i propose becuae i have seen a increase of debates of who is "Newber". so instead of a post count. why don't we put the date we joined the site? or maybe a compilation of both. or seperate color tag for shop employess, ski instructors, and other professionals of the sport. im just throwing this out there, becase this seems to be what some of the threads are becoming into arguements over this crap. just my two cents.

Pretty cool idea, but sounds a little complex for the site now, maybe in the near future.

Could work just like that. But then you would always have the people who just post whore themselfs out until they hit fifty posts.

meh...this site is for progressing our sport. talking about things in our sport and such. newbs and vets of this site is a good thing, cuz it means that kids are wanting to get into freestyling and steezing while those vets can offer help to get them there.
its more important that we just not really care so much about whos a newb and whos not and let those who like to post, post. let em do there thing. just no pay attention to it

why don't you just reply on how intelligent their statement was, instead of basing your opinion of them on how long they have been on this site. What if Simon Dumont made a name that wasn't his real name. You'd call him a newb. Doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about skiing

no but ski job (if had) age and date joined should be put. So then when a 12 year old starts alking about how kelly clark is so hot, we know hes just dumb, not gay. (see how i smoothly stuck in a kelly clark ugly joke... shes the new your mom)

i think its a bad ideas, because if you get a no0b who wants to start a post, then it'll just post whore till 50 or whatever posts. and i dont think it would really help that much.

for people with under 100 posts you should have a confirmation message come up saying Are you sure you searched it?

Why? What would the point be? There is none. I don't care when someone joined, thats really not important. If they are stupid and post stupid shit, I'm not going to respect them just because they have been here a long time. IE Mattman.

the only "noob"problem this site has is people thinking that they should tell every noob that they are bad ass, and found the internet 3 months before them. If people would jsut shut the FUCK up and talk about skiing? there would be no problem. Only like a very rare while is the search bar thing very appropriate.

me, yes to this site, i could be considered a "noob" i have been on the site for less then a year. HOWEVER, i do have a indept knowledge of the sport, and work in the Ski industry. so in a way, my "idea" would prevent instances like this. and a secenario which was brought up in another post,as if a pro such as tanner, or simon make a user name. to the site, they may be a noob, but there knowledge could far suceed yours.

how about... you suck at the internet.
how about... you don't judge people you don't know, especially on trivial things like how long they've nerded it up on here?

I think that is an excellent idea. They have that sort of thing on other much more mature forums than we have here, so I think it is dearly needed.

Some forums have like a point system, where when someone makes a useful post they get a point, and when someone makes a stupid post they lose a point...it is easy to see what posts to read that way. It goes something like this:
-100(0)100
Lowest is -100, highest is 100, the 0 is where you are at right now, so if you were at say 9 it would look something like this:
-100(9)100
If someone is in the negatives, maybe they wouldn't be able to make a thread or something. I don't know, but I think that it is a solution.
