RE : Profile post
Whatever the Profile Post is meant to be, it seems to have been misused. Spammers had been using it to post spams, and now new members are using it to post computer questions. Perhaps, management will consider adding a line at the profile box to explain to new members what it is NOT meant for?- davidhk129

another curious question....
I see "points" and "trophy". What are they ? I also see some members are listed as "senior member", some are "active member", and some are "new" etc etc. Other than the "new member" category, what is the measuring tape for the rest ? I cannot find anywhere that explains those. Thank you.- davidhk129
