Default How about a "ladder" of custom user titles ? - 26-01-2004

Currently all the users of this forum have the user title "member" (except the mods). Do you think it would be a good idea to have a sort of scale, that would help recognize regulars and newcomers ? (like the military grade system on Nuclearbox for example). I don't think it would incitate people to spam, since spam is already a clause in the FBRC and we just need to space the different grades by a sufficient value to discourage spamming attempts...

Of course the user titles should not be deprecative at all (i.e, no such thing as "n00b" or "l33t"), it's just to help us recognize the people who contribute the most to Bots United...

This system would not apply to Council members and moderators, goes without saying

What do you think ?

I like the idea, but I don't like to encourage useless replies, like MANY that I have seen on NB. Not sure what to recommend here.

I like the idea too, but Austin has a good point.

Can a ladder function be custom made?

Sure.
We can set the custom titles and the number of posts required for them.
Austin has a good point indeed, I am "rather" pro, but I understand completely the inner downside of this idea.

another problem is that most posts are from council members, or super moderators or ... so IMO also council members and moderators should have this custom title

we could have like the bots represent that ranks..

3000 posts .. realbot
500 ..podbot
200 ..joebot


actually thats kinda boring.. but i think the ranks should be alot and easely understood.. like nOOb is great as beginner..

headshooter/camper/CT/T might be some time later..

however.. i think n00b 1-10 since theres alot of ppl who dont post more then that before they leave. 20-3/40 regular.. up to alot like 2000 posts or even more. like you pmb you already got 700 posts.. what do you got in 2 years time.. if you are still here and the community exists that is

what if you have an dynamic ranking.. if the post count is really high / member time. you get the rank spammer..

over and out..

omg, then i will be a spammer? I saw a few days back i have 8 posts per day at avarage. Sometimes i post way more, sometimes i don't post at all...

Although i like the 'post/rank' idea, there is that downside to the replies. Perhaps we can count 'informative posts' (lets say, posts > 100 words orso) for ranking only? (if at all possible on these boards)

lol, thats only when people KNOW how they get ranked. I bet not everybody reads this how to get ranked... yet there is no decision on it. We simply introduce a ranking system and people should not know how to get ranked, you just get ranked as you behave and not the opposite!

I'm against the "bot style" classification... would it mean that RealBot are better than HPB_bot or PoXBot is better than JoeBot which is better than [insert your favourite bot name here] ?

I'm also against using such words as "n00b" which may sound like an insult and are usually a call for scorning for these people. The user titles should stay informative, but neutral.

I'm too lazy to propose a scheme but if you want to please do
