Hai. 'm pretty sure you're all familiar with the ranking system, right? Some people have The End, Legend, Cutter, and so on. Yeah they're not too bad to have, but I thought we could make it a little bit SSL-Related. I thought of this idea since other gaming forums have the ranks that're related to the game. If it was a Mario forum for Ex: Goomba (1), Super Star (11), Bean Goomba (0), and so on. I've tried to brainstorm a few titles, if you have any ideas I can add yours! P.S. 15 rank is too much, so I reduced it to 10. P.S.2. I made each one a little bit harder to accomplish, and I have increased the range of posts so senior members can enjoy....somewhat. The likes are a little bit high compared to the posts. This is done to prevent random spamming. Lv1 (0) - A member with no activity. Shot (1) - A member with 50 posts or 35 likes. Bounder (2) - A member with 130 posts or 80 likes. Rampage (3) - A member with 200 posts or 100 likes. Fiveball (4) - A member with 350 posts or 160 likes. Artillery (5) - A member with 500 posts or 200 likes. Armored (6) - A member with 700 posts or 350 likes. Pyrotechnics (7) - A member with 1000 posts or 700 likes. Prestige (8) - A member with 1500 posts or 1200 likes. its getting hard. ShellShocker (9) - A member with 2300 posts or 1500 likes. ShellShock Master/SSL Master (10) - A member with 3500 posts or 3500 likes. Some of these are pretty tough to achieve considering the Off-Topic posts don't count. But you must have SSL-related posts to earn SSL-related ranks, right? Feedback is appreciated.
I think the "&" between posts and likes should be "or." Some posters don't post much because when they post, they make sure it counts and receive a lot of likes for them. With your current system, I could be nearly Prestige (9) with my likes, but am nearly just Fiveball (4) with posts. Very unbalanced. Also, it is a good idea to relate the ranks more to ShellShock, but perhaps better names could be made for the ranks. Half of them really make no sense. Let's try this: Turk (0) - No posts nor likes. Kick From Game (1) - 1 post or 1 like. Consider Kicking From Game (2) - 5 posts or 5 likes. Consider Kicking From Game if You Have Deluxe (3) - 20 posts or 25 likes. Reinforced Barrel User (4) - 50 posts or 75 likes. Unnecessary Gold Reinforced Barrel User (5) - 100 posts or 150 likes. Buyer (6) - 200 posts or 250 likes. Stop Taking My Crates with Your Stupid Grappling Hook I Hate You So Much (7) - 500 posts or 700 likes. Why Did You Buy Weapon Pack 2 I Hate You Even More Now (8) - 1000 posts or 1250 likes. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GET THE X2 I'M KICKING YOU OUT (9) - 2000 posts or 2500 likes. Gold... Rims? GOLD F***IN' RIMS? AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (10) - 3000+ posts or 4000+ likes. Definitely SSL2 related. For sure.
Kind of what King is saying, I have a two likes to one post ratio at the time of this post it would be 298 messages and 609 likes
I don't care much for ranks, they could get deleted for all I know.. Ppl tend to post a lot of unrelated stuff in a lot of threads just to achieve a new rank. Kinda like I am doing now, although this isn't off-topic, since it's my opinion based on the suggestion. But I am so close to 500 messages haha
Yeah i don't care much about ranks either... i don't even complain to the mods that my rank is not accurate. I just post when i think its necessary... like now when i feel the necessity to quote this: lmao
So I'm a shellshocker ... YEAH BABY! I'm also a "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GET THE X2 I'M KICKING YOU OUT (9) - 2000 posts or 2500 likes." on KingKyd's ranking which all I have to say to that is ... Yeah Baby! So lets do it kChamp. but um very cool idea.
I would switch pyro with prestige, because pyro means prestige 4 right? So thats pretty much HIGHER then prestige
I never said Prestige one. By prestige, I mean like, an overall prestige. Basically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 at the same time.
Nice idea... I like it.. although currently my rank 7 would be demoted to rank 3 (so Id like to formally request the community like this post approx 500 times so I can keep my current ranking ^ ^
