Hi Webmaster,
I am sick of pakistan-India comparision. Can you please put hold on such meaningless discussions !! Weapons platforms can be discussed in a little more moderate environment under weapons database and not under which country has what and how it is superior. I think many people will agree with me(including you :coffee )
cheers,
blackhawk

ashblackhawk,

I don't think anyone is more sick of India-pakistan threads than my self but the problem is you can't really stop people from discussing certain stuff related to their countries. However, members from india and pakistan are seriously obsessed with their own respective countries while they totally ignore what is happening in other countries as far as defence is concerned. Even if they look at military developments in Europe or USA, they will still link it to their own countries by any means possible. Frankly, I am sick of this type of blind patriotism and request those members to "open-up" and think out side the border lines for once. As it is, DT is not here to discuss issues related to a particular country or particular region but as an international platform for all types of defence discussions (technical/non-technical).

In Past, we have had this to stop the influx of posts but it hasn't been used for past few months:

Dear webmaster what is the Rep power does it depend on the no. of posts and the joined date but i dont think it depends on that and when i move the cursor to this green dot then i see (nick) is on distuingshed road ????what is all this and what does all this mean

 

[webmaster]

What is rep (reputation) power feature?

The User Reputation system allows your board members to leave comments about one anothers' posts, and thereby contribute to their overall 'reputation'.

User Reputation in its simplest form is a ranking of your user's benefit to your forum. Its basis comes from the opinions of all of your forum users that choose take part in it.

Users gain and lose reputation based on how their posts are scored by other forum participants. Users with the ability to affect reputation, will either give or take aways points by approving or disapproving with a post's content.

I will post the various reputation levels soon.

 

[webmaster]

Register Date Factor
For every 120 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Post Count Factor
