Tomorrow evening Andrea Bocelli is to perform in a concert at the colosseum, Rome, to aid the victims of the Abruzzo Earthquake - at €1000 a ticket attendance is probably out of the reach of most of us but there are ways you can help for

The merit system itself was my main concern adriatica - sorry maybe my title was misleading. I understood absolutely what you meant by drivel, you were perfectly clear.To be able to quantify the worth of any given post satisfactorily in everybody's eyes would be impossible.
Why Carole? Is funny not allowed here??? You know who hates a coward ... =o)
Most of what you say makes perfect sense adriatica, however I for one wouldn't want to be concerned that every post I made (be it informative or otherwise) was being judged for merit worthiness.For me a good post can be one that is full of solid useful information but equally one that makes me laugh. Who is to say that the latter is less valuable?Who on earth would be willing to judge the posts for merit marks? My own opinion of a good useful post may differ wildly from your own for example - this wouldn't make either of us wrong, just different. The awarding of merit marks I feel would in itself instigate squabbles.As an example would you consider this a good useful post? I would give it top marks =o)This great new place will hopefully be filled with a rich variety of characters and each and everyone will arrive with something to offer forum life.
Like anything the star system is open to silliness/abuse. As I mentioned on the old forum it is quickly obvious which threads are really good and which are just for fun etc.Would prefer a system whereby Admin popped a symbol onto any thread ie Informative - Fun - Techy - Renovations etc etc... and no member access these symbols? Is this possible?
Hmmm... 'Community Visitor' is indicative somewhat of a mental healthcare official and 'Community Member' is almost as grim (Sorry Ronald!) I agree that there must be some way of differentiating but something classier like Gala's suggestion would be appreciated.
Just to say that security of personal information seems to be an issue with many of the undecided members of the old forum.My partner is concerned too!Could this issue be clarified in a post on the old forum maybe?When it comes to internet technology there is always going to be an element of paranoia - some justified.
