are you going to do ?

[kaibrightwing]

are you going to do any ranking system for members who post alot?

if so what style are you going to use?

[Ashley]

We're still considering it, what it would entail, what changes would need to be made. Frankly, I don't really see much of a need for it...seems to be a lot of extra work for such a minor thing. What do you guys think?

[Rashiir]

Um. Maybe some sort of Custom Title thing.

[Razgriz]

Um. Maybe some sort of Custom Title thing.

I second that.

[andyroo]

I third that notion. Actually, I don't really care either way. What ever floats... or sinks.

[Link Antilles]

I fourth that!
...or I think we should get custom titles at 1,000 posts or something like that, but that might encourage spamming.

[shooraijin]

I think it would encourage spamming, too (and I'm #3 on the posting list). Kai, what did you have in mind specifically for ranking? What would it be used for?

[Heaven's Cloud]

Well, Registered Users isn't really the best title y'know? I think that we should have stuff like 'Crazy Poster' 'Amazing Auothor' (my spelling isn't the best at the time) or something like 'I live here'. Or Custom Titles would be good. But that's up to you guys of course.

...or I think we should get custom titles

[Ashley]

custom titles is something the staff has gone back and forth on many times....frankly half of us want it, half of us don't. So we'll see. And don't anyone ask me what side I'm on, I won't tell.

As for the sigs...sigs have always been free reign around here within reason. As long as it isn't patently offensive, and isn't deemed TOO large by the staff, then it's ok. It's a creative outpouring-you're personal touch-and we try not to touch that too much staff-wise. We want our members to feel a sense of individuality and freedom.

I'd throw my lot in with the "you can pick your custom title, but it's gonna be black" camp.

It might be a little odd to the newbies, but if we watch to make sure people aren't putting "Moderator" in their text, it shouldn't be too bad. Besides if a false mod (hmm, I'll stay away from that one ) thrashes a newbie, any user who sees it will PM the newbie and tell them it's not a real mod. Plus if they posted after the person and said: "Dude, (s)he's not a mod, don't listen to 'em." then the chances it would cause trauma to the newbie is next to none. This gives the non-mods a chance to police (like they do anyway with trolls) and if they PM the mods, the troll get's the left foot of fellowship.

I don't think it would cause too many problems, personally. But Ash seems to imply that this would be a lot of work, so I guess it's up to the mods ultimately to see what the trade offs are. Perhaps you should start a poll in general and see what the consinsus is?

Anyway, my $0.02.

Mods could have a shadow or glow on their name, or a different colour to prove that they are a mod, and would therefore make "fake mods" impossible.

Yeah, that's what I mean to say by 'But it's gonna be black' in my previous post. I guess I wasn't clear enough about that.

[Bobtheduck]

I thought you were making a reference to Henry Ford

[MillyFan]

I want a custom title. :glomp:

[kaibrightwing]

sorry i have been busy. Well some ideas are like the macross site has ranks like the military, keiichi.radio has oh my goddess! angel ranking. we could have something like,

scribe
master-scribe
clerk
master-clerk
magistrate
and or whatever you want im not picky i just wondering.

[JediSonic]

I think that we should definitely let people pick their title, and just put mod titles in bold. If we tell the newbies that they are bold at signup, there shouldn't be a problem

[Straylight]

Yeah, makes sense

[Michael]

I'm all for custom titleing.

[Angelchick]

yeah i think thats a good idea custom titles are cool

[JediSonic]

Sweet! :d
