Rank

I guess that's what I can call it. It's the thing under the name, what does all of it mean and how is it changed. Igor, could you change mine :) I don't particularly want a V-6 but more like a TT Flat 6. :D

I changed it back...
The cylinder thing obviously isn't a good idea....
Anyone have a good solid replacement for it for now?
I really want to incorporate Azzkikr's idea:
Maybe after a certain number of post you could get "points" with these points you could go to the "Auto Enthusiasts Store" and buy imaginary stuff for your car The imaginary stuff could be posted to the left of your screen anem in the messege forum. Whoever has the most after market stuff is the King of Posting this idea needs some refining but u said u wanted something different
But that will take some time......
So I want to hear good names for number of posts at this point.... anyone have any good names we could use?
This is what I have it as right now:
AF Newbie - 0
AF Member - 15
AF Enthusiast - 40
AF Fanatic - 70

i know it sucks :p
that's why I want to hear you guys' opinions.
Nothing fancy though.... I just need to time to incorporate Azzkikr's idea... for now we just need good word ranks.

Those numbers are awefully low. I had something like 2500 posts at the carforums site, and others had over well over 4000...

Remember, AF is still only 2 and a half months old. And there aren't those kinds of numbers yet. I will adjust the numbers as we grow.
Do you have any ranks to add to the system we have right now? Anyone that has any good names shoot :)

The thing with the engines were that they were just to wierd. I liked it at CF with the stars. My suggestion would be to have high next levels like it was said. It should go something like this:

50= 1 star (Or some sort of symbol)
100= 2
250= 3
500= 4
1000= 5
2000= 6 and so on after that

I know these seem high right now but it would save you time in the long run instead of changing it. As for names I don't really know, maybe use a variant of what is on there currently, something with more distinction than that of the last.

I think after XXXX posts you should be able to claim your own rank.

Actually, I'm sure I've seen some people with personalized ranks.

I like Porsche's star idea as well. It should be added to the member status box, not replace the text titles. Just make sure you don't use ugly stars like the ones at the supercars.net forums.

I don't think that it matters at all of how many posts you have just what the quality of the posts are, My post counts are not that high yet I still seem to have some good replys. Atleast I think so. :D

Ahkmid.

I was wondering what ever happened to these ideas. I know the stars showed up (and pretty much stop after 8 of them :bloated: ) but were were the captions under our names going to open up? It'd be nice to tweak those a bit similiar to what mods can do.

Not that its all that important but I thought it could be another of those nice little features we've been getting the last month or so. :smile:

Good on Yogs for digging a thread up from the ancient archives of AF:bloated:

i think we should be able to add custom titles for under our name:bigthumb:

I agree with the custom titles.

I have 10 and one half hours left on shift, the one who puts up the most pics of hot chicks....I mean lovely young ladies, gets an extra star.

Go!

No thank you.:smile:



There's already ample room to customise your presence on AF.You have an avatar,you have a sig,you have a profile....why spoil it by ricing it out with a custom user title as well?

I think its a somewhat cool idea we should get Igor to do it...if he would be so kind to do so :biggrin:

Oh Naki, you soilsport.:thefinger

I assume the deleted post was in reply to my post? I meant non-porn pics, to clear things up.

nope,it was a classic postwhore post....(I have x hundred posts,woo yay for me!):rolleyes:

Excellent....but yet dissapointing.

hater :D

:loser: stfu

:lol: , turbo2nr struck down again...! So only moderators can customize their titles? Lvl. 8 people can't?

This post is extremely old...I read Igor's post and thought, "2 and a half months old? I've been here for a year now"

I now see why digging up ancient threads is discouraged. I would think it'd be alright for the level 8 people to customize their titles too, but that's just me.

:iagree: good way to get postwhoring up by 100%

Which I'm sure is the exact reason that these incentives were never implemented... Thank god for that too... Postwhoring is already bad enough just to get the cute little stars under the name to light up...

Since when have post counts been important? They only incourage spamming.

I guess you're right about that...if only people would hold their posts until they had something that actually has to do with the topic, we'd all be ok...and free of post whores...

Oh wow is this ever old! I must have been a naive 15 upon writing that, so much has changed. I don't think the current system has too many problems, but if some peopel (mods especially) feel otherwise, then put up a thread suggesting an alternative. I'd still be happy with the username, date registered and some discrete form of how much of a contribution to Af that user is. Post counts are okay, but they do encourage postwhoring, and althoguh some peopel with high counts can be regarded as being very senior and wise, others are just people who speak without being spoken to.

If there was some sort of user rating system, I'd like it. I mean a system where user are ranked by other users rather than by the postcount under thier name. It would take a number of months at the very least to have everybody up to the rating they deserve, but it would be a nice chance to know who's worth listening to, it gotten awful crowded these days.

We need more postwhores, so we can have "The Great Postwhore Crackdown 2003" just like last year, except this time we name it.


Anyway, I like the user rating idea, gives you a better idea of who's advice to take.

This one was a pleasure to close. Thank you everyone.
Now, all together:
