Subject: User titles ... condensing the chip sets used, adding Mac Silicon chips ..

Where's the M1/M2/M3 and their chip variants in the list?
The i3/i5/i7 not worthy?
Is having the 6502/6502a homage to the early Apple computers?
fwiw, I programmed assy coding in 1983 on the 6502 in my college engineer class.

There already is a thread about this Click Me!

Well, that thread kinda shows what it is. I did scroll down but that was not evident in what I saw.

I’m proposing to totally redo the rank names, the #posts to get higher name, etc.
Very different topic.

Need to face reality, up to 5-7 years ago forums were frequented .. now many are going away. So much other social content to occupy one’s time.

I’d be curious to see year over year the avg qty of posts members make.
Even broken out by newbies (1 year or less), 2-5 year members, and +5 year members.

This is 15 years ago data ..

TIL what those items under people’s name stand for. Can’t say it makes much of a difference to me.

What's the most interesting to me is what's already in the profile: when they joined and the number of posts. I've seen newbie status on members who joined ten years ago but rarely post.

So true. It is useful to click on the arrow under a members name because sometimes you read a post and you say to yourself 'is that person for real, did they just post that?' and then you see it's a newbie with only one post against their name. I did this recently on a name and it showed the person had joined in 2013 and has less than 30 posts to their name, hence why they have the newbie title still.
 
What is most important is the quality of posts, not the quantity. That’s harder to track. Some forums try to apply a reputation score of sorts.

Edit, I forgot this forum does try to track that.

Since all the posts show up in search engines, perhaps AI will soon be able to (if it can't already) provide a summary of a member's reliability by doing its own fact-checking and taking into account the replies from other members.

And maybe we will finally learn which size of iPad is the best.

I think that can largely be inferred by a user's reaction score: https://forums.macrumors.com/members/?key=highest_reaction_score

You will notice on this list that the majority of the users on it are not high posting members. But the reactions to what they've posted can often far exceed even the members with the highest post counts.
