Showing more info about a person's forum activity is a good idea. And Jaffa's proposal makes a lot of sense (from the perspective of maemo.org). But I think a person's karma or ranking on the forum should continue to be determined only by their contributions to the forum, and not by their contributions to maemo.org at large. Just my opinion.

the forum *will* be on maemo.org at large.
so contributions to the planet and to the wiki and to the projects should all go in together.
but I feel it should not be displayed and used on the forum.

within a forum having a hierarchy feels wrong.
it doesnt matter how much good a person has done elsewhere if hes trolling in a particular thread, or if an utter newbie comes up with an utterly amazing comment.

How about a member level system based upon the Beaufort Scale. The Maemo releases are named after winds. The Beaufort scale measures wind at sea.

The levels on another board I frequent were based on humorous versions of winds. They were:

Fresh Breeze 0
Familiar Wind 100
Constant Storm 500
Stale Wind 1000
Historic Gale 2000
Crusty Puff 3000
Omnipotent Gust 4000
Wild Windshear 5000
Jehovah's Exhalation 6000
Unceasing Huff-n-Puff 7000
Old Fart 8000
Wafting Whiff 9000
Tiny Typhoon 10000+

Well, you said you wanted humour!

maybe some posts/thanks ratio? Like
0 - "flamer"
0.2 - "can help"
0.5 - "will be glad to help"
1 - "eagle-eye"
and so on.

Only valid if the Thanks had been present since the forum was opened, which they haven't been. Besides, I'm not looking for any sort of meaningful ranking metric (that's what the maemo.org karma is for), just something silly to replace the current scale we have now.

Hey, I am a senior member and I don't know squat. I just accidentally delete my clone boot getting confuse over these device names. "Sigh", I worked so hard on the clone boot.
