I don't think anyone would have a problem with Dallas and other BA support staff having halos over their forum name or something similar.
Reverend CS should get the halo. ;)
Just a +1 or -1 to individual posts (and the ability to sort by this method) should give enough guidance as to 'credibility' I should think? It works wonderfully on the Daily Mail. 😁

Sorting posts according to rankings/ratings is all well and good on a forum with advice in self-contained posts. The problem here is that there is a lot of discussion so sorting posts would randomise the order and lose the meaning/context of the discussion.

I have a cunning plan...

I propose a closed Super Forum where 12 biggest posters debate each other and receive guaranteed credit while the rest can only read and not post for a small subscription fee, but there will be 5 slots open for anyone else to get in based off postcount alone.

All those in favor post your favorite emoji 👍

Valid point. Perhaps then, an icon for visibility, dependent upon the number of likes?

I propose a closed MEGAFORUM with €1,000,000 subscription fee, to show credibility.

On a completely unrelated note this might be a good a place as any to place a random advert.

Looking for someone skilled at Microsoft Paint and Photoshops 👍

Sorry, thought it was clear. Easy job, just to add a few zeros here and there!

But very impressive Alex, you already have the skillset of a profitable trader 👍

I just noticed I have surpassed 5000 posts, putting me at 5th on the all-time list

Many of those posts have simply advised people not to trade with an erection etc.

Do I get a halo for inspiring snippets of advice like this? ;)

Congrats LeTiss. I sometimes wonder what my post count would be If I was stripped of all my rants, bickering and non-trading posts. :)

I am pulling out of the Super Forum idea, I have gotten far too many angry PMs about it from legacy forumites over the past 48 hours :|

Congrats on the 5000

If there was an all-time list for 'one-liners' you'd be top by a long way :D
