Member Levels : Suggestions ?

[chrsplmr]

Due to the overwhelming growth experienced with the new Global forum and Asus's commitment to the
Members through this long term investment it has become necessary to add member levels to our forum.

Member levels help build community and encourage us to reach higher and go further than any of us
thought possible.

Since we have this opportunity to shape a piece of our futures MarshallR has asked what we would
consider worthy of the ROG traditions.

10 Levels : Suggestions ?

These levels of course reflect ROGforum experience by post count and not necessarily technical
expertise .. which is another level all together.
(Perhaps under Country could be TechLevel Stars. In the future.)

I leave it to the MemberShip .. I have only a few suggestions ..
1. ROG Noob 1-10 Until you have 'skin' in the game.

10. @Asus 10,000+ (After 10,000 posts, Asus would be crazy not to hire 'them'.)

Final Thoughts: Perhaps the levels should be 1-2000 (200-400-600 ect.)(whatever the Title) and then
from 2001-9,999 - a new 'custom title' button ... by acceptence of course. ie.. ROG Black&Red.
10,000+ ... @Asus .. or TeamROG ........... now thats a title.
Above all Titles should reflect the mutual respect we hold dear for each other.c.

See now this is a great idea mate, get everyone involved in putting forward some ideas, so "Our Community" is truly "ours". love the 10000 one, though I need a job now, not in another 9593 posts though on a note of sticking to the topic at hand, I really liked the imMortal Kombatant one that was mentioned in your Green Belt thread(i'm a fan of MK).

.. no rush .. Asus continues to grow by leaps and bounds .. whenever you get there . it will be right on time.
..ooops ... or was that +20,000 ? Guess we will find out .. together. ...
ROG Monk cracks me up ..
I dont know why ... it is .. hmmm .. wrongful .. but I like that one best .. hahhahaahah a... a ROG GuruMonk...

[Zygomorphic]

Yeah! This is a great idea...letting the community set its own levels. I love @Raja's "should be working here" At 10K posts, they probably should. Maybe:

10-25 ROG Air-cooler Head
25-50 ROG LovN2 Know

Wow, @chrsplmr, you can talk in real sentences! I didn't know that!

[HiVizMan]

Wow, @chrsplmr, you can talk in real sentences! I didn't know that!

bwahahahahaha that is priceless.

[MarshallR@ASUS]

It needs:

At least 10 levels
Up to 10k posts

[Myk SilentShadow]

It seems one thing we are so far united on MarshallR, is that we should get a job @ ASUS @10K posts :P

[Raja@ASUS]

I think incentive levels are fine, however, the post counter is not always a reflection of post quality. I have been member of many forums in the past where those with the highest post counts had real issues with other members, or just spammed threads where possible to accrue the count. So while I agree there is a need for incentive I believe that it should be tempered with focus on quality rather than quantity. Sadly post counters are quite often indicative of post quantity only.

Online forums and communities are at a point of saturation. Members of other communities are reluctant to leave but will frequent a new site IF it offers something they cannot find elsewhere. That means providing quality content, and quality insight in order to extract real growth.

Perhaps usage of the reputation system is a better option to show the quality of one's input. And that needs to be tied to an ASUS incentive - giveaways or prizes and such. Of course, none of that can happen unless there is requisite resource so it's just an idea, not a plan.
