I seriously needed to update my signature. I'll never forget it, though.

Shouldn't this be in the Septagon? I'm pretty sure it should, but I'm uncertain.

I like soft, sensual kisses. I like to make love.

I dont think aspx forums would support that...

You would find member rankings in php forums.

Nah, it just makes the newcomers feel worse than they already do when they don't understand the meaning of Kitchen 8 or the Flood-Zanzy War.

Hey,
I was just thinking how alot of other forums have rankings of membership based on how many posts you have made or how long you have been a part of the community. I thought it would be interesting to know what you guys thought. Should Bungie.Net incorporate member ranks?

Yeah sorry, it should be in the Septagon. I'm a little tired.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

No, that will lead to super-spammers post stupid crap just to get a higher rank. It is good how it is, strict is Achronos' way of organization. We are all equal so we all cower in the might of the mods, that's just how it is.

Just to claify, I don't support it either. I was just curious to see how others feel.

It depends on how you will rank the members. Based on posts? Never. Anyone can come in here a spam post to acheive some "rank". Maybe like a karma system? Possibly... Or even possibly have the admin/moderator give away star's like it is kindergarden again, and we do nice things we get a star! lol

I wouldn't mind it, but it's not going to make or break my activity in the community.

  • 03.20.2007 6:52 PM PDT

yes. but it shouldn't be based on posts. it should be based on how long you have been a member and you have to post at least like 10 times a day or something. there are ways to do it without spamming.

You know, I've been here longer than a good number of people and I don't even know what that is. I got the main idea but I am still unsure about what happened. =/ I guess I'm not active enough.

HELL NO.

I apologize for capitalizing, but the idea of member ranks makes my blood.

Some forums I see are completely ruined because of this. Members will post, not because they have anything to say, but for the fact it'll bring their post-count up so they can "level up".

It's retarded, and it's never going to happen as Tom (Achronos) is alive.

... But wait, why should I say all of the above, if I can just say "lol ok" just so I can get my count up? Typing this post up is a waste of time.

In any case; NO, that is a terrible idea.

PS: Although member ranks based on total number of posts is retarded, it'd be alright if we could have ways of showing that users are good members to the community and what-not. Just put it in their profile or something, but having a badge available for all to be seen on the public forums just spawns elitism.

But then again, special ranks are bad all-together. I'm just happy to be part of the community. I don't need to show-off any rankings :]

Like wise, to be honest, I think custom member titles about how many posts the user has encourage spam; and alot of sites keep them just to show that maybe the site is active.

That being said Karma systems are quite good, but really they only work on small communities; nothing like that would work on Bungie.

We have ranks, they are just hard to climb. It can be done though, I'm living proof that mugs get promoted.
