My question is, what are the duty of high ranked members?
there is no "duty" here for anyone. people can choose to be kind enough to others to spread the knowledge they have the best way they can. that is all. there is no obligations in my opinion. people are here to discuss, learn, earn, and increase their overall understanding of bitcoin and sometimes cryptocurrencies in general. they can help keep the forum clean by reporting shitposts, reporting account farmers,... as they are already doing in meta board. but there still isn't any obligations, they are doing it because they want a better forum they enjoy participating in.
Should I agree with this fact of yours or not? No I don't agree with you! Reason being that
1) Anybody can report a shitposts to mod, you don't have to be a high ranked member to this.
there is no obligations in my opinion. people are here to discuss, learn, earn, and increase their overall understanding of bitcoin and sometimes cryptocurrencies in general.
2) if this been the case, why don't we just embrace this fact, and forget about the ranking system! Which I know you will never key into.
but there still isn't any obligations, they are doing it because they want a better forum they enjoy participating in.
3) I think we need to face the fact! If there's no obligations in ranking members higher above others, then I see no need for it!
If you as a high rank member can't help me out when I need a help then your rank is useless to me
I don't think I've ever been on a forum that doesn't have some kind of ranking system. You're free to disregard the ranks and weigh the validity of each post based solely on their content, but it seems unlikely that ranks are going away. One thing that's definitely worth considering is that those have have been around for longer will, generally, have more experience. There's a greater likelihood they might be in a better position to make an informed judgment on what constitutes a good or bad post. An experienced member, for example, might point out that this thread doesn't really belong in 'Bitcoin Discussion' because it has nothing to do with Bitcoin and would have been more appropriate to post it in '
' instead.
That's what rank should hopefully reflect, but understandably there are exceptions and it's not a perfect system.
