Great suggestings, we've also talked about having more perks available for BN members. I think it was flamesabers? that suggested a Silver or Gold level, or something similar. Though a membership fee (donation?, i.e. $1.00??) would get you into those areas of perks (possibly weed out spam and troll traffic, hopefully).

More input (help suggestions) please, Eve has the doors open for a rare discussion about changes to the program & picture
section..........

Lotus, if you remember some of the conversations we had about a year ago, I suggested that we could use the ranking system that is currently in use.... To allow more perks, Members Only section above a certain level, which would or could include the more "intimate" pictures such as full body shots or what ever a member with enough rank or privilege would have.

I think the basic layout is good, but should and could be improved. I believe I even sent a few suggestions to Eve well over a year ago and CC'd you in on them.... But since I answer so many PM's for new member's and the friends I have made here, I had to delete all of them.

I think that's a great idea, although it can take some people a rather long time to reach 4 or 5 stars on the current system. But I like it, kind of like a loyalty thing, it's a good incentive for people to share their thoughts and ideas instead of just letting someone else answer even though they might have knowledge about something.

The ranking system as it relates to how many stars a member has motivates posting freaks for sure........Katana, it looks like your closing in on " posting freak status " . For others that's less important, it's cool either, but input (new posts) are a welcome sight to see. Sometimes BN moves at a snail pace (idling lol), then wham!!, a flurry of traffic appears out of thin air and you've got 15 posts to read.

I thought posting freak was 5 stars, I have 3, although now I think about it does 4 stars even exist(i don't recall seeing a 4 star member(gosh that sounded wrong)), or does it just go straight from 3 to 5?
Lol i've noticed that tends to happen in the hours a normal person would be sleeping (in the UK anyhow) but I don't need much sleep 5-6 hours and I'm buzzing all day, (any less or more kills me lol) so am often up in the late night hours to read posts xD
