Just for clarification in order to get a "yellow name" you must make posts which are helpful, positive, funny, informative, interesting, etc. Then a person with a yellow or red name will rate your post up (called a scholar and sage respectively). Once your agerage post score is above 3.0 (i believe) you can become a scholar and rate other people's posts.
Just to note I agree with what your post is saying but please try to tone the flames down a little. Flames and ignorant unhelpful comments are a sure way of getting your posts rated down and all hopes of being a scholar yourself. Also making an entierly new thread just to flame someone else is not a great idea, try to post your ideas under one of tupekupe's threads so as to not flood the forum with more useless posts.
