i look around the forum, and what do i see? people who joined last month who have a higher "rank" than me. Not that i care about rank, but its kinda sad when someone new has more posts than a 1 year veteran. Heres an example:

Registration Date July 16 2002,19:38
Last Profile Update Dec. 11 2002,21:11
Post Average 10.63 posts per day
Member Level: Super Advanced Members

notice anything wrong there? there is NO excuse to average 10 posts per day. Guys, we really dont care about rank. TarkanX is justified in having over 2000 posts; someone who joined 3 months ago is NOT.

In fact, because of this, i would like to ask that Rank be COMPLETLY REMOVED, OR, structured so that an avg. post per day over 7 LOWERS your rank.

This is completely out of control. And I also feel that if nothing else changes, then the posts in Random Insanity should be treated differently than the ones in XMvsSF Forum.

Just so you guys know, i feel that ideal is between .4 and 3.5 posts per day. Less is ok if you are the quiet type, a LITTLE more is fine as long as you're a respected member who helps people out, but higher than 6 per day and you're just spamming.
