Unlike the elite in the real world, the elite here at ATS have to earn that status.
Either way, your're still "elite"
Right?

It should be noted that the gold or silver as a simple measure of flags isn't very valuable.
I mean, get one flag a year and sooner or later you'll be blessed with a color coded status.
It's not like the Olympics or anything. Just hang on long enough and "elite" status hits you by pretty much default.
Not very awe inspiring. It's like a field day ribbon for participation. lol.

we had the "lap ribbons" in grade school. Every 10 laps you ran around the play ground you get a ribbon that said 10 laps, 20 laps, 30laps and so on. it would last all year round. Everyone in school tryed there hardest to have the highest and most rare ribbon. How dumb were we. lol

I had a look..
I think the criteria is simply who ATS choose to select..
Their choice I guess.

I betcha TPTB (slayer and them) didn't hang on at one flag per year. These dudes contribute thoroughly, at least that's what all those thousands of posts mean. Oh and by the way, I am now calling the goldies and silvers TPTB, just because I think it's funny. I am a shmuck.

Im sure they didnt.
But they could have.
Springer called it out as untrue and cited himself as example.
Whether it's one flag a year or one flag every 20 years eventually the poster will reach "gold" and gold is gold is gold.
Unless I don't understand how one becomes "gold". Which is likely enough given I've never bothered to read what earns "gold". I've just sort of licked it off the air through reading posts here and there.

Well if you look at the top 50 it's hard to work out how they are decided..
It's not the "W" figure though that seems partially relevant but leaves a lot of posters out..
It's not "Flags" as some in the top 50 have less flags than others that are not..
I say it's just ATS deciding who they want in the list..
