With this ranking system (as-is. I understand it's a work in progress), that would put someone constantly monitoring FR's. That would need someone who's sole job is to keep track of each individual's progress. That will never happen, so the guys with the cool belts will occasionally pick a winner whilst everybody else remains a white-belt.
Thus, the popularity contest.
Users will grow weary of all the work they put in and they're still just some "newbie" on the site, waiting for one of the big guys to take a liking to them. People get their feeling of importance in strange places. If you neglect that, they will just wander back to where they came from.
was no 3 FR on the SLA public forum?
no way I could keep that all straight, but dont think this is going to have 85,000 members anytime soon
and what I would require is for the member to pm me (or another admin/coach/mod) with links and we could scan them, and then we could promote, or if I notice someone is really kicking ass, they get made. Same stuff I did on the Eltie forum
also looking into ways for only higher belts to be able to promote
basically like a martial arts organization
I was a green belt..
