I think Scott has struck on an interesting and simple idea. And as he stated and you acknowledged, no one would dismiss their technical information just due to that, anymore than they would due to their low post count or "L98" rating.

But if someone is saying "Hey, the Registry website is way out of date, someone should get off their lazy *** and update it" or "the current state of the newsletters is shameful", it seems that their membership status is rather more relevant.

Forum members are already grouped by their membership status for access to members-only areas. This would simply make it more visible to others.
