Title: Posting Ranks
Post by: Arnox on May 17, 2014, 11:55:54 pm
So we have 5 posting ranks at the moment. They are:

Newbie: 0-49 Posts
Jr. Member: 50-99
Full Member: 100-249
Sr. Member: 250-499
Hero Member: 500-Infinity

Should we change them or are they good enough?

there is absolutely no need for posting ranks...they are absolutely meaningless.  if some asstard makes 5,000 posts with no content other than some stupid internet meme the poster still has less value than someone who makes 2 posts with constructive and useful content

edit:  it also encourages retards to make meaningless posts for no reason other to make their post counts go up

I'd make the gaps a bit larger

0-99
100-249
250-499
500-999
1000-2499

etc

That would count as spam and he would be infracted for such.

it also encourages retards to make meaningless posts for no reason other to make their post counts go up
Even if there's no posting ranks, the post count is still there. And retards will be retards no matter what you do. In the end it's just a fun thing.

I'd make the gaps a bit larger

0-99
100-249
250-499
500-999
1000-2499

etc
OK, so you would like to keep the Post Ranks but change the values for them, right?

it wouldnt be spam if it is 5000 posts spread out over multiple threads.  again...you miss the point

What's the point of this?

Maybe I'm still missing the point. If he posts spam just once, he gets a warning. Another time even a week after, he gets a ban. Another time, he gets an even longer ban. In terms of garbage posts, again, he'll still post them no matter if there's posting ranks or not.

As to why, as I said, it's just a fun thing, like signatures and avatars.

example: hazza had a billion posts.  the majority of which were idiotic memes of one sort or another.  virtually valueless content

if there is no purpose or use than why waste the time?  its your sandbox...if you want to poop in in no one can stop you

lol Dude, you're so confusing me. Posting ranks are for fun. Nothing else. How would having no posting ranks on totse2 make Hazza stop posting virtually valueless content? How are putting up posting ranks pooping in the sandbox? It's just acknowledging something that's already there with an easy-to-refer-to-title.

Bump.

More of you people need to vote on this or else I'm gonna decide for myself what I want for posting ranks.

What do you have in mind? We haven't seen a proposal yet. We can then offer our input, but it is hard to come up with a new system with no baseline.

Well, as I said, first we need to decide if we want to keep the current post ranks, put in the old ones, or make new ones.

At least expand on them. 500 posts is way too low of a minimum to reach the highest rank. A member with no life and an agenda can hit that in a week.

Yeah, that's gonna be done, whichever one we choose.
