Everyones a Private First Class
Everyones a Private First Class
Umm... I woke up this morning, looked on this forum and found that everyone is now a private first class. Well, almost everyone. What happened?

The fact that there is a freaking topic about the ranks changing just goes to show that people think they actually _mean_ something.
Geez, it's a damn image on a website, get over it. Posting spam gets you a better image but makes you look like a moron.

There are now only 3 ranks based on post count.
Other ranks are set manually based on community involvement. Anyone with 5 posts or more is a PFC, it's as simple as that.
Ranks are not a real feature of the game or forums since they mean nothing, so we don't announce changes to them.
This is how they will be until we get better forum software and authentication systems. Then they will ether be removed, or changed to a time based system.

How about some form of rank scheme similar to that on this site: http://muselive.com/
Users are given points evey time they do a cirtain action - very little points are given for forum posts, however lots are given, for example, the development of a plugin.
There should also be points gained for days since registration, and the ammount of time actually spent playing the game. Obviously the rank is in relation to you points.
I would suggest that points also be handed out by moderators for less general things.

If the change in the ranking system is because you are all worried about spammers posting to boost their rank, then the new system means that admins no longer have a basis to delete alleged spam posts. And as most of you will agree, rank boosting is the main incentive for people to spam. Now that rank boosting is not a viable outcome, spam posting should theoretically stop for the most part (Except for the people who were a Private First Class when the ranking system was changed and don't know enough not to spam, or the occasional spammer advertising for some obscure website). But then again, the real issue comes down to how strictly you define "spamming".
All in all, I think this move is a step in the right direction.
