Same here. It’s not really that hard; you just have to come often and post stuff more useful than @Jonny_Tan, @Butternubs, or @enothecool, which anyone can (no offense, Jonny Tan).
Some ideas for keeping people from becoming regulars by spamming the chit-chat threads:
- You need X hearts/post created in the last 100 days. (Hearts and posts more than 100 days ago don’t count.)
- Visiting/reading posts in/time spent in/posting in/creating Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill threads doesn’t count toward your requirement, like hearts in DMs don’t count toward your heart requirement.
- You need X solutions in the last 100 days.
- You need X solution/post in the last 100 days. (Solutions and posts more than 100 days ago don’t count.)
Or you could grant Regulars the power to merge topics but not to rename, etc. them, so we don’t have
And you wouldn’t have ten topics a month all about the same PID problem since Regulars could merge them.
