I asked to join arms about 3 times no reply, I'm guessing it was something I've said

Was this recently? I messaged a couple of weeks back and haven't got a reply. I didn't think you could get the esteemed tag without being in the arms.

You have to be over 25 to get the Esteemed tag

send a message to @Dan or @Lou if you want a place in the arms.

Yeah, tried that a few times, given up now

Thanks I'll give Lou a try.

Smashed that one.

Smashed that one.

Actually, I'm not sure if it's the amount of posts or likes or something.

Have been in the Arms for a while now and i still dont know what it means

 

[littlespark]

There’s a dress code to get in the Arms.


It’s an “electricians only” type place and @Dan asks for proof. (Business card, or whatever)
There are other prerequisites. See below.

As for swearing…. The censor filter isn’t perfect… Some words get through in one section but not another.
The public facing main forum isn’t the place to drop the F bomb… Don’t want potential customers or individuals looking for guidance thinking we are a bunch of ruffians and ne’erdowells.

@mainline I've had no pm from you. Dan is really busy at the moment so any requests please pm me and I will get to them. As you can imagine I do get a lot over the three forums along with all other work too bit I do try to do them as soon as I can.

Think esteemed is a combination of the two. Makes little sense that people like me or the serial account opening ranter get esteemed tags.

Agree. Can't believe Some of the people on here who have the Esteemed tag.

Don’t knock yourself though - you definitely contribute wisdom and reason.

I think it should be likes, posts and not being a complete penis. Not quite sure how that would be regulated though ... Sorry for hijacking the thread James!

Perhaps some reason, but fairly light on wisdom. I don't see the latter as being a problem, but the esteemed tag appears to impart special status and it's not good when abject nonsense is posted under the tag.

 

[DPG]

On the old system there used to be a tag which people got if they were deemed to have been useful/helpful/friendly etc. Can't remember what it was called, but I used to have it, god knows how

 

[littlespark]

The problem with just using purely number of posts to get a specific tag is that it’s not a true basis of “good advice”

There are some on here where 50% if not more of their posts are either arguing or just repeating their side of an argument over and over…
Not constructive.

It may be the number of “likes” or “informative” etc reactions the user receives.

That's how the old badge used to work. It wasn't just based on post count. Can't remember what is was called - anybody else remember? It's bugging me now.

Let’s face it, it was hardly a tough technical thread in the first place!

To be honest it was Dan, I messaged a few times as that's the only name it showed on the page but got no reply.
