Suggestion.....
1. Helpers should be decided on how much they really can help, true knowledge on the specific STB's they are testing, etc..., not how long they've been posting or how many posts they've had. A person can come to this site never having posted before but can be a genius in the field of FTA recievers thus maybe will know more than some people given that title as helper.
2. I think before giving anybody a title of helper, they should be asked because maybe some don't want to be put on the spot as was the case with Peggy, who said she was not ready.
3. The main members on this site should know who knows what by now so titles should be based on what the main members think what title a person should be given, not by amount of posts.
Anyhow, take me for instance...I haven't been here that long but I have gotten to know my CW600s Premium pretty good, I'm a quick learner but I still wouldn't want the title of helper despite how good I get to know my machine....I rather just help anyway I can and when I can.
Anyhow as with everything else in America, you guys/gals should make up a board of people who vote on certain things. Sometimes changes are good and sometimes they are bad. I belong to another forum...sports...and we hate it when they would change things. Just when you got used to one change, along came another....most of the changes to forums aren't really that good.....IMO.
Oh well...these are just suggestions and something to think about.

i agree with cholito's thoughts on number 3. i don't have a high post count, but only because i go to alot of sites and i am a super mod on a couple of them. but i always stop by here usually once a day. and i see no reason to make a post when a question has already been answered. to post something like "you do what so and so told you and you'll be fine
' is a total waste of a post and time and just another way of post whoring. don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining, i love this site, this site helped me so much way back in the beginning of my fta experiences. hell i was so scared of asking a "dumb" question, i used a friends account here for over a year before i registered. jmo
