    Site Rank Hierarchy?

    From what I can tell, it goes something like:

    Jr. Member - 0-29 posts
    Member - 30-?? posts
    ???
    ???
    ???
    Super Moderator - set rank

    Has anyone passed 'Member' yet?


    Just trying to get a better idea about some irrelevant stuff...

    It's actually set like this:
    Junior Member 0
    Member 30
    Senior Member 100

    Very lame, I know. It's just the default. Let's get some suggestions of what the ranks should be...

    Yeah, I saw that. I think it's a good idea.

    Maybe later on a list of names could be put together and then a poll taken?

    I'd say add in under those Student, Technician, Technologist, and Engineer-in-Training.

    Technician
    Technologist
    Engineer-in-Training
    Engineer
    Staff Engineer
    Senior Engineer
    Principal Engineer

    Eddie

    0-10 Student
    11-20 Technician
    21-35 Technologist
    36-55 Engineer-in-Training
    56-75 Engineer
    76-105 Staff Engineer
    106-140 Senior Engineer
    141-180 Principal Engineer
    181-225 Chief Engineer
    226-??? ???


    The way I got these numbers was for each rank, the number of posts you need increases by five.

    //EDIT: Also, what is the possibility of getting a 'karma' system involved as well? If a user helped you, or is just generally being a good member of the community you can give their post or profile a +. If they suck-ass and are being a jerk, or talking down about the site or someone's work, you can give them a -.

    For an example, and yes, I know it's ponies. But it uses this system in a good way.
    http://www.everfreeforest.com/member...iewprofile&u=2
    This user has 29 karma, and therefore is viewed as a good, rule-upholding member of the community.

    Something to add would be, if your karma is too low, or not high enough, you aren't allowed to post in certain areas like any of the threads where people are looking for help.
    This would allow those who act like trolls or jerks, to be treated as such.
    It would have to be noted to everyone that abusing the system would result in the removal of that persons account and the placement of their IP on a list of those denied access to the site.

    Just seen that you did it a little faster then me,

    Well i just think a rank shouldnt change every 3 weeks of posting. :P
    Example at that rate i would already be half way, and the forum is just a month old.

    With my example we would be sweet for a year or 1-2 depends on the members :P

    You're right, I was just going on how large the community is now. I forgot about the fact that the member count is going up fast.

    I do think they should be higher than what I had, but this discussion is here for a reason. Let's get like one or two more opinions/suggestions.
