Bad opinion
"Ugh... so many Elder and Elite Online now, I little embarrassed, I'll wait until they leave and just few Elder and Elite remain, then I'll post something there."

I had considered putting more titles up really, but the fact that some of you simply spam like crazy to get the next title put me off doing so. For example, if I created a new rank for 2000 posts tonight, I can safely say over the next week or so the forums would suffer from uncontrolled spamming.

Notice that post count has absolutely nothing to do with how the FAKKU Staff sees you. None of the users with positions of responsibility in this forum have been recognised because of an insane post count. I myself was promoted to Admin status a year ago with barely over 100 posts, but almost every post I made was intelligent, contributed to the community, and well thought-out. In fact, I can say that quite a few of you with well over 1000 posts are despised by the more senior members of the community for rampant spamming.

I created the Elder rank to encourage posting, and not spamming. Unfortunately, I did not forsee that some of you would make approximately fifty posts a day in order to get the Elder ranking, which makes it lose its originally very special value. Many of the senior members have expressed their dislike for some of you, and us admins are not very pleased with the general deterioration of the quality of posts our forums has been experiencing for the past six months or so.

Until we implement daily posting limits and a nifty temporary ban system to improve the quality of posts in the forums, I will not consider making any more post-count-dependent titles. The idea of letting some of you have custom titles does not sit well with me either, because, again, of what some of you were like during your spamming period. It simply is not fair to those who get to the 1000 post mark in the way you were supposed to. There is a reason why it's called the Elder rank: it's supposed to take a LONG time to get there, not one month.
