I've noticed more and more lately that there's a very fine line in quality beetween pro tuner and advanced, and with quite a few chops in both Advanced and Elite, so I'm just wondering, is there really room for two forums above Pro tuner? Some of the Pro tuner chops are really close to Elite, and a few Eelite are just slightly better than Pro tuner. So, do we need Advanced at all? Or do we need Elite, maybe put the good ones from Elite in Hof, and the bad ones in advanced
Intermediate really means 'in the middle' but right now inter is quite low compared to Elite. Pro tuner is more in the middle of the forum, and the quality of the chops are also quite 'inter' compared to the really good Elite choppers. It just seems to me that there coul be too much work for the mods too keep track of so many levels.

i think the reason for this was because of how active and popular the forum is

OK, that makes sense, but then maybe we should rename them ? Inter is not 'inter' qualitywise.

I think problem is not "too many levels on the forum",I think problem is that choppers are not arranged corectly.I mean,there is some Intermediate tuners,and they are very good choppers,and they are still inter...

And zykotec,I like your idea,maybe we should rename them?

Thanks for the thread Zykotek

One of the main reasons that we have 5 showrooms is that we need that fine line in between chopper levels to determine who is eligible to do client projects for Autemo.

If we split the entire forum userbase into 3 sections, that introduces a broader range in each showroom meaning that we could select a chopper to do a project who has only just made it into the corresponding showroom. Plus, the higher number of ranks means a larger incentive for people to push themselves to become better at this.

We also appreciate that the chopper promotions are still a bit in the water, but it's something we're slowly sorting out bit by bit so don't worry too much about that. We're constantly on the lookout for people to promote/demote in to the correct showroom.

No problem, it's just an observation/suggestion.
