Ranks Options

[Aurora196]

Ranks are cool, but they're often the cause of worthless spamming. And higher ranks don't necessarily mean better/more important/nicer people, and they don't make you cooler (they look cool, but that's it). Costum ranks do show the importance of a person, so I personally don't think it's a good idea to give someone a costum rank when he get an x amount of posts. Only give them to people who deserve them. But that's my opinion, and I'm only saying it because I can't get high post counts (I got around 80 in 2.5 years) , and if I can't get a costum rank that way nobody else should!!! (J/K)

well u need to earn it in some way yes, but if u have like a few 1000 posts, i think you "earn" one, but indeed spam comes to mind here.
so even tho u can get a custom rank by posting, i think it schould be a verry high number.

I agree people shouldn't get a custom rank by spamming their way up to 2000 posts. I think it would be a good idea that when someone reaches 2000 posts, his posts are reviewed; if they're constructive he gets a custom rank, if they're not... His post count is cut in half (without having his posts removed) and he can try again...

[Clazzy]

That just seems like a waste of time, really. It's not like rank is that important to restrict a custom one from people. Nobody really cares about it anyway (well, I don't).

[DeathRay2K]

I agree that that seems like a waste of time, but I don't see why custom ranks should be given out to those who don't do something that attracts the attention of an admin into thinking they really deserve one.

[Bedeage]

A custom rank is generally a sign that you have contributed a lot to the forum, either by being an admin/mod for a long-ish time, or more like wes, with his 1337 mapping skills. Therefore custom rank people are supposed to set an example to newbs. Spamming your way to 2k posts in a year is easily possible, but do you really want to encourage more spam?

[ChielScape]

its not like im doing it for the spam. i like to see how many posts i can make without spamming, its more like a challenge to myself.

[Aurora196]

I think those costum ranks should be handed out to people who who do or did something. This can be modding, making good tutorials, finding out new things in moddings, etc. But also just people who are active, have a high post counts, but never spam, and always try to help other people. So not to everyone, who has over 2000 posts, but only some. In this way, you won't reward the spamming, but the efford in reaching 2000 without spamming. That's just my opinion about this, feel free to flame me about it .

[ChielScape]

it seems you and i think alike, aurora.

[Uufje]

I think that's exactly what Bittah is meaning, we won't reward spam.

[Xenus]

I think that's exactly what Bittah is meaning, we won't reward spam.

I completely agree on that, spam isn't something to be rewarded.

[ChielScape]

its called a post-count, not a spam-count. i like posting, and postcounts, but like everybody else, dont like spam. i think thats the main misunderstanding here.

[Uufje]

Some posts may be spam.

[ChielScape]

thats the risk, one i wish to avoid as much as possible.

[Nimron]

thats the risk, one i wish to avoid as much as possible.

Well then try to avoid posting to much! *hint*

[ChielScape]

i knew someone'd say that -_-

[Gothic Gregg]

There There, its ok don't cry

yer lol, I bet some of some/most of my post are spam, but ill carm down, its just cas there new fourms and the cool.

[ChielScape]

honestly, i dont give a flying f*ck about what ppl think, as long as i get what i deserve.

[Gothic Gregg]

If that comment was directed at me im sorry, I was just beign playfull.

[Clazzy]

To be honest, you don't deserve a rank Chielscape. Considering your spamming abilities, you won't earn one in any unique way.

[ORCACommander]

well those are some nice new ranks and I like how we have compromised on how to get a custom rank but I still prefer it the old way. Maybe I'm just old fashioned in that regard lol

you think EVERYTHING is spam, so plz dont lecture me.
and spamming doesnt have anything to do with abilities.

[DeathRay2K]

A lot of stuff on these forums is spam.

[Clazzy]

Why thank you. I obviously deleted every topic on TumSun because they were too spammy for my liking, didn't I? Oh, wait...
And please enlighten me as to your abilities, I need a laugh.

[Uufje]

Spamming abilities don't say that you will spam daily.
I can spam whenever I want (and with the following warnings) but I try not to do it.

[Roani52]

Well, make a rank with that name for an spammer!

[Crimsonum]

I like these little units below our rankings. But why take the crappy TS light infantry? I would prefer Tiberian Dawn rifle infantry more

[Bittah Commander]

I made those images below the ranks, comments are welcome

You do have somewhat of a point there... Maybe I'll replace it.

[OmegaBolt]

Who cares about ranks? There are many people who post thousands in a few months. People seem to think they deserve alot just for posting.

Woot, im a technician.
