Sonic 295 Posted April 25, 2017 Our forums have seen a lot of changes over the past month. Another of the long overdue changes is an improved ranking system. We have just set up this one.

Nmenth 290 Posted April 25, 2017 1 minute ago, Sonic said: At 1500 content items posted you will be promoted to the Veteran Members Group Oh, you decided to lower the threshold for Veteran Members? Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted April 25, 2017 Yes. 2500 is a lot, not many newer members will get there. 1500 is probably a bit high as well, but I see it as a sort of halfway point. Share this post Link to post
Plok 323 Posted April 25, 2017 Current people with post counts between 1500 and 2499 didn't seem to refresh. Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 290 Posted April 25, 2017 I noticed that as well. Perhaps they need to post again before they will receive the promotion, but I think most of them haven't really been around lately and are unlikely to do so. If it really matters, we can assign the group manually. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted April 25, 2017 I've just checked the profiles in the 1500 and 2499 post range. They all have the correct ranks and are in the Veteran Members group. All seems fine to me. Share this post Link to post
Plok 323 Posted April 25, 2017 Sorry, I see "Members" below their names for most of them (see the likes of Jehal and comander starlin), and the Veteran Members page shows very few additions. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah I stand corrected. On closer inspection some are not displaying correctly. But viewing their profile page shows they are in the Veteran group. Its a minor thing, not a forum breaking bug. Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 39 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I think there may be a rank 30, don't you think Sonic? What about special rankings for those who reach 3000, 4000, 5000, 7500 or even 10000 posts? Edited April 25, 2017 by PurpleGaga27 Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted April 25, 2017 You don't wanna do that really. You'll massage Luk3us' ego for being the forum's leading spammer. It's a title he's held long before my hiatus Share this post Link to post

What about no? Did you not notice that he already reduced the Veteran requirement by 1000 posts because it was reached by so few? Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted April 26, 2017 30 ranks is plenty. We worked on this rank system for a few weeks (on and off). @Nmenth finalised the rank titles and counts, @Plokite_Wolf supplied all the images (They are from Tiberium Wars/Kane's Wrath). My part was to remove the old ranks and set up the new ones. I am considering an option for users to earn extra little awards or moved to a special group when the reach a certain positive reputation level. Just an idea. Share this post Link to post
