Really, when you have trolled these forms for long enough, you know who are the senior members.
What we need is some admins and mods to help out!

The labels aren't useful for anything but fun, that's why I'm proposing changing them.Either way, the apathy line isn't behind the "Post Reply" button. . . .

Perhaps, since a high post count here likely indicates some dedication to miniature computing devices, we should turn the normal forum title progression style on its head. We could have people labeled with increasingly small/less significant titles as their post counts grow. It should be clear no one should take the veterans too seriously if they're all "dust motes", "pocket lint", or whatnot.

Personally, I'm most siding with the ideas of dropping it altogether, and having the post headings based on the pervasive maemo.org user header.

I regard categories based on post count as being redundant of post count (we can easily see who has >100, etc).
I would rather have some useful descriptive information. Possibly, self-selection of a category reflective of the user's interest in Maemo - "app developer", "user", "just visiting", "tablet devotee", etc.

I say we track user agents an grant higher levels to those who post here via their tablets -- anyone who has the patience to do that should be rewarded.

What about 5 categories:
- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Yellow
- Orange
Thresholds to be assigned semi-randomly. They're abstract & meaningless, let's make them so :-)

I would have backed the "remove titles entirely" crowd except that I anticipate an influx of new users once that Maemo 5 lead device goes on sale. Furthermore, I expect quite a number of those new users will have frequented other Internet forums, and I can just see a "Here's an idea, let's add titles" thread taking off eight months from now.
