PhantomHelix Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 lol.....did the poll work then? but seriously, i like the rankings. they show you that you have posted a certain number of times, which trains you to be a better poster over time, and it shows you what level of posting you have......i dunno, i like having ranks.

Pad Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue Nine I wanna make tons of changes. Fix the system so that "degrading" ranks like Bantha Fodder and the like are replaced with something more suitable. Install board mods in the RP forums that don't count posts there. And a few other things...like public caning for spamming....things like that. maybe thats a good idea. its a tough calling about he ranking sysytem. first as teemu said. it keeps ppl active on the forums. but second it could evolve to spam. maybe something like darky said is good. too much spam = decreasing of post count. as for me, i dont care less on my post count now. when i want to reply ill do it. when i dont want to do it or i dont know anything good to post ill keep my mouth shut instead of saying "i agree" "hmmm" "...."

Hekx Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I like the ranks at these forums. It's nice to have variety on each different forums. But of course Sith Probe Droid is 1337. Might take me a few years, but eventually I will gain the title of 'Ewok Hairdresser'. I can only hope and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I'm all for a custom title at... *50 posts* Yes, you read me right. Why? Because it encourages people to stay. When they get confronted with the goal of making 1000 posts in order to do a friggin' custom title, they either spam, or leave. If not 200, then at the most 2-300. Besides, how much does a custom title matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 While many people do spam to increase their post count, there are also a lot of people out there with a lot to say (like me; just look at how many posts i've had since I registered in Sep) who don't spam. I think if you want to keep spam down, report it when you see it. That keeps the spammers out for the most part, and leaves the forum to the rest of us who follow the rules.

Pleases everyone anyway, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomHelix Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 much as you want it to change, it shouldn't it gives ppl a goal to complete. besides, you gotta work hard and be dedicated to gain your custom title, and if you only post 100 times, you wouldn't be very dedicated......btw, for ppl with 1000+ posts, how would you change your title? do you have to contact an admin or mod, or is there a new option under user cp that you can do......

Yes, it gives people a goal - but the goal shouldn't be to reach 1000 posts as soon as possible, but rather to make good, long quality posts. If you give everyone the custom title right away, it'll scare away those guys who do nothing but spam - when there's no incentive to spam, why do it then? PS: It's easy as pie to change your title once you've got it. It's on the same page as your "Location" box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mex Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Yeah damn right, it would be like this Change rank thread "change mine to ooppp" "Change mine to London!" "Change mine to Goku!" Man, that would be nutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no no no noooo! That would cause the mods an untold amount of grief and pain every time Lexx had a sudden change of mind Well, about the custom title issue - would it make people happy if they got their own title at 50 posts? Would it piss some people off if they did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I can't wait for the day I have a custom title. And I'll be there soon, but the point of the matter is I'll feel proud I got there without posting a crap load of spam. Ppl that spam are lamers. Lamers, what a stupid word....
