Improving the site: Veteran and Scout

[quote=Pwnzor1130]One of the things that drive people to discredit MOBAFire is the lack of highly rated guides that are actually of a decent quality. Well, what can we do to improve this? I suggest that Veteran and Scout should be separated in order to increase the amount of quality control on the site. Veterans should NOT automatically get the same privileges that a scout does. Veteran should merely be a measure of activity or popularity and scout should be related to actually player knowledge or skill. Thus I suggest that in order to qualify for scout a member of the site should take a basic competency test of some kind. As another method of becoming a scout a member can be recommended based on certain criteria (i.e. high elo). Any thoughts or suggestions? Do you agree or disagree? Let me know here.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. We've discussed separating the vets/scouts into something based on ELO and the consensus was a resounding "No" We're currently discussing something else in the vet forums that deals with power. Dunno where it's gonna go though.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]discussions aside, I actually agree with this idea...titles related to promoting guides should be based on general knowledge of the game/theory and ability to play...not popularity.[/quote]

[quote=CasterMaster]What happens if the player has skill/total knowledge of the game [b]AND[/b] is constantly active and popular? Then it could be possible another class is created?[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]You get both titles, I assume?[/quote]

[quote=CasterMaster]I'd like my name to be rainbow colored[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Voted yes.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]I agree but trust me it will never, ever happen.[/quote]

[quote=CasterMaster]If you'd ask me, a professional and skilled player should receive the class [b]"Elite"[/b] while only those who are both professional, skilled, contributional and active [b]THEN[/b] get the title [color=green]Veteran[/color][/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]You've got this all the wrong way around, hommie. It's not the old vets that are doing wrong, it's the new scouts. Old vets at least +rec'd guides they knew were good. Current scouts just +scout anything that *looks* good.[/quote]
