[quote=RITA ,24052]Ranking system is widely popular and effective to encourage members to contribute more and more for most forums of various languages/ types, including this one Travel China Guide Community, the ranking gives others the first impression roughly the time the member spent / how much he/ she has contributed to the forum. It also gives the moderators/ admins of the forum an easy and eye-catching way as to measure somthing [I don't know exactly, but there should be] behind the stage...But I believe the perceptive and intellegent members/ admins measure or appreciate much more than just seeing the figures shown in members profiles. I saw some other forums using ranking system, too but to 'encash' those figures into something really stimulant (such as all kinds of gifts), so it is easier to understand why people there spend hours on end to 'flood' the forum with both quality posts and not so quality posts just to raise rankings. Well, some poeple have lots of time to pour in the forum, I can not blame them for that. But here, in this 'international' forum, people are mature and very well-educated and join in with very good and positive aims to learn and contribute at the same time, all of us here are beneficiaries, no matter in which way they prefer to learn or to contribute...I am the one happy to see that, I really am...But as an old saying in Chinese goes: everything we do, we should do it within a specific yardstick, many of us {or I would venture to say MOST of us} here has input something now and then for mere fun or to please themselves, it is harmless - we are human beings, perfectly harmless and acceptable. But some, we all have to admit that, some just have been doing far beyond that "yardstick"!! So, they can choose to keep doing like that, and all of the rest have the right to decide whether to accept it or not.Enjoy the forum![/quote]
