New "positions"

I love the new "position" tags... but I have a question. I am listed as "Broadway Square", but I have never heard of Broadway Square. What/where is it?
This is something the mods are fully aware of and are trying to address. The nonsense on here has gotten out of hand over the past few months.CrossroadsKid wrote:Those of us who use this to educate ourselves and stay informed about the ongoings in DT have to wade through pages and pages of ridiculous posts to find one tidbit of information.
Like I said above, I don't really care. I just noticed that below my name it said "Strip Mall" and I just sort of laughed b/c seemed almost too perfect in light of the bantering that goes on here. I instantly thought of my fraternity in college where the older guys that got picked on as pledges were always those that gave the newer pledges the hardest time. Seems so juvenile is all I meant.KCN wrote: This is something the mods are fully aware of and are trying to address. The nonsense on here has gotten out of hand over the past few months.
Though I think you might be taking the highrise labels a bit too seriously. They are not meant to award or punish people at all....it's just a fun way of relating number of posts to something local. It's a very common thing on forums (rookie, starter etc on sports forums for example). Really there is nothing more meaningless than post count.
post some more shit on here and quit your bitchin, take out all the banter and agreements, your only left with a couple of constructive Post's to read all day. then you might get something done at work I guess....... get off your high horse and join in a Lil bit, it's okay.CrossroadsKid wrote: I don't really care at all, but it seems strange that you would almost poke fun at those of us that don't incessantly post. I read this thing everyday, yet I only post when I feel I can add something constructive to the discussion. Some people with huge post counts merely add their meaningless two cents to immature banter. I don't think this improves the site at all. In fact, I feel it is largest flaw. Those of us who use this to educate ourselves and stay informed about the ongoings in DT have to wade through pages and pages of ridiculous posts to find one tidbit of information.Â
I understand the logic of having more prominent landmarks, etc., associated with those who have larger post counts, but what good does it do to give me, with a little over 100 posts to date, the title "strip mall," the antithesis of everything I want in this city? Though many on here make fun of fraternities, this seems strangely "fratish." Just a thought for you mods to take into consideration.
