We need more ranks before Behemoth xD


This.

Not to encourage spam,but having ranks would be awesome :P Maybe every 500 Posts? IMO,keep the 1000 = Patron Member,and from that point for every 500posts you get a new Rank :D

Whats the point? Nothing really,but some of the ranks could be pretty funny.(Ex: Dom's Slut)Hope Ryoko reads this :D

I'm pretty sure we had a discussion about this before and they won't change the rankings ever again.

http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=87791&p=1146910&hilit=post+count+rank#p1146910

^not sure if its the most recent thread. But like people say in there, we can't keep increasing the scale because pretty soon even 3000 posts isn't "veteran" or "elite" anymore.

The ranks don't have to be about being "Pro","Elite". Was thinking more of funny titles.

than leave it at the vet/elite. add funny names for ppl that post beyond that.

I doubt anyone will actually try to "lvl up" their rank here... even on a super bored day for me I can only handle like posting 10 times before getting bored.

Best thing would be to let people put what ever they want as a rank when they get like 2k+. You know how long it took us to get new smilies here? If anything new ranks should get in line behind a bbcode youtube button. << THAT is what the people want!

I like the idea of ranks, but at the same time, I dont want your post count to dictate who you are on these forums. You can have 10k posts and still be the biggest dic.k in the forum. Quality not Quantity ^_^

That's as simple as this.

Idk why that hasn't happened yet lol

That's the standard Phpbb 3 Admin page also so they should definitely have that option

Going back and thinking about this a little more i think that it would encourage spam if the rewards werent spaced out enough. Just something to think about.

Yeah thats why I suggested a rank for every 500 posts or so. I remember being a big reader of a french gaming forum(MondesPersistants) and there you'd get a new rank every 50 posts :P Spam was everywhere.

Rep system wouldn't go astray.
Would separate the weak from the strong (mature from immature)

500 sounds good for most people, but i suppose you're going to have your exceptions. I think we know who they are.

That's really ridiculous that you say "srsly something wrong with you guys?" when all we are doing is wondering why it is taking you guys 7 months to add 2 buttons.

Look at the date of that post. That thread was made before Cin was made an admin. It was created at a time that there was barely any activity, and the only admins that were around, weren't doing shit. The other mods had not the ability to add such features, regardless of whether they requested it in the Moderation Forums. If you even bothered to read the thing you'd have seen that we thought it was a good idea, but that we lacked the admin to implement them. If you are still bitter about that, redirect all you QQ'ing to the admins that should have been more active at that time.

Right after this thread was created, Cin was the one who created another thread in the mods forum section to discuss this, and many others stepped in to come up with ways to make it better. What ranks and at how many posts, or whether we should let the community decide on the ranks (Which kind of reminds me of the community whining about events, and Cin and me coming up with a bunch, and in the end, no one gives a damn).

Therefore I suggest being a little more patient, and a little more polite. Like Cin said, this is our own spare time we sacrifice. And right now you're attacking the one moderator that, far above all, wanted to make the forum in the way the community would like it.
And, not unimportant, he's the only one that can add these juvenile features you all seem to crave so much.
I think you're kicking the wrong shins here.
