MIGIPEDIA: User names

MIGIPEDIA: Nutzerbezeichnungen

Sometimes I really wonder what the people who came up with the user names on Migipedia were thinking. I've just come across another questionable one: Someone has just sent 2 posts and the system is already calling them a super member.

You really have to ask yourself what these user designations are actually for. Or rather: I would like to ask the Migipedia team what this is all about and why these arbitrary designations are not finally replaced by simple designations such as "Migipedia user" or "active user". Such neutral designations would make it easier to differentiate between "Community Manager" and users, especially "Blocked User". After three months of inactivity, the system could also classify an "Active user" as an "Inactive user".

Do I sense a little jealousy there?

We, the "old guys" still had to work for our status. Before, on the old platform, you could work your way up in no time. Most users reached Diamond status and Platinum status with text was reserved for me.
I was once told at an event: "If you get more involved in the ideas and crowdsourcing, you can still climb the ladder!" But unfortunately, I'm not the idea person, but rather the one who documents, criticizes, responds and links. It's been ~ three years, that's why it stays at that status.

The posts only affect the forum and not the product descriptions, and these still vary depending on the output device and time period, as sometimes parts of the system are disconnected. For example, the total number of likes received on the iMac, iPad Pro and Air now shows 2994 and on the iPhone 1131.

Here are my private statistics, which you are welcome to compare with yours if you like!

Best regards

Hello @Frederica

No, it has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy. It has more to do with annoyance at this leftover, unnecessary gimmick. I am well aware that in the old Migipedia, when the pyramid still existed, you used to post articles at the drop of a hat just so as not to lose your first rank.

And I also remember well when you congratulated Imperator when he reached "M-VIP" status. Which is to say: these user designations are important to you (and perhaps to others). Some people may also think that these designations make them special, even privileged. But this should not be the case and therefore these status designations should be abolished in the same way as the portraits have thankfully already been.

I would also like to thank you for your response, including the presentation of your statistics. Hopefully this will now also show the Migipedia team that there is a need for action.

Hello @AlMiDeCoLi and @Frederica

Thank you for your messages. The input that the rank distribution concept could be improved is always taken up on Migipedia and also via email. You are right: it certainly makes sense for us on the Migipedia team to check whether the current ranking distribution on Migipedia is still appropriate and up-to-date. As you can imagine, we can't do this overnight. But we are taking care of it. If you have any input or ideas in this regard, they are of course welcome :) Best wishes and have a good weekend, Tabi
