Discuss Has the 'Respected Member' tag had its day? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
That's basically what we do on tilers.I’ve changed my mind twice now regarding this thread.
(I feel,like a Liberal Democrat)
First I thought it’s useful to know who can be relied on to give good advice.
@Dan then changed my mind due to the information he has been giving in his posts.
Now I’ve changed my mind again.
I do understand @Dan is frustrated with members with labels not living up to expectations.
But rather than remove all together. Review each member with a tag every 12 months to see if they are performing as per tag and remove if necessary.
Also before giving a member a tag tell them what the minimum expectations are and ask if they cannot deliver say now so to avoid getting removed later.
Maybe make it 4. But if a post can't be said in a sentence it should be left to the like buttons.Not everyone does.
Can we get rid of this 5 word minimum thing?

I don’t see any harm inSurely every member is respected.
It sounds ever so cliquey.
I think in the current times when everybody should be totally equal, denoting who's 'respected' it a bit cheeky.
It used to be called "Elite Member" - Christ, imagine if we had that these days?!?!?!
On TilersForums.com it's now 'Trusted Advisor' but even then the advice changes and it's marking old now inaccurate posts as if the post should be trusted. And it can cause a bit of a shitstorm every now and again because some poor sod has tiled their bathroom the old way and their tiles are falling off.
I've put a poll up to get a feel for it. But it's not to say if either outcome is clear - that we will go for it.
It's up for discussion.
Please be professional with your replies. That said we wont be warning anybody for speaking out. This is my own thread and my chin can take it.
I don’t see any harm in keeping respected members if done properly. For example, I’m on a mk1 golf forum and we have different levels of members, like ‘newbie’ ‘old timer’ ‘local hero’ etc and this works really well in the sense that the more experienced members help the newbies or less experienced with car related issues and repairs. Newbies aren’t afraid to ask questions which others may find silly and they know they will happily get good answer with good advice from someone who knows what they are talking about. The same as I’d be happy taking advice or information from a ‘respected member’ on here.Surely every member is respected.
