As far as I am concerned all members make an equal contribution in their own way and no one person should be singled out as being better than another.
I am not sure now either Meg.
I have a feeling it was something about which members we would like to get to know better and why.
I even remember myself being voted for, but the voting thing got closed (I think).
Edited to say:
Yay, I've found it. I'm not going bonkers after all.

Re: Pecking order.
Oh dear, not the old "clique" thing again. . .
As far as I'm concerned, some people frequently inhabit certain sections e.g. the political threads and Brexit stuff.
Does that make them part of a 'clique'?
Others like the Games, or Beauty, Gardening or Animals - are they all in 'cliques' as well?
Are members not allowed to make friends with those who share the same things anymore?

It isn't, as you say, Mups, a clique, but that thought might come about by someone feeling their posts are ignored.
What would go a long way to preventing that is to have a 'thanks' button, or some way of acknowledging that you've read someone's post.
Ok, you could post a reply, but very often, a post might not be necessary, and too many posts saying 'I agree' might clog up a thread, but seeing that people have read and acknowledged your post would do away with that.
Many's the time I've wished I could thank a post without really having anything to add as such.
