I hope this is ''understandable'' written?! That is the point of a Ladder system. The user will move up the groups when they have enough posts. If you do not want this to happen then simply change the higher groups to be non-ladder groups. This will mean people will not be automatically promoted and demoted by the system. They will only be promoted/demoted when an admin changes their group, regardless to how many or few posts they have.

Scotty32, I do not completely agree. Yes, that is the point of a ladder system. But what is the point of an admin? If an admin has promoted a user to a higher ladder group without increasing the post number for some reason, the ladder system should understand that an admin has modified that user and so, the system is not allowed to demote him.

Or, there could be a switch in the user profile and/or ladder system settings that can enable the flexibility of making a choice whether this member can be demoted in the future based on the ladder rules?

How does this sound?

ya i know it is a workaround. But not what i wrote above. Thanks MrTWS

In version 10 you will be able to create multiple ladder systems, which should be useful for clan and gaming sites.

The new ladder systems will be based on points rather than post count, so if you want to promote or demote users then you can increase or decrease the number of points that user has.
