Did everybody read the forum at GuiltySpark 343? Did you notice how all the members have rankings like special ops brute and stuff we should have stuff like that at these forums!

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

For what reason? To make everyone feel special?

No, the ranks are deciphered by the means of how many posts you have posted. That would lead to a greater deal of spamming and would not work. It also would degrate those that are new to the forums and the veterans would use it as a symbol of power.

I Believe there used to be a number under your name that showed the number of posts you had made, but due to the explination above that was removed.

No, that's called Member Since.

if there was to be a ranking system, it should be a negative ranking system. for people who spam excessively, flame, etc. and the number of avatars available to you should be limited also. notice i said only negative, since a positive one would only promote sucking up. and i'd rather deal with a spammer than a suck-up.

Or instead of ranking- everyone could have credibility ratings. For example, everytime you spam, your credibility rating would go down. That would stick with someone, and maybe they would think twice about spamming.

Spammers are used to getting banned and creating new accounts, so this wouldn't work.

i don't think the spammers actually care about that. As long as we keep feeding them, they'll be happy. hell, they may actually use for bragging rights.
