Tho you do beat me in post/likes ratio. So maybe you're worthy of a proper extinguishment. I vote yes with my non-existent voting powers and authority.

gazisere Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I remember being determined to get a Distinguished Member ranking on this forum, however I think my determination got in the way of my ability to actually be an active, creative and engaging member of the community. If I remember correctly, the first step was getting a "negative warning" from a Moderator.... A first step that I never managed to achieve!

Yuanrang Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 To be a bit frank, I think the entire "negative warning" part was a bit sketchy, as it was just a bad system too open for nepotism and without any real guidelines. I very rarely gave out negative warnings, because I felt confused as to what was a good enough reason to make you go from 0 to -1. On the other hand, I like the idea in the sense that it is an acknowledgement of standing and influence, rather than popularity. It is probably not much of a surprise that the DM rank existed solely to find candidates for further promotions, and in general, alert the community to what we deemed the standard to be. In an ideal world, I would have liked to see more -1's though, and even -2's. I do not think we ever went past -4, and only 2 or 3 of us ever attained that. Ideally, we should have used the whole scale up to -7. ...too bad the Staff (and to some extent DMs) became as complacent as the Jedi Council in the last days of the Republic. The moment that Staff and DMs ended up quitting RuneScape in large numbers, it marked the beginning of a slow and unnecessary suffocation, with little progress or evolution to be able to adapt to a changing RuneScape.

gazisere Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I did like the negative reputation system - however, I guess I was too young to really consider any defined parameters, guidelines or even consider any nepotism that may have came into play! Yes, I think it should have been given out more often to be honest but still be quite restricted with promotions to DM. I believe it would have rewarded members and encouraged activity, although with the presence of social media now - I think it was only a matter of time before activity levels completely dropped.

I have a negative warn and was a distinguished member which is about the biggest indictment of the entire system as I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobend Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 When I was asked to be a distinguished member I was really confused and asked for a recount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
