Contribution Level - Please put it back.

Can the supreme beings at ATS please....PLEASE put back the Contribution level instead of the um...whatever it is now? It looked better. It was easier to decipher with a quick glance. Thanks!!

It was a FLAG contribution level, as I understand it. I never did like it. It didn't do anything for me. Is flagging a thread the most important aspect of being a member? Am I to be judged a "good" member simply because I flag threads more often than someone else? I don't think so; it's a rather narrow measurement. Now at least you can get a rough idea of what members' contribution level is overall. Posts, flags, i.e.: Flags earned, stars, and a rather anachronistic measure, Way above top secret, that is no longer used. Now I can tell instantly whether someone has been around awhile and has a relatively good reputation, or if someone just got here and hasn't contributed much. Is this the ENTIRE picture of someone's contributions? Of course not. It's a rough snapshot with just a few metrics and should be taken as such, not gospel. In any case, this was a good move by ATS. Thanks.

it's still there, just not in the form of a gauge
those number's at the bottom of your icon mean something......

Just for clarity, the category was number of flags on threads you created. The act of flagging a thread, while it may be a contribution of sorts, isn't a statistic we were tracking.

Please add your suggestions to the ongoing and monitored thread: ATS/BTS What would you like to see in the future

And please do not start duplicate threads after a previous one has been closed by staff. Thank you.
