>><<For anyone who does not know, on the forums blue names indicate players who have consistently contributed to the community to the point that staff consider them reliable and helpful sources of information overall.
>>I thought blue names were voted on by other players as helpful posters during a one time forum event somewhere around 15+ years ago, and there have been no additions since. I.e. I don't think it can be considered anywhere close to being an active program, which is sort of what your statement implies.
So, I don't know if this is true or not (that the blue-name program is defunct) but I do feel it needs revision. I have at least three blue-names on my ignore list because all they do is pick fights and shame people for asking questions/making suggestions. My preiminary suggestion for the system would be to wipe all current blues and make all Mentors blue.
