    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.

    This so accurate.
    Lol, thanks!

    EDITED: Changed '&' to 'or'; slight increase on the likes.

    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

    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.
