I think a quiz is a good idea, but not for discriminating between members. I am always up to challenge other members to see where I rank in knowledge, but I think its bad to use it as a prerequisit for posting in a forum or even possibly becoming a member. I believe Phades intentions where to create a community of people with a common interest not an elite society. I would be in favor of creating an elite group within a-m-v.org of members who have provide outstanding contributions or provided more help then normal to other members. By the way a quiz has been suggested several times including by me.
I also believe that even though its annoying and there are guides, I think the forum does provide a unique tool for answering questions. Not everyone has a complete understanding of the english language. Though I understand the guides, there are many who probably wouldn't. People would call those people stupid, as would I, but I still realize that its not everyones forte and flaming posts at least in my case I reserve myself until A member has demonstrated the most laziness or insists upon someone else doing the work for them.
