I approve Mulie's idea for the most part. The only thing I disapprove about your suggestion is the fact that skill shouldn't effect whether one deserves veteran status or not. But then again, it's depends how we define a veteran.

The current requirements seem to focus around whether a member is active in terms of member length and FFR-wise. If eliteness was ever considered in "veteran" status, I think it's best to make a separate status for the elites, but again that's just my opinion.

But then again, that's separating the elites from the community which is highly discouraged. So, basically eliteness shouldn't be a factor regardless of the situation.
