Forum Member status.

Postby Brolli411 » Mon Nov 04, 2002 3:34 pm

I have noticed that on some other message boards/Forums they have such things as "Member in training" or "Senior Member" under the Avatar. Some have it based on how long they have been a member, or how many post they have made. Theses could be a good idea at this site, so people can just see if maybe this member is a newbie. I know I'm not the only one who has clicked a message, then it comes to be a newbie asking for hosting or how to put their video on the site.

I know you can just go into their member info and see for how long they have been a member, but just for the sake of time and to avoid being annoyed. Just a suggestion.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with you. You cannot really tell if someone is new or not just by counting the number of posts he/she made.

I've been here from almost the beginning (member id 529 :)) but I only have a bare hundred of posts (with the new forum): does this make me a newbie? :P

Forum activity is far different from AMV activity and/or experience in general.

Well you do make a point, but like I said, some of the sites evaluated on how long they have been a member too, this could also work out. And if a more complicated approach is made, the two can be combined for maybe a more accurate assumption.

I agree with turboneko. Peoples' obsession with post count is bad enough, no need to add more fuel to the fire by actually giving high and low posters titles.
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Those are ranks. Really they mean nothing and are just for fun. I wouldn't mind employing them personally but make them arbitrary stuff that has nothing to do with anything.

One of the board I am on has lows like...
Chibi
Jusenkyo Tourist
Reelena's Groupi

Highs such as:
Kagato's apprentice
Newtype
Dark Warlord

So like I said, I wouldn't mind employing them but they shouldn't have anything to do with anything.

I see that most people don't like this idea. (duh) You have a good point Kusoyaro. I forgot about the spamming problems that the site has had. With the kind of Spam we get, Klinky could be a Dark Warlord....hahahaa.

Yeah I agree with Kusoyaro and turboneko. Other than what they've said, I think it will put "value" on peoples' posts and that will mislead others. It doesn't matter whether someone is a newbie or not, they can still make a valid point or contribute in some way.

Regarding teh spamming proble, that is a difficulty with the ranks. There was one guy on the board who made a thread with 10 consecutive replies from him alone just so he didn't have to be "Reelena's Groupie" anymore. As for me, I have 5,000+ posts on that board, I'm the top rank...power to me...

if we could get a karma system, that wouldn't be too bad to have ranks based on the karma of a member rather than postcount.

Yep. The Karma System would be cool. Also I think there is already a plugin/hack for phpBB that enables such a Karma system. And for the ranks, maybe we could have the option to choose your own rank, just as some other forums do. Then you couldn't judge people by there ranks, but we would have more place to put information about us, or just for another short wise line'o'text 8)

I agree with you (except for your vegetarian crack. Grr... I don't care about animals; meat is just yucky) Anyway, I'm very new to this forum, and I think I have good opinions! I don't want to be ignored because of a ranking! That is all.

On the other board I am on all the ranks are based on anime titles. Dark Warlord comes from Samurai Troopers (aka Ronin Warriors). The avatar I am using is Naaza: Warlord of Venom from that same show.
