I think I would probably agree with you on that one. as long as its well made.
Anyway.. you might notice that the info in the little pop up card for your name in the forum now has a star rating (for those worthy). There will be 1 - 3 stars which is your Super Member rating.
The rating is along the lines that Freez suggested and similar to an award we tried about previously.
Basic requirements are
25 subs and 1000 posts (forums / teams)
50 subs and 2500 posts
100 subs and 5000 posts
We might extend/change the rating if there seems to be a good reason to do so.
If this post is irrelevant to the topic please ignore it.
It may be a test and it may be deleted shortly.
