i just notice this exlusive thred creatoin part of this forum for the honary members of the babypips.
why has not the managers told other members of this development? and why is ther this secret forum only for people who post 1000 posts?
what do thay post so specal that others can not view?
personal to me I have not read any superior informaton that warents separate or exlusive treatment from a honary status members . i think this will only serves to create division and suspicon and is not what this forum is created for.
It was initially out for public access but we had to discuss some matters with the honorary members (regarding details of the forum - we wanted to get their thoughts on it first) and so we decided to pull it out and have the discussion there as sending private messages proved to be difficult to track.
We are just finalizing details and then we’ll have the forum published and accessible to the public. It is definitely not a ‘secret forum’.
Our apologies if it offended anyone, that is definitely not our intention. We’ll have the details finalized soon.
are honary members only worthy to discuss importent developmants of this forum? just becose they have plenty time to post 1,000 coments does not mean thay are more influensial than other membars who have been here for the same amount of time but do not have time to post 1,000 coments.
[B]and Petefader;[/B] you think creating a seperat and hidden secton of this forum will increse site traffic & provide entertainment?
ther was me thinking this site was focased on providing educaton and value for new traders, not segragating members and creating tiered, so called elitist groups.
your kinds of coments hidden away from the general membership, takeing the p*ss out of other members is exactly why thes tiered & secret sectoins are divisive and wrong!
Of course there are many members out there who are talented and knowledgeable traders, but don’t participate or contribute to the forums. The Honorary FX-Men Forum was created to reward those who do take the time to participate and contribute to the community.
There’s nothing secret going on. The forum will be open to all, we just had a private discussion to get their input on certain details such as to what should be in the forum and if they’re okay with the idea.
As there are talented & knowledgeable members who do participate & contribute to the forums, just not in the quantity that some of these honorary members do.
Don’t you think you’ve got it a little ass about face?
It’s precisely those talented & knowledgeable contributors you should be actively courting & attempting to include in this discussion. After all, there’s a very good reason they’re considered quality posters in the first place.
Maybe it’s about time to seriously consider re-evaluating this reward structure you promote on here.
Instead of registering honorary-fx status on [B]quantity[/B] of posts, perhaps it ought to be more a recognition of [B][U]quality[/U][/B] contribution.
Yeah, I take your point.
At the very least, I’d prefer to have the option of removing the title from underneath my name though.
I could care less, as I’m sure do a lot of other folks, if I’m marked up as a senior, junior or high ranking officer.
And for those naïve newcomers skipping onto the forum it can be a very misleading & time wasting exercise if they’re filtering or grading their research & forum activity based around a particular category of member.
It’s not about how often or how much you post but [U]what[/U] you post that matters to those seeking accurate & relevant information & guidance.
you can have private password access chats in the chat room. You can have private PM conversations. Why not have a private forum thread (which this one is private only temporarily to get some opinions). So if you don’t like secrecy then why not make all PMs public? You two are upset because of the seeming exclusivity but don’t get too upset because if you eventually get to see the comments there you will see that they are along the same lines of what you have been saying in here.
if that is being the case why not to open the suggestions to everybody then?
what is point of just consulting with one section of community if at the end we all are being given acces?
is your view on forum matters more importent than mine just becose you post here more times?
It’s less to do with exclusivity & more to do with obtaining balanced input & feedback about seemingly important forum direction from a cross section of what is supposed to be an open & all welcoming interactive environment.
It’s not like most of you 1,000 posters are experienced, competent traders now is it.
I’m sure most of us are not exclusively BP members.
I’m also sure that as members of ANY forum, we all realize that forums, no matter how easy to join, are still privately owned. They can make as many private pages, or members only deals as they want, I care not.
I’m also convinced that most “coverups”, or “conspiracies” begin with an innocent idea that goes awry because having limited knowledge of what is really going on, someone paints far more to the picture than there actually is.
This is falls into that category.
There are threads on this forum that none of us will ever see.
Who cares?
I didn’t choose to place that phrase under my name, it just happened when I hit 1,000 posts. Does that mean I’m George Soros? No.
But I HAVE tried to be helpful. And to be truthful, that has lead to a high post count. For that, I’m sorry.
From now on, I’ll try to be very knowledgeable, and keep my thoughts to myself.
We know you are planning to Enslave all of us under your New World Order agenda, and wnat to dominate the world by not sharing the right to have the Holy Grail.
It mainly came down to a “Would you guys make use of an exclusive creation forum if we created one?” question (note the “exclusive creation” not “exclusive participation”). Since that question was directed to a specific group of people, it made perfect sense for that discussion to be restricted to just those subject to the inquiry. Wouldn’t make much sense to have those outside the group chiming in, would it?
LOL, which begs the question that has already been asked…
Why was it only directed at a specific group of people?
And what exactly does forum status suddenly got to do with whether a site member will make use of a particular section of the forum?
Someone who contributes 100 or 200 or 300 helpful posts can’t be trusted to offer up an initial view or opinion on that?
So everything from now on that does or doesn’t appear on the forum has to be funneled through a select group of members before all the other grateful participants get to play?
First off most of us have agreed that a high post count does not necessarily mean higher knowledge. Nobody pretends to be better than anyone else.
Most forums have a way to gage “experience” some use reputation some use post counts whatever. Nobody was meant to be slighted or offended. btw some of the remarks about having nothing better to do but post is pure crap. I’ve been a member here since 2007 and don’t even have 1500 posts. I do post because I have learned a lot here and wish to give back. I think many of us feel this way so we contribute more. It is our way of keeping this positive cycle going.
Because every facet of life has a hierarchy of some kind…like it or not. Families, religions, corporations, timeframes, the food chain, …and yes even forum membership. You don’t usually see CEO’s of corporation asking the mailroom employees if they think opening a branch in timbucktoo would be profitable or not…even if they are going to some ivy league university on a degree track that relates to the issue… now do ya.
uh oh, they found us out, the cat’s out of the bag. Somone notify the Illuminati high council.
Can’t we all just get a long! :17:
Is there a logical programmably identifiable measure of value in forum posts? Some kind of metric? No I guess not… just have to make due with whatever you have then I suppose…
