Different Ranks

[Goalie]

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.

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 ?

[Craterus]

Apothecary, Hard and Software. Or so I'm led to believe

So says a Senior Member.

I'm not sure ranks would add anything. As LEN stated, post count is meaningless without a quality indicator, there would need to be a promotion review board for it to work properly. I think TWCenter has a ranking system, but I don't know the specifics of how it works.

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

Yes; down with ranks and up with LEN.

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.

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.

We'll take it up in our next staff meeting. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let you know.
