Author Topic: Posting Ranks  (Read 16850 times)

What if TMK featured Posting Ranks? I haven't seen many forums that don't have posting ranks.

It could be simple as:

At least 0: Goomba
At least 70: Koopa Troopa
At least 150: Regular Toad
At least 2000: Superstar

etc, etc. The only current ranking system we somewhat have are nicknames...perhaps we could take it a step further?

If ranks are based on post count then they would encourage spam which is not good no matter what some Hawaiians say.  A karma system like Slashdot has would be nice, but I don't think this board is large enough for such a scheme to be effective.

I've always though post-based ranking systems were ridiculous. Quality is better than quantity.

Exactly. Besides, I'd feel inadequate if anyone's post count was bigger than mine and would feel compelled to purchase some form of Natural Post Count Enhancement.

I've seen this before. I've also seen it abused. Not a good idea.

Posting ranks are ridiculous. I think the mod-lent CTs we have right now aren't the greatest thing in the world, but their better than most of the alternative(s).

Custom titles you can't customize are the best!

Edit: No, MushroomJunkie, I am not being sarcastic.

So, by your logic, your custom title sucks.

Well, now we know what his next CT will... well, I guess the current one is appropriate.

Yeah didn't read. It's not that important anyway to have Custom titles.

I must be pretty darn special then, being the only person in this thread without a custom title.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just as unimportant of the rest of you now.

Hahahaha, my plan WORKED!
