[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Grimaldus Hey daz, is this another idea to put a halt to alternate accounts by giving one account some sort of value?[/quote]Perhaps unintentionally, yes. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Aang the Avatar One reason I like Bungie over all the other forums because it's free of all that over complicated, unnecessary BS like custom titles, Avatars, liking posts, etc. let's keep it that way. [/quote]I agree; avatars are pretty unnecessary. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] L00 If they're "better" by this definition, won't they be recognized anyway? Or by recognized, did you mean some form of rewarded as well?[/quote]Kind of like an award, but just a way of indicating to others who may not have seen the member before (ie. new users) that he/she has been deemed a good role model for the community for others to look up to (and as a good source of information - especially about the site). [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mind Reaper 771 And yet everyone else's thoughts and opinions are just glazed over like they aren't even there, which [i]will[/i] happen, as it already does?[/quote]That doesn't mean they will go unread. Consider it this way: if someone who has consistently proven themselves to have good/right answers, why shouldn't those be prominently displayed, especially when asking a simple question? Others' posts will still be there and can be read. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mind Reaper 771 How is that fair to [i]them[/i], those who aren't [i]better[/i]? It isn't It's unfair as it is, so in a sense you're just asking for potentially good input to be thrown away in favor of a post that has nothing to do with the topic itself, which the Moderators themselves have perfected in a sense.[/quote]No. See above. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mind Reaper 771 What you are proposing will no doubt destroy whatever sense of equality that this website still has left for the regular, average members who post here. This is a friendly place for us all to come together on equal terms, and just discuss or debate whatever might be on our minds, within reason of course. We have titles and such, but asking for a way for people to be seen and recognized on the spot is asking for more complaints, more pissed of users, and a larger gap between those well-known, and those who are seemingly invisible. Asking for something that makes people [i]better[/i] than you isn't going to improve a user-friendly attitude, hell the very idea of having people better than me in one of the few places I can freely speak my mind makes me feel sick. This is basically just asking for Elitism.[/quote]Again, no. This doesn't [i]make[/i] them better, it simply points out to others that specific users have been deemed a good member by some authority (eg. Bungie) and should probably be recognised for it. For instance, perhaps they consistently post in a respectable manner and this behaviour should therefore be highlighted in the community for others to follow. So in that sense, they're already "better". All I'm asking is a whether it should be displayed in some way.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mind Reaper 771 People show preference to those who show accomplishment or achievement, and you are kind of just asking for that to occur on a more frequent basis than it already does when something of this sort is implemented.[/quote]Absolutely. You know why? Because sometimes it's not worth reading everyone's opinion. If I ask a question about something I know nothing about, I would much rather get a response from/read a post from someone who I know knows what they're talking about. And that isn't just true of myself either. For instance, why do you think people [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74686485]want to be able to quickly find a Bungie employee's post[/url] in a topic? I'd wager a guess that it's because what they've posted may be authoritative in some way, and nobody wants to miss reading something like that.
