Or even "Rank"

I started a thread about this on another forum when I first noticed the rankings, out of curiosity. Now I wish I hadn't. But there have been many threads and posts covering the whole spectrum of feelings about it. I'm not going to get into the whys and wherefores of it anymore, as I said, but I just have to question, if people truly don't care, then why do so many continue to post and ridicule and question and challenge the whole concept? That's all...

The word alone...the behavior is already there, they just need the title to cap things off.

She said that the designations are helpful to people new to the Community and trying to get to know other posters. She also said that the designations are based on a mixture of actions, and that no one action will improve a person's contributor status. That's all she could tell me now, but said they will be posting something in the forums after the July 4th weekend.
Apparently the PTB have reasons for doing this, and hopefully the moderators will be able to post something to explain the reasoning behind it.
Hi Kittymom, has there been an update on this at all?

I assumed the Contribuor ranking/title was based solely on number of posts still attributed to the poster after the forum upgrade.
At least, other forums where I read and post have that kind of system. For example, 1-200 posts equal Newbie; 201-400 posts equal Regular, etc.
Nothing else would make sense to me, because it's not feasible to rank individual contributors (thousands of us!) based on subjective criteria. Jmo.

I just got a notice that I'm "esteemed." Since so much has been said about these designations and there's a sort of unfortunate undercurrent of shaming and mockery going on (even though we have no control over the so-called "ranking") I think the levels serve absolutely no purpose and I do wish the PTB would just remove them.
