    Forum Ranks

    Good afternoon, suggestion forum readers.

    Dear administrators,

    It would be nice to have more than five ranks, the highest of which occurs at 500 posts. There are some long-time users who have exceeded multiple thousands of posts (Elementium and Nezoia come to mind, but there are many others with more than 1,000 posts). It would be nice, seeing as this is a forum for people who play an RPG, to have more of an achievement to reach towards; or to at least update the post rank system to reflect these forums having moved so far forward in the last few years.

    My suggestion is simply that there be ten ranks instead of the current five. Five more ranks could be added, with different icons than the small gold stars: perhaps larger, silver (platinum) stars or even different icons altogether? It would be nice if a member's rank increased at 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000 posts.

    One day, someone is actually going to reach those upper echelon numbers. Wouldn't it be nice to "patch" the forums much like the game is patched and expanded to allow for new content, etc?

    Thanks for taking this into consideration. I'm sure there are other users who are of a similar mind. Reaching 1,000 posts in itself is an achievement worth noting.

    Once you exceed 1337 posts you get the "Leet Member" rank.

    Eh, I don't intend to let it slide. I am pretty close now after a couple of years of posting here. Just give me 54 more years and I will reach 10,000 posts!

    I don't think that it emphasizes post count to make titles a bit more fun. A lot of us live for achievement, and having post count ranks updated would be a nice change for the forums.

    This has been brought up by moderators already and I believe is in development.

    Thank you Icey. I'm glad that they are already taking it into consideration. I've thought about it from time to time since people started getting more than 1,000 posts and 500 seemed like a totally different ballpark.
