to anyone using the mobile view. That's a much more tidy setting.

@Shanus Use caps in your title if you wish. However, if you use them in the body of your post, you'll never be "honored" as I am.

Whether honored, respected, valued, trusted or esteemed . . . by whom?

The levels are assigned in regard to the number of poast you have made

All caps in the title is no less shouting than when in the body of the post.

IMO all caps in the title is fine if it is a warning or there is some urgency to information provided but for routine inquiries or "chatty" type threads I take all caps as either shouting or announcing that the poster's thread is more important than other threads.

@Kachina624 With all due respect, Your Honored, I've looked through various forums and there are many caps used in titles, I assume to get the readers' attention that it's a new or different post. I still don't understand the caps mean shouting thing. That's just the way I write...my personal style of writing. I use "..." a lot instead of ending a sentence or using a comma & I also use ", ( ), and ! . If the black arrow is on the keyboard, I felt free to use it not just to begin a sentence or the 1st letter of a proper name. Let's loosen up a little. I have absolutely nothing to shout about. I'm enjoying reading and writing posts and giving hearts where due. That's it. No hidden agendas.
