Oh hush. I'm not gonna bash anything that gets us moar posts.
I was once a speedy poster myself, so I understand where you're coming from. But you don't have to worry, it's not like the mods are going to remove ranks any time soon.
I'm just saying, the ranks are a big reason to stick around, you make "progress" on these boards CONpared to other alternatives, where in reality you don't feel like you ever accomplish much by posting. It's not the only reason people stick around, but I do feel that it helps.
