If you think that official MM's are the less-trusted version of elites (which is what pureblood said he thought), then you are not thinking straight...
regular members are not going to give more trust to elites than to official MMs...they will think of them with the exact same trust, no matter what you do...its simple, and I dont see how you dont understand that...
you cant just tell people to trust elites more than official MMs...even if they did, it is pointless...it is placing unwarranted trust in the hands of peopel who do not yet deserve it...
if someone is trusted enough to be an official MM, then in my eyes they should be trusted enough to be an elite...if not, then leave them a regular member until they are...there is no need to jump the gun and make them special when they dont deserve it...

another reason I have heard for having the official MMs is that it clearly outlines the people who still MM...leaving allanon out of the list makes it more clear that he doesnt MM and whatnot...
well, why not just get rid of the official MMs completely and just have elites...then, in place of the official MM thread in the for sale / wanted section...make a list of the current elites and then next to each name write "Currently MMing" or "currently does not MM"...or something of the sort...
very simple, very effective...

there is absolutely no need for having 2 groups of trust...no matter how you want to seperate the trust they recieve from normal members, it will not be successful...[/quote]
