Random thought

I was thinking that with all the Citizen this and Citizen that who are essentially ignorant of how WC & skinning works, perhaps we should have a citizenship test?

Nothing real hard, just something demonstrating a working knowledge of the site, etc. and administered by a multiple choice questionaire form. If they don't pass the test they are still registered, but aren't entitled to call themselves "Citizen", maybe serf, or knave, or something.

Like I said, just a random thought that happened to strike my keyboard.

hmmm that is a good idea but then it makes one wonder what the title would be fore some of use that remember using punch cards to a computer(over rated calculator) in comparison to now.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Seems it would be bordering on discrimination or something like that.

I would suggest that for those that don't know as much as others there would be a tutorial for them. Like the FAQ

Discrimination? Yup, a title they would have to earn, imagine that!

As for tutorials and FAQ's, they're on their way and are already here in some cases. In addition they would still be registered non-citizens and thus could ask questions on and learn from the folks on the message board.

Besides, it would be fun For those who don't care about the citizen title, it would be no big deal, they'd be able to register anyway. For those who do care, it would be a fun test, especially if we made good questions.

A test not a bad idea. It would be nice if after the test, any questions answered incorrectly would present the testee with a link to the correct answer. That would probably be hard to program, but that's my random though
