Member Levels

~cornys~ · Aug 29, 2009 10:28 PM

I know that there are the levels of Admin. and Member but I was wondering if mabey we could make levels of members acording to how many posts they have or Gems they own. This way mabey people will post more often and keep the board a little more active in down times.... Probably not... but I'm trying... lol

Despite what I may have said in the past (about ranks causing people to spam to get their post counts up so they can move to the next rank, etc) I'm starting to think this is actually a good idea. It would give people more of an incentive come here, post, and stick around for a while, I think, if they had some kind of goal to work towards.

Now to come up with some names for the different ranks....

~cornys~ · Aug 30, 2009 1:00 AM

lol.. here's what I was thiknking...

New Commer: 24 or less Posts (or 499 gems)
Sparx: 25-99 Posts (or 500- 4,999 gems)
Hunter: 100-199 Posts (or 5,000- 9,999 gems)
Young Dragon: 200- 499 Posts (or 10,000 Gems- 24,999 Gems)
Trained Dragon: 500- 999 Posts (or 25,000- 49,999 Gems)
Cynder: 1,000- 1,999 Posts (or 50,000 Gems to 99,999 Gems)
Spyro: 2,000 + Posts (or 100,000 Gems)

I don't know which way to do that since the gems could be spent from time to time.... though it never happened

Also as another idea (if this is adopted) go with 2 ranking Systems.... one with names based in LOS and The Orig. (same values with different names) you could even have a villan on for both in addition... you'd just get to pick which path to go with and you could switch at anytime... lol... that would be interesting...

I have presented this idea to the admin, and we are considering it. I think it will be a fine idea because we have the mods available to control high amounts of spamming. I certainly won't allow it for very long.

~cornys~ · Sep 05, 2009 3:39 PM

yeah... I knew most of you used to be against it before but I figured that now with the mods being pretty in controle it would be a non issue.... and if it ran off of gems it might not only make people stick around it would also make them elaberate more... mabey... lol... who knows how everybody will recact smile

The forum has run just fine without the ranks for a time, and they have had issues with it in the past, but with a solid moderating crew and a pretty good base of normal users I'm pretty sure everyone can handle it to a degree tongue

cynderfan · Sep 06, 2009 6:47 AM

They do this on Pokemon Elite 2000 and Dragon Cave, sadly my Dragon Cave account has been hacked so yes...And on Pokemon Elite 2000 there's like 50 people or more on-line at a time!

~cornys~ · Sep 06, 2009 3:23 PM

lol... could you see how hard to moderate it would be if there were 50 people on at one time? lol... it would not be hardly possble... (for 4 people)

Stormy · Sep 06, 2009 7:19 PM

Well, RedDragonX and I are currently working on some ranks and titles. We'll get back to you guys when we're done. (:

Akon · Sep 06, 2009 10:16 PM

I can't wait to see them, I know I'll participate more. smile

~cornys~ · Sep 12, 2009 2:01 AM

Yeah... me too really..... I don't exactly have the time to do much right about now but once I do get the time I'll definitly feel like posting here is more important than it was before.... not that in much honestly it would mean something..... but it will make it at least fell this way smile

Thanks guys for all of the work...

RedDragonX · Sep 12, 2009 2:18 AM

We're about halfway done with making them. They will be done soon don't worry smile

~cornys~ · Sep 12, 2009 2:20 AM

Ok smile cool smile

We are probably going to see a few glitches comming from it at first.... or mabey not.... lol... hope not rather

Cynder is cute · Sep 12, 2009 5:30 PM

I was thinking about the same idea.

I remember when we did have ranks. It sort of gave me a purpose in posting. I was a senior in posting, I think.
Well, I'll be waiting then.

~cornys~ · Sep 15, 2009 7:25 PM

lol... yeah (notices that this will be my 500th post smile lol)

I didn't know that we even ever did have ranks before..... lol..... cool.....

isn't it ironic that my 500th post would be discussing posting.... lol

MrXLink · Sep 15, 2009 7:51 PM

Dwahahah! This "Sparx" is gonna get lotsa higher! Lemme at least become a dragon wink
For the moderators: Put the spamming fee higher so we don't get spammers for rankings!

A Guy · Sep 15, 2009 10:14 PM

Spamming isn't counted in post counts...

Anyways, I'm not sure about this, it seems rather elitist to me, and very much inflates the importance of a post count.

RedDragonX · Sep 15, 2009 11:33 PM

It's simple, if we catch you spamming we will reduce your post count to Zero. Problem solved.

cynderfan · Sep 16, 2009 5:50 AM

RedDragonX · Sep 16, 2009 2:50 PM

I don't have to say that you guys are safe in the Spam section lol, you've always known that tongue . Anyways the member levels are complete and all, just have to wait for Spyrorocks to implement them.

~cornys~ · Sep 16, 2009 7:43 PM

ok... cool smile

Can't wait.... It rewards people for their contribution.... and lol.... that's one strick spaming penalty smile lol... but how else could you do it?

nintendofreak · Sep 16, 2009 7:57 PM

If it wasn't strict enough people would just spam up the place. So I think thats a pretty fair punishment to keep people from spamming. I'm looking forward to the ranking system.

MrXLink · Sep 16, 2009 7:58 PM

Are it the same ranks as ~cornys~ said? Or will there be new ones?

RedDragonX · Sep 16, 2009 8:00 PM

Well I came up with the basis for these ranks without any knowledge of the older system, so I assume they are different from before.
