That's a bit absurd. Judging the worthiness of someone by their rank. Neutral. You are fairly new to the community at large. I wish to see you more on the forums, and in a good way. If you prove yourself, you will have my support.
I understand my forums account is new, but overall I'm not new to the community. I have played for almost 3 years now, and while I didn't have an account, I did read the forums. So yes to the forums, yes I am fairly new, but to the server I have been playing for quite a while.
A rank does not determine how active someone is. Does a God rank determine how active someone is ingame? The Active Member is just a rank, it does not actually mean someone is active. There are many "Active Members" that have not been on for a year, does that still mean they are active when they have that title? No. Active Member is just a rank/title, it's meaningless. It is probably because of the name of the title that people are confused with it. If it was called something else, like "Cool Member", there wouldn't be this confusion. But if you judgement on someone is their rank/title, that is the way you have it. And if you feel strongly about it, I cannot change your mind. We can only agree to disagree.
