Arrow New Member Titles Added

As you will no doubtfully be noticing over the coming days New Member Titles and Ranks will be issued across the forum.

These are to signify members into different ranks if you like by the number of posts they have made on the forum.

This is just one of the things being introduced to give the forum a new lease of life for 2006.

Below you can see the breakdown of what Rank you can achieve by the number of your posts:

Newbie Trader - 0 Posts

Junior Trader - 50 Posts

Trader - 150 Posts

Experienced Trader - 300 Posts

Senior Trader - 500 Posts

Legendary Trader - 1000 Posts


This means that when you reach the certain number of posts you will automatically be issued with that custom tag. For all of you who have already acquired a certain amount of posts you will fall into one of the categories above.

We hope you like the new idea and should you have any comments, be sure to let us know..

Potentially misleading, the number of posts someone makes does not reflect trading experience it only tells you how often they have expressed an opinion for all you know they could be spouting off garbage but could have legendary trader as a title. Personally I would change it to something like "Manic Poster"

The forum admin and trusted seller tag are useful titles, thumbs up for them.

Thanks for the comments..

With regard to trading experience, as you say, the member titles are generally just a bit of fun and something community releated to show experience on the forum. We didn't bring this idea in to reflect ones trading experience by how many posts they make on a forum, just how much they have put into the forum ect..

Hope that clears it up..

Do your due dilegence when dealing obviously but if someone has a post count of 2000 it is highly unlikely that they are fraudsters spending day and night to build up a forum rating so people will trust them. I'm sure you can see a correclation between posts and trustability on this website once the posts are over 100 or so.
