Title: How Do Forum Ranks Work?
Post by: Woka on August 14, 2012, 10:32:36 pm
Well, i've been curious on the forum ranking system,all i know is that stranger is when you first join,then once you hit 2days(Or 48hours spent on forums)logged on forums,you'll get regular rank.. i'm not quite sure 'bout that.

Then things like forum rank as manager or admin and stuff like that must be given to you.

But what about Vet,Orc,ARUN(i think that given also),hero and all that,how does that work out.
I'd appreciate it if someone can explain,and maybe others might be curious about this aswell.

They are post-count based unless they are using a mod.

Yes I know that.

They are post-count based unless they are using a mod.

I don't think any mod can do that,unless it hacks into the forum's system,and I guess no one will ever come across something like that

Edit
I read your post wrong.
They're not Post count based

Its still pretty much post count based, the more time you spend time posting/reading, the longer the time gets, as it doesn't count the time you spend AFK'ing on forums.  :devroll:

Yes that is true,your taking time to do those post,or if your working on a topic,even more time.

as it doesn't count the time you spend AFK'ing on forums.  :devroll:

I'm sure if your AFK on forums for a certain amount of time,and you goto a new page,you'll still have the same time.

do you spend like every waking moment on the forum or something like that man

Well your hero,so you must of some put good amount of time into the forums also  :)

Well yes, I think around 40 hours (I don't know how to check on the new layout) but I've been here since 2007. Mario's been here since 2010 and his time triples mine.  :trust:

Then its a mod, SMF natively works with the options of Private, Protected, Requestable, Free (open) and lastly, Post Based.

I've worked with forums like this and you can make your own options on how you rank up.As far as I know,it's based on hours logged or wether your put in that group,like you,you were given the forum rank/group TS Administration by a superior.but what I'm wanting to know is,what does it take to rank up,other words,how many hours is for each rank,or if it may be different.

It was changed from post count to stop people 'playing the system.'

Thats allll we need to know.

By changing from post based to time online, rank hunting becomes a bit harder.

We have time-based ranks for regular members, and apart from that assigned ranks for those with a special role.
