Pete Raven 276 Posted March 15, 2004 Star striker means that the poster is in the top 25 of message posters, midfielder is top 50 and reserves is in the top 100. I think it works out a percentage of all posts (so can go up and down). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Archie 0 Posted March 15, 2004 maybe i am being paranoid,but a problem with this may be that it''ll encourage pointless posts which waste everyone''s time simply for someone to get higher in the ratings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted March 15, 2004 That''s the beauty of moderated posts - all posts full of inane drivel in an attempt to climb the rankings will be deleted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted March 15, 2004 Thats all well and good Peter but who moderates the moderators???PS you get my vote for best moderator too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Web Team - Vince 0 Posted March 15, 2004 It''s just for fun. You''ll find them under your name/nickname next to any message you''ve posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted March 15, 2004 i think i''m being stupid - can''t see anything next to my alias on my posts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMTD 0 Posted March 15, 2004 a1 - for a "Star Striker" you appear not to be able to hit a cows backside with a banjo :D !!Unless you are using a very strange text only internet browser it should be pretty obvious from this thread.Are you still having problems seeing it? If you are maybe the Web Team can come up with a new category just for you - I suggest "Referee"(Just having a laugh mate - no offence taken I hope) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted March 15, 2004 nope - can''t see nout! must be my browser! ie 6 tho is pretty standard i thought. as for my rating, with 280 odd posts, i expect less of that lip NMTD! Altthough the bit about inane drivel may have had an influence on my rating!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Web Team - Vince 0 Posted March 15, 2004 This is what it looks like: www.pinkun.com/temp_a1canary.gifThe graphics were always there - it''s just that we used blank images before.Here''s a few things to try:Force the page to refresh by pressing F5 - this should refresh the graphics as well.A proxy server may need updating. Try tricking it by adding something to the end of a message link, e.g.http://new.pinkun.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=20101&fake=0Finally, in IE:Tools menu> Internet Options> [General tab]Temporary Internet Files: Settings > "Check for newer versions of stored pages" set to "Every visit to the page" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted March 15, 2004 Good idea Peter, always fancied myself as a striker up front with my Hucks,think we would soon strike up an understanding!! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie b 0 Posted March 15, 2004 I don''t want to be on the bench! I have scored whenever I''ve been on this board (?!?!) so my goals-to-posts ratio is very good! I have turned up to training every day and made every effort to get on with my fellow posters, star strikers or otherwise, so I demand a place in the elite league of posters or else I will go and join the Fab W. ''toys-out-of-the-pram-sour-grape-eating society'', so there! Besides, I haven''t got much meat on my botty to make sitting on a piece of wood very comfortable. And also, city angel should not be allowed to play with Hucks up front when I could be doing a decent job instead!!! I await my personal promotion, yours, etc. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted March 15, 2004 Glad you feel this way Susie. I think we should form a disaffected corner and go and sulk somewhere while training by ourselves. Or maybe we''ll just get a bit fat and not run much so we can only come on for the last 20 minutes. Unfortunately, middle age means I can now sit quite comfortably on the bench whereas a few years ago it would have been somewhat painful too. But my pace up the right wing has suffered a bit.I rather liked being a midefielder like I was before, I could run things from there and dictate the pattern of play, occasionally nipping forward for a goal.Now I''m just on the bench I''m going to flounce out, throwing my shirt to the ground in disgust and storm right up that tunnel. At least I get to the communal bath first............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl Cort 0 Posted March 16, 2004 i used to be called kolin kob. can i have kolin''s and my posts added togthr so i can get a squad place? there should also be a fabian wilnis award for worst post...probably this one actually... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Tyke 0 Posted March 16, 2004 Is there anyway that you can see your rating without posting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Web Team - Vince 0 Posted March 16, 2004 Only if you find one of your older postings. But you have just posted... so you can look now.If you haven''t posted before you won''t be in with a chance of being in the top 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Pilkington 0 Posted March 16, 2004 Getting quite annoyed!!! Last week I was in midfield setting up a1canary and silver fox with my sublime through balls, now I have to be happy with chatting with Crichton on the bench!!!Would a better description for first i.e "Star Striker not be "first team". This follows the natural progression from reserves to bench to first team squad!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
