new user categories - lets get creative

[brendy]

The problem with that is no one likes tiger so you would end up with 5000 smiley posts


+1

Would beat being faldo or Monty though!

Ive No good ideas but i like Mashies idea here

 

[CMAC]

Yes I like the idea, certainly might just be the small spur for someone to add a few more posts, hopefully not an incentive to spam nonsense or to +1 posts to reach that next milestone.
As its GM it certainly has to be Golf related in my opinion, here's my humble thoughts............;

Up to 20 ...................New Ball
21-100 ...................Tee Peg
101-500 ...................Driver
501-1000 ..................On the Tee
1001-2500 .................Straight down the middle
2501-5000 .................Elite Amateur
5001-10000 ................Q School
10001-17500 ...............Player of the Year
17501-30,000 ..............Forum Pro
30,000 and above..........Tournament Referee

Just a bit of fun

Like the old clubs idea. Its a bit of fun and a link to the history of the game.

The only problem with the old clubs idea is that you need to know the difference between them and how they are ranked

whatever you do, it needs to be obvious, to forumers of all levels, not just for the few

Something like

Shanker, Hacker, slicer, down the middle, Fairway in Regulation etc etc is both obvious and golf related and has a structure

can we fit the word "Knob " in somewhere?

The only category I could think of was knob. Couldn't get past that one really. Junior knob, knob, senior knob, top knob, smiffy.

how about total, complete, utter and cheesy as additional prefixes?

 

[FaldosJumper]

I quite liked the use of Mike's example as it made it personal to the forum but I understand it would make it appear cliquey to the new member/poster...

So for my next suggestion could we list all types of balls ranging in cost from range ball to the feathery?

Here we go, reflects the forum as i see it, more and more.

[MikeH]

Hi all
Thanks for your input and suggestions. Seems like the newbie through to Major winner/Hall of Famer theme is the most popular with honourable mentions to clubs/balls through the ages
I will implement this in the next few days and confirm all the titles and at what levels they kick in at
cheers

 

[Lump]

Is it worth thinking about time served aswell?

 

[3offTheTee]

Srely the one at the top MUST be 'A HOMER!'
