on the other hand, ranks create a sense of order. Most of the time, Senior and Hero members can be a little more reliable than newbies, and sometimes Jrs.
Some members are spammers, some members have useless posts, and some members' posts are just not helpful.
How can you really tell besides looking at the forum bio or looking at how they generally post.
Even without ranks all of this, spamming, useless posts, etc...will occur.
I care about the quality of my posts.
