[F] Forum Rank

Post by energizerspark »

So in the FAQ it says this:
"One of them may be an image associated with your rank, generally in the form of stars, blocks or dots, indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the board."
Is it possible to add this? Or maybe a rank system that says things like 'Senior Member' or 'Newbie' depending on your post count? That sort of thing?

But wouldn't that encourage post-count-trolls to make more pointless flood-posting, just to raise that rank? :|

I guess? Another forum I visit does something like that, but we use inside jokes as our forum ranks. (Though, tbh, I don't see how it would benefit here at all...)

That's precisely why there currently aren't, and I don't plan on changing that ;-)

Hmm. Maybe a trial rank that shows how many trials you've made? Or maybe it could change depending on how many featured trials you have? That would make it unique to this forum and it could inspire people to make more trials.

Something related to featured trials could be good, yes, but it'd be a pain to actually implement on the site, since it'd require me to modify deeps parts of the forum software...

So, sorry, but I think it'll just stay as it is : only special ranks for team members :-)

Maybe rather than word-titles, a star for each featured trial? Not that it's a very important feature, tho xP

The same holds, so I'll just quote myself :
