Whilst you can still determine who and who is not a ninja here I believe that making the ninjas stand out a little more would be beneficial. They may not have the same powers as before the update however they do provide one other good service to the site. They stand as role models for newer members. Thus most of what they say will:
a)Be in someway helpful
b)Useless
Most of the time it is options "a". In a way the "hierarchy' of members on the old B.net was beneficial to learning the ropes of the site. People had others they could look to if they needed some guiding. I am not suggesting we bring the rank system back but maybe just make those who were at the top of the previous ranking system a little more stand-outish to serve the purpose of the role models of an era now gone.
