Belies-v-lied, lying-to give a false impression. To show something to be false or wrong.

What did I do Pebe?

Anyway, maybe we could change them to Electro, instead of Electronics. Seems to me people are getting worked up about it.

Everyone should consider all post given by anyone regardless of there rank(if it is in resonable doubt). Someone also should not address the Masters, Experts, etc.., and only ask them for help. What if a newbie knew the answer. But since the author only requested the higher ranks, he doesn't get the oppourtunity to post his knowledge of the subject.

When I first got on here, and labeled as a newbie, then to wannabee, I thought it as a landmark when I actually hit Guru. I knew that It was only going by how many posts you have posted. But it was fun in the process.

On a good day, I can average about 15-20 posts, but you read them, and not all of them pertain to anything really. And I'm labeled as an expert. But I'm by no means an expert yet, because I have only been in this for 6 years.

And I omit what I said before about Gurus knowing what they talk about, the labels don't mean anything about your knowledge in electronics, only by how many post you have. So consider that. If you want to get to a higher rank, post more often if at all possible. Enjoy this site, I do. Don't worry about the small things. Just keep on posting and helping others.

I hope I didn't offend anyone. Sorry if I did.

Okay, I did overlook the fact that new comers would look at peoples rank and associate it with a skill level. The ranks are intended to be a bit of fun so I have once again revised them:

Electro Tech Member 0-10
Electro Tech Wannabe 11-50
Electro Tech Zealot 51-100
Electro Tech Enthusiast 101-200
Electro Tech Addict 201-500
Electro Tech Junkie 501+

I will wait for a few people's opinions before I update the site. Please post your feedback about the new ranks.

well i think that these are just for fun, but when i came here, i thought that the "big guys" were experts, and when i saw i was a newbie i thought that nobody would read my posts, but they did.
maybe a change would not affect so much, but it could also be added somathnig, like a scale from 1 to 10 and each member should judge about where he is, and that wouldnt matter of the number of posts.

I like the new names electromaster. Go with them since everyone else is complaining about the ones we have right now.

Well i have always found these variouse IRC expressions anoying like wannabe, n00b and others. But the one i hate the absolute moast is LOL!!

cobow

these names are for fun & we all need some fun in our lives a quick read of the posts soon sorts out the skill level. i for one come here to learn and pick up tips and ideas and are in no way embarrased by being called a newbie or whatever. keep up the good work, i am always learning.

No. It's just meaningless.

bogdanfirst

but, i think these ranks are funny, LOL(ha ha ha)
but here is something i think we need.
some symbols(like omega, beta, micro etc), because when i write a meaasge i have to write ohm instead of the letter. they could be added in the righe part of the message post like the emotions.
dont you think tis could be useful?

herbymcduff

when your labeled a webmaster, are you truly a Master of the Internet :? :? :?:
