WKM's working sources for free gear behind the scenes

I'm not active enough here to have much a say on this but do find these discussions interesting re status issues.

IMO, there is no perfect system. I'm active on a few boards and none of them have really "good" ways of distinguishing knowledgeable members from others despite different approaches to the problem.
Yes, classifying everyone under the same banner suggests they are all of equal value (this is false) BUT...at the same time, it actually forces members to focus on the quality of the post, rather than the likes/years/status of the person making the post. This is a good thing. I've had guys dismiss/agree with my posts purely because of my status on a board - both are stupid approaches to evaluating information.

I would suggest allowing all members to be able to search through previous posts/threads made by others. This is currently limited once you restrict access to who can view your profile and, frankly, I don't really know why.
It's an easy way of researching members, finding out if they can be trusted, if they have valuable information to share and so on. Bring that back and then you have a game changer - everyone might have the same "status" but the post history would quickly highlight the truly valuable members.

Click a members name and then click the number next to messages. You'll be able to see all posts, even if they've set there preferences to private.
 
I'm not 275 cut but I'm still big.

You really believe that the noob should have the same status that others who have been here?

You could be correct. I could be small, but fuck anyone here who says I can't be trusted. That is the difference burr.

So, how about the proposal to somehow distinguish the long time contributors, such as yourself, from the rest by having say, a golden frame around your avatar or "honorable member" status for those that have x number of years of service?

i don't think that's too much to ask of MB, and i think it's fitting for those that have put in the time.
 
To start, why not just increase the number of likes/posts/time it takes to become a WKM and see how that works? The current criteria for WKM status is so ridiculously low it's made the title into a joke.

This is a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The problem has always been the weak criteria to achieve WKM and that been known for years.

Many members don't care about recognition but a lot do. This was a dramatic move that, without that incentive to post, is almost certain to lead to a decline in posting volume.

At the very least, @Millard Baker, there's should have been a formal poll taken before a decision like this was made.

It's a work in progress. It's broken at the moment.
 
Who cares about time?
Case in point:
Mindlesswork
The dude is a mouth piece short of full blown retard
