[transportphoto]

Hi All,

I am wondering what the titles (alike) are for posters who have achieved X amount of posts. I know i started as a

New Member

then went on to become

Passenger

then a couple later a

First Class Passenger

Gateline Assistant

and I am now a CSA having this as my 101 post.

I am asking what the list is for this type of stuff and what the letters mean.

EG (under personalized line)

Thanks
Admin Any chance of moving thread to Announcements & Feedback Section as not suited to here but I cant post in said folder.

CSA = Customer Service Assistant ???

Actually I find it a bit confusing as I may think someone is writing as a railway employee when they are not.

If I told you, that would take away the surprise

They will not be around when we launch our new forum, so make the most of them whilst you can

When will the launch be?

Will it still be with V-Buliten?


Why cant you tell us - no surprise in it anyway... anyone else able to tell us??

What new forum?

 

[Mojo]

Perhaps I should say... "when we relaunch"

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Is it anything to do with http://www.railwaysonline.co.uk Mojo? *innocent face*

So will my post count be reset? I hope not.

So long as the user titles remain

Why does it matter? Quality is more important than quantity.

Quality is more important than quantity.

Can I go further than that without upsetting people?
Some of the most frequent posters also seem to make the least reliable posts (posting whatever thought first pops into their head). And those with low numbers of posts are often the best informed.
Not in everyone's case, of course.

Back to the original query - I do agree that the made-up "Job Titles" are counter productive. It wasn't long ago that someone was angry that a senior officer in a rail company (can't rmember the actual title that the system had used - poss TOC MD or something unlikely) was being so irresponsible to make the remarks they'd made. Clearly someone took the "Job Title" as seriously as the subject of the thread. It isn't helpful.

 

[MCR247]

Will we have to re-register?

 

[Mojo]

Is it anything to do with http://www.railwaysonline.co.uk Mojo? *innocent face*

No, that's a website I used to run a very long time ago. Not very much will change, just new version software, everything will be the same as before.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Just wondering as the login was slightly odd for that site!

 

[33056]

Perhaps I had better stop posting then, I must be one of the few on here with the correct title at present hock:

Indeed, there's some users on here with average posting figures of about 10 posts per day!

 

[Mojo]

Perhaps we should get rid of postcounts

 

[royaloak]

Quite agree, I can make 5 useful posts or 55 crap ones, which is better.
Maybe PB could start a poll about it
(hides behind settee)

Don't give him ideas!!

 

[Vulcan]

how about the ranks go up through multiple units? you start off as a lowly pacer and work your way up to a magnificent Eurostar. Just a thought. Or locomotives, class 03 being the lowest rank, and Deltic at the top?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
and what does RPI stand for?

 

[ralphchadkirk]

RPI - Revenue Protection Inspector

 

[Vulcan]

RPI - Revenue Protection Inspector

I don't want to be one of them

 

[Mojo]

No, they are going to be replaced with flying 'f's. One for 'Passenger' and six for 'TOC Owner'

In terms of class number class 97 would be top terms of power 70 would be top

Flying F's?

because that's rail related isn't it?


In terms of post counts I think removing the titles will be good because people post crap in order to get up high.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

. . . . people post crap in order to get up high.

Ah! I hadn't realised that that was the explanation! Thanks!

(If only it was that simple)

 

[MCR247]

A flying 'f'
