Forum seniorityEdit: This thread is just for fun and is not meant to be taken seriously
Due to the problems with the current postcount system i have deviced a simple new system based on rep, postcounts and joining date to work out peoples true seniority on the forum.
Your seniority rating =
+ 1 for every full month since you joined
+ 1 for evey 1000 posts
+ 1 for every gem of rep
so mine is 4 + 1 + 3
Note this system only gives a vauge idea of who is more senior, and dosn't take into account the actual contents of people posts but i thought it might be interwsting - here is the seniority rating of the tope page of members:
So in order of seniority, then alphabetically:
Adhsur 15
elpaw 13
ickle_katy 13
Ollie 13
Mr White 12
Iluvatar 11
lou p lou 11
Xenon 11
Leekey 10
Egan1 9
Expression 9
Lord Huntroyde 9
a_musical_gal 8
Bigcnee 8
edders 8
loftx 8
Bhaal85 7
eric bischoff 7
Infinity 7
Pencil Queen 7
vienna95 7
ZJuwelH 7
2776 6
Blamps 6
gemgems89 6
theone 6
Anna 5
curryADD 5
Sire 2

Yes, but it all amounts to time when you have been here. I eman lets see some random people, they might be here for like 12 months but havnt done anything. So I think yuou should rethink the system(Original post by loftx)

Notice phil is not on the list - members who have been inactive for a certain period don't get counted - everyone else is still a regular member.(Original post by 2776)

The problem is I don't think there will ever be a system that will please everyone, I look at forum age as the main point of seniority, but at the same time have respect for people like Sire and snow white who haven't been here that long, it's preference plain and simple.(Original post by 2776)

I think it's as fair a system as can be devised.(Original post by 2776)

Not long maybe 10 mins or so - the maths is pretty easy due to the way i chose the criteria. It would be easy to write a program that did it for every member though and you could alter the weight so how long you've been here mattered less.(Original post by 2776)

Theres a lot of people who should be about mid way up that list that are still active. I guess you just didnt include everyone?(Original post by loftx)

Sadly no - I would liked to have done a lot more - but it takes quite a while - please feel free to post your own below and i will add it to the main list.(Original post by Chris_)

How about:
Seniority = entire months since joining + (post count/200) + (10 * hours spent on UKL in last week) + (10 * number of rep gems)
Of course the 200 and 10 used to multiply or divide may be varied to be as accurate as possible (but kept constant throughout use).
So this takes into account:
Experience on UKL
Post count
Amount of activity
Reputation
Hours spent online in last week might be hard to find, I guess. -

I think more credit needs to be given to entire months since joining, although I agree post count should be worth a bit more than time since joining.(Original post by thefish_uk)
