Are you a junior member or a higher ranck

[Koji]

Konichiwa!!! Hello Vote on my poll wether you are a junior member like me or a higher statis???

 

[thomas]

Hi Koji,

let me add that all members are equal on our board, there aren't any "ranks" nor is there a hierarchy (hey, we maintain a civilian forum *G* ).

But seriously, the quality of a posting does not depend on someone's user status.

Currently, our user titles are as follows:

Junior Member
Member (Minimum Posts: 30)
Senior Member (Minimum Posts: 100)
Old Japan Hand (Minimum Posts: 500)
Veteran (Minimum Posts: 1000)

Once again, these titles should not be viewed as incentive to embark on a posting spree.

There are a quite a lot of forums that resorted to deleting user titles. Anyhow, it seems that rank and brass still stimulate the human ego.

Just the $ 0.02 of a modest junior member.

 

[deborah gormley]

I believe that user titles are true to some people, a pain in the neck(haha) , however to those of us who are less familiar with forums etc.; and the people to whom we post messages to are at a glance aware of our status, and if we write something silly or of no connection to the thread, it allows a bit of tolerance on the side of the existing members. It makes us feel less intimidated by the forum experts.

I'm sure by now I've made at least a dozen mistakes, and the members here tolerate or overlook it because of my status, and for that, I thank you,
debs xx

Well, this forum is just a few weeks old, so there aren't too many forum experts around yet. And I do hope from the bottom of my heart that there's nothing intimidating about our board (apart from the design).

 

[deborah gormley]

NO FORUM EXPERTS: well now I feel great thomas haha,

Its nice to feel at home, honestly!

 

[thomas]

Thanks for your kind words, Deborah. It feels good to have dedicated members!

If there'll ever be a user title such as "Forum Expert" it has to be you!

veteran = 1000 posts = drinking beer and living on the Japan Forum.

It's a nice day outside today

 

[deborah gormley]

went wild vegetable hunting for "Ainu-negi also called Georgia Nin-niku" ... a spinach type flower that tastes like Garlic.

Enjoyed Gengis-Kahn ... yakinuku but with Lamb meat too

 

[thomas]

We have a similar plant here, called "allium ursinum" ("Bear's Leek"), smelling very, ehm, intensive. Now it's season. Ainu-negi, hehe; probably the same plant.

Btw, my wife prepared it once gyoza-style. :lick:

 

[moyashi]

sounds 'smells' like the same stuff.

 

[deborah gormley]

I still think that the user titles are worth there weight in gold lol

 

[moyashi]

I like em just cuz that they sort of provide an insentive sometimes.
I was so happy when I made the 1,000 veteran mark at another site. LOL ... doesn't really mean much but still.

Although, I like them still they shouldn't be all important.

 

[deborah gormley]

wow moyashi you must have been there an eternity lol just kidding of course


thats great, hope someday I will have the honour of becoming a veteren of our much loved forum here,


untill then I will just post and be happy

 

[moyashi]

crazy but I was learning a lot at the same time.

 

[deborah gormley]

Just like me now then! Learning,



I hope your admin and super moder were as helpful and as wise as ours here, hehe.

[Dluxon]

1000 beers is definitely a lot of brown bombers!!!!!! That's a lot of visits to the Kirin (or Saporo) Beer Hall!!!!!!!!!

[moyashi]

hehe ... I'm a Asahi Super Dry fan! Even though I live in Sapporo !

Sapporo Beer is good too though and my favorite backup beer.

 

[samuraitora]

drinking beer and posting...sounds like I could really like it here.

what could be better than drinking beer and talking/learning about Japan???

 

[moyashi]

dinking beer here in Japan

The Biru-en(s) have started up !!!
Parks and builiding tops get turned into big Oktober fest like places ... hick

 

[thomas]

Do they have wheat beer in Japan? That (and black bread) are the only things I'm really missing while being abroad.

 

[samuraitora]

@moyashi

Your right...Drinking in Japan would be much better...lol
