Thank god for Ziroc! As some of you know from my e-mails, I have aired my concern about the crap some people have posted to achieve recognition in the form of stars. True recognition comes by gaining respect by the quality of posts, not quantity. This can be spamming, when it is fun and stimulating or more serious, as well as helping out in the general forum, which is where we all met in the first place. I spam as much as anyone, but I try to help in the question forum and I hope my spamming is enjoyed by others and/or provokes interesting discussion. It is intresting to note, that the two people who have most posts are widely different in personality and post types, yet both are important to the forum. Obviously one of those is Memnoch, who I admire and respect greatly for his wisdom and desire to help his neighbour as well as his humour. The other is CloudBringer, who as she admits, does not help on the other forum as she has yet to finish the game or finds posts answered already. When she spams however, her pots are fun to read and stimulate others to respond in kind. She can also be extremely caring to others. I would hate to lose either, as the board would suffer. I say this in their defence, in case anyone thinks that I refer to them. The ones I refer to, know who they are. I am sure that the novelty of ranks will soon subside, but in the meantime lets not forget why we are here, that is to help others and enjoy intelligent discussion. If I seem overly harsh, its because I have been trying to persuade 2 friends not to leave this forum, because of the pointless spamming. Lets enjoy the spamming, but remember lets go for quality and not quantity.
