I should like to suggest an Honours Board where by some agreed nr of votes a member becomes "Gold Standard" or some other suitable term.. I would suggest a maximum of 2 members each calendar year be awarded this honour. What do other members think? Neil	Neil F (14248)

1436228	2017-06-03 21:27:00	True. But each year it would tend to be the same ones. One or two of the more helpful are not here now, Metla for instance.	pctek (84)
1436229	2017-06-04 00:30:00	Yep as PC Tech says.. Some here with good intent will always be knowledgeable and experienced in PC Hardware/Software/Trouble shooting, etc. Because of their living might warrant it (e.g. PC tech, tutor, programmer, etc). hence will have a advanced - and current - skill set, or interest. I greatly appreciate others helping others, particularly in PC tech issues. I mean I could post a mass of PC hardware issues, but I think only select members will be skilled - and experienced to answer with deep insight. Possibly with actual examples. But then some are here to "tell a story", perhaps to complain about a product/service, link to a interesting article, topic, video, etc or to simply ask and perhaps do that well - as evidenced by gathering member's interest, resulting in a lot of meaningful replies. Perhaps such members should be awarded too. Schools do that (part. primary) - Multi level cert's, prizes, so as to accommodate worthiness of most of their students/pupils I guess. Not necessarily just the best, or most helpful, insightful, etc.	kahawai chaser (3545)

1436231	2017-06-04 05:11:00	They're now NZ honours Paul, whether you agree with them or not.	Richard (739)
1436232	2017-06-04 05:34:00	They're now NZ honours Paul, whether you agree with them or not. The British monarch still has to approve them hence the Sirs and Dames..	paulw (1826)
1436233	2017-06-04 05:51:00	Elizabeth II is also the Queen of New Zealand, and approves the recommendations of the Government in that capacity.	Richard (739)
1436234	2017-06-04 06:37:00	Elizabeth II is also the Queen of New Zealand, and approves the recommendations of the Government in that capacity. Shouldn't that read: Elizabeth II is also the Queen of New Zealand, and just Rubber Stamps the recommendations of the Government in that capacity.	B.M. (505)
