See I believe we've tried the character counter method. and a few other methods.
the problem we encounter is people posting just to increase their numbers.
we've had people dividing up a single post into strings of posts just to make post numbers higher.
we've had people write pointless comments just to get them higher.
none of these methods are able to measure the "quality" of the posts, only the quantity.
I find it fair that the qualifiers are chosen by the Guru.
Let's be honest, if I wasn't putting any effort into the forums, i wouldn't get to participate myself. (let alone i'd be kicked out of this cool position with "moderator" written under my name)
believe me, if you just keep posting, it doesn't have to be that many, even 1 or 2 a day is ok as long as it's interesting and helpful to all of the members. then you are earning yourself a place.
I don't see why you'd be worried benjahuna, posts like this one you just made has quality in it. (hence you deserve this long reply by me).
i think you get the point, it's not that hard!
and i'm certain that it's a fairer way.
