What do the stars mean?
 

I've used other BBS before and noticed that some have a ratings system that somehow indicates the "quality" of the poster. Does this have anything to do with the stars under our names or are the stars simply a measure of post count?

Thanks.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

its a measure of post count..it goes along with the title..like yours is "starting member".

if anyone has suggestions about better user titles, let me know.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

How about not using the nascar designations. How about something like (slant six,318,340,360,383,400,413,426 wedge,426 Hemi,440). Just a suggestion.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

ha! thats a good idea!

however, what is the proper hierarchy? i have a little 340 that will/can/has put a stompin' to many a big block...:)

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Been there done that! I was just thinking of a progression by displacement. I also left out a few because some of the younger guys might not know about some of the more "obscure" engines. 170 slantsix, 273, 318poly, 331,354 and 392-old hemis.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

how about we just do motors that were offered in the Challengers? i believe that 1970 offered the most engine options, so we could use this, and i have added the 74 360 as well. maybe ditch the 198 rom the deputy and just start with "slant six member"?

what i could also do, i have the title say "1970 Challenger Owner", or "Former 1970 Challenger Owner"...this way, those who have never been lucky enough to own a challenger would have an "engine title", and the owners would be recognized.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me! Quite appropriate, in fact.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Yep, sounds alright!

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

I like what I'm reading.

Thanks for the info about the stars too.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

so, the new rankings are up and running, with the above rankings added in! also, any challenger owners, past or present,please let me know!

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Second car at 17 years old, 73 Challenger 340. Owned for 17 years before letting it go. Just go ahead and kick me![:@]

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

do you want a ex-owner title? [8D]

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

I like the new rating. Good job!!

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

also, as the forum becomes more populated, we will have to spread out the rating titles a bit, since everyone would be the highest level....:)

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Yeah I reckon.[&o]

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

well, its up to you..if youre happy with your engnie title, you can keep that,...i just thought that it woudl be good to point out those who have been lucky enough to have an e-body!

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Go ahead and put it on there. I'll feel better about it when I'm driving the new one!


Hey how do I go about getting my avatar I've got over in DF? I'm kinda computer illiterate.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

ill take care of it.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

How many posts before 426 HEMI is reached?

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

I'd guess 1k.

???

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

It just seems like it takes no time to upgrade your member status. I'm already at 340 Six-Pack and I don't even have 100 yet.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

they arent exponential, but it each level gets bigger...

Slant Six Member-15
318 Member -30
340 Member-45
360 Member -60
340 Six Pack Member-90
383 Member-150
440 Member-300
440 Six Pack Member-500
426 Hemi Member-1000

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Okay thanks for explaining that. I'm still new at chat forums.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

Badstrat.

I'm a current 340 Challenger owner...hoping to add a '08 soon :)

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

SO the only way to get stars is to post? why cant we rate people? like people that come up with good pionts and discussions.

RE: What do the stars mean?
 

there used to be a way to do that with this software, ill have to check...the problem is that it turned into a flame war over the ratings.
