Member Levels : Suggestions ?

chrsplmr
Level 18
Due to the overwhelming growth experienced with the new Global forum and Asus's commitment to the
Members through this long term investment it has become necessary to add member levels to our forum.

Member levels help build community and encourage us to reach higher and go further than any of us
thought possible.

Since we have this opportunity to shape a piece of our futures MarshallR has asked what we would
consider worthy of the ROG traditions.

10 Levels : Suggestions ?

These levels of course reflect ROGforum experience by post count and not necessarily technical
expertise .. which is another level all together.
(Perhaps under Country could be TechLevel Stars. In the future.)

I leave it to the MemberShip .. I have only a few suggestions ..
1. ROG Noob 1-10 Until you have 'skin' in the game.

10. @asus 10,000+ (After 10,000 posts, Asus would be crazy not to hire 'them'.)

Final Thoughts: Perhaps the levels should be 1-2000 (200-400-600 ect.)(whatever the Title) and then
from 2001-9,999 - a new 'custom title' button ... by acceptence of course. ie.. ROG Black&Red.
10,000+ ... @asus .. or TeamROG ........... now thats a title.
Above all Titles should reflect the mutual respect we hold dear for each other.c.

A tweak where a mod can give "more" rep than users would probably suffice.

Plus another that tells us who was kind enough to give us the Rep 😛

Just curious, why does this matter?
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

No tweak needed. I know that Brian had more rep power than anyone else due to some setting. Unfortunately I don't know where to tell you to look. 😄

Maybe... but could be done some changes in order to "force"/"remind" people to give reps? I think that's the biggest problem... that people forget to do it... Like a popup window when submitting posts or something...

Rep means someone is thoughtful. I personally think it is a terrible way to judge whether someone knows what they are talking about.
The post directly after theirs tells you that. Then wait for hiviz,raja,praz ect .. to give the final answer.
BullShooters get shot down real quick up in here .. either you know .. or you dont.

What is useless to one may speak volumes to the next .. i would rely more on the forum leaders and mods to give
credit where credit is due.
Level counts tied to levels works well because it is visible progress .. to a point .. then the Member appreciation rep is nice ..
Mod/LeaderShip rep carries more weight .. even if done privately .. then tying the support stars or something ..
a 5 star tech for instance as opposed to a 2 star.
Being able to see 'who' rep'd you would be 'nice' to thanks them or return in kind .. but it would also show who did not ..
and may lead to hard/hurt feelings ... when all of this should be positive and forward moving for all.
Unless a member has 'all' the equipment to test or to try to reproduce an issue .. support is years of experience.

Here is another reality .. this should be as simple and not time consuming for mods ect .. there is more than enough
work to do .. we dont need to pile to much more on them ... the spammers seem to have that covered ..

a post is a post .. if it falls within the rules .. even if it is to say 'I agree with above.' or a funny picture .. it all adds
to the community as a whole .. it is the sum total that is ROG .. not all support or rma .. or overclocking or reviews ..
ie .. grotts polar bears .. or jokes amoung friends .. adds to the community atmosphere.
Tech levels should be seperate .. but not to encourage rudeness ... if a member has 1 star .. and answers ..
doesnt mean it is not the answer ... it doesnt take a 5 star tech to know .. memory slot closest to the cpu .. for example..

it is complicated .. this way .. so is this what we are saying .. someone sees a 'black belt' post ... that black belt couldnt
reach that without also being a 5 star tech ... for appearances ??
The black and white tech forum is vip.asus ......... this is ROG ... Gamers not ROTechs... humbly offered.
The best of the best of all flavors are in here .. I thought that was the whole point.
You could be the best Mod'r on the planet and be clueless as to tech aspects ... just like maybe a SuperTech may not
know which end of an airbrush is up or out .... It feels a little like elbowing for position when in truth it Does take
the whole StarWars Bar Scene together ... to ROG. And lets face it . if you make it through 2000+
posts in here without being booted for trolling or getting boo'd off stage .. then you have
real 'skin' in the game .... I dont give a rats left ear if ya know a capacitor from a muffler bearing.
Do'n the time .. adds to the shine....sometimes the only thing need is a few words of encouragement.
If we just want a straight 'support' forum only .. we can do away with most all of this and only allow
'real' techs to answer .. maybe about 4 more hiviz's .. even theViz needs a smile now and then.

One Empire at a time though .. for now .. can we get back to the OP's OQ ?

10 Member Levels: (Relating to Post Count) Suggestions ? or are we now suggesting that
this also needs to be tied to MemberAppreciationRep and Leaders/Tech/ForumRep?

This is get'n good.c.

It does not take long to click the button even for us. If I give someone reputation it is almost certainly because they are successfully helpful. And even if a mod is not technically inclined, he can see if someone's help towards another user has cured the issue or not.

Other than that, I don't take forums too seriously so my input is of limited use only. The reality for me is that well over half of what goes on here will always be tech support related and all gossip aside, people come here for help so I would always lean towards incentives based upon that facet of the site. The rest, there are plenty of people online that want to just talk so that runs itself without any form of incentive.

Why does this all matter? Who cares how much "REP" you have or how many post? Just so long as folks get the help they need what the H E double hocky sticks does it matter. You can take the post count off mine I could really care less.



Most intelligent people don't care about post counts.

Those that do help a lot, if their rep hits a certain level and rewards are introduced then things do start to matter. I think you get my drift. If someone helps a lot of users rewarding them when they get to X level might not be a bad idea (someone should be awarded something for their hard work and this is a system we can potentially utilize for that). As an incentive it's better than having someone spamming the forum with gibberish and bally-hoo just to get to X post count level.
