I say a very good decision,
@Godless-Kafir and others should follow your suit.
I have noticed "bhai-bhatija waad" in this forum and only Mod's and certain owners (read :
@Yusuf) are to be blamed for this.
I am not the owner of the forum. The forum does not run in ad hoc manner. There are clear cut rules.
There is nothing like getting "official" recognition. The recognition comes from the members who appreciate your posts.
DFI has a post count based system and there is elite and star which has clear cut guidelines and it happens after deliberation in staff.
Elite and star are not handed out to all and sundry. A person with 500 posts also can become star if he is that good.
I am sorry, the example of Godless Kafir who I have supported many times to get his ban revoked although for a better part of his time on the forum he was mouthing only expletives. And then come back and "demand" elite and staff positions.
We are not running a circus here. Who is our elite and star says a lot about te forum and I am sorry anyone cannot become that.
I say again, recognition is best when it comes from the members. We had the member of the year thread. That is recognition. Not any change in color with a fancy tag.
