Should Simple be Suspended

1. Why not a label next to the persons name as it is now i.e. Member, reflecting their status? "In training", "novice", "member" (ok Mr. Hambre..no jokes here!), etc. would indicate to others the level of the person and would indicate how one should respond.
2. The different categories could then be subject to different constraints from limited numbers of forums, limited number of posts per day all the way up to unrestricted access.
3. Make it a system where it works in both directions. Posting behavior can lead either up or down the ladder.

I think the problem with this is that some people generate more responses than others. The opposing side will likely give low scores to the person posting even if the discussion is rather interesting. Can you imagine Syamsu giving me a high rating for any post in any thread no matter what I say? Or Stephen? What I had in mind still leaves the decision up to the Admins i.e. who goes from debating newbie to old pro with the priveleges and responsibilities that moving up incurs...screw up once you get those privileges you get kicked back down by the Admins. The rating system by members might be a nice way of indicating to the Admins that a problem is arising.Hey Dan, your last post was really short..I give it a 2

No problem..I will use Stephen ben Yeshua H-D posterior plausibility analysis to raise the plausibility from 0.6 to 0.61 that Hambre gets a 1 for his next post for bringing up Kid Rock again.
