Quote from daniel_m:
your compassion is admirable candle. what a humanitarian...
but it's also totally misplaced.
the point is we want to make being an ELITE member something rare; something desirable; something not available to the common joe; something....elite.
and even if we don't make ELITE only available to the top 10, we obviously need to raise the bar on what it takes to get there.
i agree.
but if we say you need 2000 posts, well, over time, it's gonna get flooded again (and once again won't be all that 'elite')
that's why i favor a limited amount of places.
but i suppose it's possible to keep changing the requirements. (u know, from 2000 to 3000 to 4000 etc..)
as far as your asinine "super elite" and even more asinine "ultra super elite" (please!) go -- forget it!
i'm leaving elitetrader if that happens.
thankfully i think there's no way anyone would support such cheesy titles.
In view of the fact that we are not in agreement, I vote to maintain the status quo... if it ain't broken, don't fix it...


Members could be ranked by their profitability. Rank #1 would be the most profitable trader. I'm kidding, of course. However, that would be cool though.
