[+]Forum ranks.

[Dutchy]

This idea just came up in my mind.
People tend to post useless posts just to rise their post count. And the ranks that are shown underneath your Avatar are based on your post count, which in my perspective, is strange, since the words are referring to kindoff social ranks a person is named after in this community.

Regular Ranks.
Stranger. * (0 posts +)
Regular. ** (50/100 posts +) (forgot this one)
Veteran. *** (500 posts +)
Hero. **** (1000 posts +)

Admin Ranks.
SA:MP / MTA:SA / MTA:VC / VC:MP Moderator. **
SA:MP / MTA:SA / MTA:VC / VC:MP Administrator. *****
SA:MP / MTA:SA / MTA:VC / VC:MP Manager. ***
Community Leader. (*=?)
Webmaster. (*=?)
Owner. *******

Forum Admin Ranks.
Forum Moderator. *****

These ranks are from my head and please fill me in if some of them are not correct..

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that the Normal Member ranks should be changed to the date of registration, not the post count.

EX:

Stranger. * (0 days +)
Regular. ** (1 month +)
Veteran. *** (6 months +)
Hero. **** (1 year +)

And maybe add some more ranks in between..

I need you suggestions and opinions about this..

[Dutchy]

Supported! Will reduce posthunting I think, if they'll remove the postcount itself also it'll be perfect imo.

Well, I think they still need the postcount.. It's just a part of SMF... Without postcount it will be... Idk... :conf:

I don't think this is able to obtain on SMF forums, actually.
Try search trough some addons, Dutchy, maybe you'll find it

Well, on the ARPD and Destruction Derby forums you can manually give people different ranks... So I don't know about time related ranks... Maybe it's something to suggest to the SMF Devs if it doesn't exist already.

[Petar]

YES, please.

only way wud be by manually setting the rank when someone gets that age. hundreds of accounts to do seems like a waste of time

Hmmm... I guess, it's a thing for SMF forums, not for Argonath Forums... Have to get a reply from a webmaster or something, though.

also beside adding in the middle I suggest adding Legend 3+ years.

Sweet, I'd be a Legend :3

And Dutchy, not a bad idea.

That'll keep you from spamming Dutchy
Good idea actually, if possible.

The ranks' not a problem to me anyway, I don't even care about the post counts nor the forum ranks so I'd we stick to the current one.

About the spammers? You all know what to do like you do in-game "Don't moan, /report!".
The forum got a report feature why don't report the spammers?

Nothing special about the forum ranks anyway, I mean the one based on post count, even if you have 10000 posts and have Hero forum rank you won't get an access to the development board so it doesn't matter.

nono, people with 5k posts, that are not admins or a higher rank should have -2 stars saying troll or spammer.
