Just a recent thought that popped in my mind. Maybe it's a dumb idea, but I'll throw it out here nonetheless...We've been having this discussion on the forums where we've been discussing welcoming new members & encouraging them to participate in discussions without being afraid to comment. I've also noticed that some of our newest members are actually people that are close to the action and have very pertinent information on what's happening behind the scenes. But since they're fairly new, or they don't want to blow their cover, they don't have a lot of posts. Subsequently, the "Rookie" status is still placed next to their Avatar. I was thinking maybe we should do away with that "Rookie" stuff, and just place "Member" next to their Avatar. That way they would feel more like a full status member, instead of the "Rookie" status (that kind of is a negative connotation), and their posts would be considered more significant & equal. . Like I said, maybe it's a dumb idea, but I just thought I'd mention it.
