Let's face it... POST COUNT means squat.. and so does the ranking.
Advanced User (my current ranking) doesn't hold much water when users with the same post count or higher post meaningless garbage, ME TOO's, etc. The member list is full of guys with artificailly high POST COUNTS.
On the other hand.. we've got some members with single digit posts, (some great posts sometimes) but are stuck with demeaning rankings.
I'd rather have my posts stand on their OWN merit, then have someone look at MY RANKING... and think one thing.. then see some other bum with the same RANKING making an ARSE of himself.
The Only ranking worth anything anyways are MOD and HEAD MOD! (<edit> and maybe DEVELOPER for guys with release like BENJ.)
I'd gladly see my POST COUNT/ RANKING disappear for the cause!
So.. what do you think? Time to scrap the POST COUNT / RANKING altogether, and have the only "RANKING be MEMBER or MOD"

Just a random thought...
