I can't help wondering what the point of the "Members" menu is, with its plethora of rankings and points for individual members.

I do realise it can be seen as just a bit of fun, but it does tend to indicate a "hierarchy" of membership in which some of us are "notable" and others not.

One of the tendencies of forums is for core groups to form and become exclusive rather than inclusive (it's a human anthropological thing, I think, and far from restricted to internet forums).

One of the great strengths of SC/PL has always been the generosity and inclusivity of the membership, and it seems a shame to offer even a small risk to that in this way.

I expect that many people won't care, but I do think it's worth thinking about and so I'll offer it up for discussion.
