I've Been Downgraded!!!

fortune — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 01:07:09 GMT

When the new forums were unfurled, I was surprised and proud to be named Super Contributor. Maybe it was because I've been a member for over 25 years. Maybe the techies could tell that not only was I beautiful, but also smart! It was clear that all the moderators liked me. . . Until. . . I logged in several days ago and found out that I had been downgraded from a Super Contributor to a Valued Contributor!!

I could tell that this was the beginning of a down slide to obscurity. Who knows now when the next demotion will be announced--Regular Contributor. Or the next fall from grace to Irritating Contributor. I can see it now--the We Don't Want You Here Anymore Contributor.

Well, if you don't see me after this post, you'll know that the worst has happened!!! It's been nice knowing all of you. . .

Consider it a compliment as it has been boring as heck around here lately.

how do you know that's a downgrade? I've never seen these titles defined anywhere and often wonder what they mean and what makes a contributor trusted over super, etc.

Downgraded? Seriously, do you really give a hoot? I could care less if THEY "downgraded" me. So what, who cares?

Honey, you got a PROMOTION!

Next up is "Respected" and then "Esteemed"

After that they make you a moderator, I guess.

I guess I felt that if they were going to change my status, they would go to Super Dooper Contributor! Other than that, your guess is as good as mine!!

I'd rather be "of value" to an organization! Congratulation, I think you are ascending .... and now I'm wondering what is next ..... perhaps the words: Phenomenal or Stupendous!

Valued is an upgrade.

OMG "Esteemed"? Really? You mean I have something to strive for...? Who knew...

The word 'Stupendous' always sounds like an insult (to me). I'll have to look it up!

OMG... and now I see there's an "Exalted" category... That is too funny... Then what, the Grand Poobah of Contributers, at which point you're no longer moderated... and 'challenging the moderation' is acceptable...?

Nah, you get you own ignore button if you make it to exalted.
