Everyone says "I like the rankings, bring them back", but besides just "liking" them, can anyone give any sort of a reason that the rankings are genuinely useful and serve an important function that outweighs their drawbacks?

Well for one it would shut all of us up , and for 2 by not having them its taking away from our valuable chat about our machine that we have kinda put aside over the bbs change the last few days.

Without them it seems kinda dull, and we managed to get this far with them over the years how is taking them away going to make anything better? Its just like in the real world, some people are higher up than others, and its just something you gotta deal with and if your around long enough you get promoted to a higher ranking just like a job, Without them it seems like we are all drones, and personally it kinda make the board feel communism like. I dunno its jsut weird to have something then all of a sudden get it taken away from you.
