something like that would be cool.. and i will DEFINATELY bring it up with the "staff" although they kind of go together.. i want to focus on restrictions for VIP since thats the issue at hand.. but yeah that might be MUCH better..than having a number..
just a thought
I may have read it wrong, so correct me if I did, by all means.
Even if we do the ranking deal that way, based on 50-100 posts, or whatever etc. people would still be whoring to get the next rank up to obtain more privileges. Maybe incorporating both time and post count in the ranking would work? Still a little flawed with that too though.
I'll just use me as an example.
I visit ClubCivic daily. Every day. It's sad, but I do. When I'm not at work, or out with friends, etc. I'm usually playing around with my Graphic Design or Film projects, and I frequently take breaks so I don't get burnt out on any particular project, so I mess around on here.
When I post, it is almost always, I'd say over 90% of the time, actual content that took some thought to write out. I try to stay away from "That's cool" or "Nice ride" and similar comments that are basically whoring, since usually 20 other members have said the exact same thing by the time I see the thread. I try to make sure I contribute when I post, for the most part(I have whored in the past, I have flamed in the past, but I'm talking majority here).
What I'm getting at is that, while I don't post all that much, I try to make the ones I do make worthwhile. I've been here since September 2003 and only have 400 odd posts(was just about to break 1k before the Lounge posts being killed), but I feel I've contributed pretty well to the site, even if the majority was not tech related.
As someone already stated, I think the best solution would be that you apply to participate in VIP. And mods can look to see what kind of member you are to this site and give access. But there's far too many members, not enough mods, and not enough incentive for them to do something like that.
Anyways, I think the rank idea is a good one, don't get me wrong. Just needs to be fine tuned.

the more posts you need, the more potential whoring to get into a "VIP' section. AGREED.oc_civic said:
100 posts I think is too little and a year too long. Mabye 250 and 6 months...???
As an example of the year thing...... I have 3200+ 'relevant' posts and b/c I havent been here a year I cant get into VIP. 
That concerns me. I think you will see peoples opinion will fall where they lay statisiically. (another example is you and RSXchic both sided on 1 year, why, well, would oyu honestly NOT include yourself in VIP? I mean really?
