I think that we should have different ranks than just junior member, member, and senior member. It is really hard to get to senior member and a lot of people just get stuck on member. I think we should have ranks like private, corporal, lieutenant, captian, saergent, centurion, senator, and consul. They arent in any particular order but those are just some ranks i thought of.
Well actually that's what makes Senior badge special. Such classification would only be through automation according to the patron's postcounts, which is something nonsense since the quality posts should be above quantity of posts IMHO.
I don't think an enthusiastic effort in order to contribute The Org scene would remain unnoticed or uncredited by our staff. :bow:
I agree with the above, the system is fine the way it is and besides - it would be kind of hard and time consuming switching to an army like system I would imagine.
Off Topic:
Congrats on your AM promotion LEN, which forum do you patrol ?
:balloon2:
Apothecary, Hard and Software. Or so I'm led to believe ~;)
How do you propose that we implement those ranks? Promotion based on postcount only leads some people to start spamming in order to gain ranks. It also results in ranks becoming meaningless, as there are people who post little but always write well thought-out and interesting messages, while some people with high postcounts seldom contribute anything of value. On the other hand, manual promotion is a heck of a lot of work, even though only monitor the junior members. Image how hard it becomes when every rank has to be monitored.
Like LEN, I prefer it that senior membership actually means something.
Oh thanks, Dutch_guy, I've been called to arms to assist seniors who patrol Apothecary and Hard- and Software sections. ~:)
So says a Senior Member. ~;)Quote:

I knew I was going to sound biased, but I wasn't trying to protect my title or anything like that, really :bow:Quote:

Well, I have to say, the Org is unique (in a good way) from any other forum I have ever peeked in...:2thumbsup:
We got spoiler tags, tons of smilies, an arcade, etc... etc...:2thumbsup:
All goodness...:2thumbsup:
The Senior Member thing is fine as is.
Besides, what's wrong with being a Member?
I never said that you should base it on post count, but you could appoint a few more moderators to deal with ranks and such.Quote:

But I'm not Turkish; perhaps if there was a multicultural empire to incorporate me as an elite force in their military...Quote:

@ Mouzafphaerre
GAH!
Steady lads. Let's stay focused on business here. :)
My congrats to LEN as well; I just noticed your promotion tonight. :bow:
Sergeant is actually much lower than captain. And there weren't sergeants with consuls. It'd be a waste of time, anyway. The current system is fine.
Congrats on AM, LEN!
Why thank you Mouzafphaerre :bow:Quote:

Congrats DG.. hmmm on which basis would you've been promoted... probably not TYOLT:inquisitive:
joking lol... I'm just too busy to read the good stuff you write :bow:
I think the limited number of member ranks (3, of which 1 everyone pretty much goes past quite quickly) contributes to the largely egalitarian ethos that the Org has.
It says to me - whether you come here for Total War or one of the other areas - the Org is the kind of place where people can leave their egos at the door. ~:grouphug:

Hey, Mouz, how long have you been back? I haven't noticed you in a while...
Oh, and also, GET THE HELL BACK TO EB! WE NEED YOU! :help:
Oh- and not to sound skitzophrenic... but I just noticed that you avatar looks remarkably like Anthony Quinn, when he was in "Lawrence of Arabia". Is that new? Or am I just going mad? :mad:
Why don't we just go back to the old days, of the Junior/Senior Patron then Junior/Senior Member...
That was back when we could keep all the simple riff-raff out of the Gentlemen's Tavern...
I jest, though, I jest, that was a bit too confusing...
.
To legitimize it, with apollogies, I concur that there is absolutely no need for more ranks. In MTW times it worked well (man at arms, count, duke etc.) but when there is more than one active community (MTW, RTW, expected MTW2, Spartan, ever new and alive Shogun) going on this way is plain better. :yes:Quote:
