Ranking, Rating... whatever you name it...

In my opinion:

**The whole ranking, rating or starring system was nothing but a notice of dejection to some of us. One feels that their importance or their presence is not appreciated here just because… less number of posts or their non-involvement in certain forums or whatever…

Lets forget about everything! Lets forget about ranking or rating.

Make this place useful!

How? Recommend or Refer

For example, if someone successfully helped you with something then “refer them” to your pals or “recommend their names, suggestions and solution” for similar or identical issues, questions and situations.

Help build the Pakistani Internet Community, Shine, even if you are not called as STAR. **

I suppose this is in response to the other thread about 'ranking', but I am not sure if I was able to decipher your suggestion completely. Can you explain it a bit more. Color coding and underlining is not mandatory :)

Just to point out, however, the # of posts is not the sole criteria to judge the usefulness of members and is not a pre-requisite to appreciate any of them. I am not sure why you think that way, or why are you so offended by any appreciation shown for some loyal and long-lasting members?
