forum bowling pin iconsL what do they all mean

[Tenly]

Ive noted I went from "honored resident" to simply "member" and that each of these designations, among others also have various colors. I cant however, find a posting from lindens regarding what any of them mean as far as levels, etc. and or how I was demoted. Probably too damn sassy for my own goog. lol

FOUND IT. for anyone else who might like a quickie reference:

Yeah, they don't mean jack squat to any of us on the forums. :matte-motes-wink-tongue:

I always find it hilarious when some newcomer shakes their fist at us for being stuck up about our rank or post count. As I type this I haven't the faintest idea what either of mine are.

[Aislin Ceawlin]

LOL, when I first came to the forums and got my first rank bump I was pretty stoked...till I realized it was absolutely meaningless! 

[Perrie Juran]

Yeah, it took me like 10,000 posts before I finally got "Advisor."

And I'll confess, I do kind of like having it.

I'd probably have gotten there sooner if I did 'Answers,' but I intensely dislike the format there.

The Bowling Pins are a concession that Linden Lab made to keep my Nefarious Mistress Madelaine at bay....They keep her otherwise occupied telling stories of how she plans to torture the poor things and thus keep her out of the most evil of trouble.

But since they are there, Linden Lab decided they need to have a legitimate purpose as well. Therefore the ranking system was created.

 

True Story.....Really!

And they're delicious!

The people with the highest ranks could care less about it.  They are helpful because they want to be helpful, not for any type of recognition.

Well now that I have looked, I see I am ONLY AN "ADVISOR"! <shakes fist>

Pam, if I were to introduce you to a room full of people, would you rather be a "Helper", or an "Advisor"?

;-).

ETA: And would you rather wear a red outfit, or a purple one?

[Pamela Galli]

I was think more along the lines of Supreme Something or Other. :matte-motes-evil-invert:

Remember, the Red Shirts have a very short Life Expectancy.

I wasn't looking for recognition. Im not a newbie despite this particular avatars birthdate. but I did note these things keep changing and don't always seem to correlate to anything. Nor when things "change" have I ever seen linden giving an explanation that isnt passive. meaning you have to look for it and your going to find it only if you know exactly what you are looking for. Not anti-linden but there are so many things with regard to the website that could use some serious polish and finesse. I believe its still 2004 in the land o linden website forum. But I shouldn't squawk. the improvements to the viewer and the marketplace have been honest steps forward. and Im totally stoked about bento...though really I WANT SOME TOES to go along with my finger bones please and thank you!!!! to Karen: and the "pins" being relating to your mistress...thats the best answer Ive ever seen. Loved it!
