Member Rank Names

[Mayhem]

I'm considering changing the member ranking system on this forum (rank 1 cheater, rank 2 cheater, etc). The level you attain is dependent on the number of your posts.

I have a few suggestions and would like to know how you guys feel about them. After reading through the suggestions, please vote in the poll (one of the options is "OTHER"). Other possibilities might include something with playing cards, world geography, animals or anything.

Feel free to make suggestions or comment on the list of systems presented!


Idea #1: Gems (with or without gems icons)

10 = Diamond
9 = Emerald
8 = Ruby
7 = Sapphire
6 = Topaz
5 = Amethyst
4 = Garnet
3 = Peridot
2 = Opal
1 = Turquoise


Idea # 2: Metals (with or without metal icons)

10 = Platinum
9 = Gold
8 = Silver
7 = Bronze
6 = Brass
5 = Copper
4 = Steel
3 = Iron
2 = Tin
1 = Lead


Idea #3: Pogo characters (possible copyright issues?)

10 = Free Cell King/Queen
9 = Word Whomp Gopher
8 = Spike the cactus
7 = Tumble Bee or Honey Bear
6 = Hog Heaven hog
5 = etc.


Idea #4: Military ranks (maybe stripes or stars by your name)

10 = Commander In Chief/Prime Minister
9 = General
8 = Colonel
7 = Lt. Colonel
6 = Major
5 = Captain
4 = Lieutenant
3 = Sargent
2 = Corporal
1 = Private


Idea #5: Star system (1-5 stars)

Idea #6: Thermometer picture (the "temp" in your thermometer would rise with your increasing rank).

Love this idea, Mayhem!  Maybe I'm too much of a girl but I like the gem system.  Icons would be colorful, too.  If I come up with anything else, I'll post it.

I voted for gems but I like the Pogo character idea, too, if you can avoid copyright issues.

I think I prefer the gems.................            Metals would be o.k  too 

[Stinkerbell]

Gems, especially if they can be used to purchase pogo items! Haha!

With my anger issues I was sort of hoping for:
Field artillery

• Field guns
  Field guns (Self-propelled)
  Howitzers
  Howitzers (Self-propelled)
  Infantry guns
  Infantry guns (Self-propelled)
  Mountain artillery
  Muzzle-loading guns
  Siege artillery

But I like Military.

I voted for gems, but I also like Stars.

Being a Pogo Forum, it would make sense to have Pogo characters, or we could have Star Trek Insignia.

ONLY 11 VOTES SO FAR?  C'mon, folks, we have thousands of members.... here's your chance to voice your opinion on a possible forum change!


PLEASE VOTE!

To start off, I just wanted to apologize for taking so long in getting this done. The last few days I have been working on the new ranks / colors. I can see some of the colors have not translated too well to the "users online" list at the bottom of the main forum page. I am working to get that fixed.

With that said, here is the new post ranking system and the requirements :

If you have any questions, comments or concerns - please let me know!

Like them, but why only up to 6,000 posts as some have lots more, lol (Nothing to work towards)

Yes, I was thinking about that as well when creating these.

I was thinking of possibly adding a 10k post rank. However, not sure what gem to use (or go a different path) or what to call the rank yet. I'm all open to suggestions.

[Stinkerbell]

Are the diamonds redeemable for prizes? 

[Squid]

I love the rank system... love the colors.  Maybe the numbers could be tweaked for the ranks but the lower number does get more people engaged at higher rank levels, perhaps encouraging more posting by people who normally wouldn't post that much. 

[Mayhem]

What do you guys think about these rank adjustments? I could always add more ranks in the future.

1.      25
2.      300
3.      650
4.    1000
5.    1500
6.    2100
7.    2900
8.    4000
9.    6500
10. 10000

If you change the amount of posts does this mean I get my blue sapphires taken away????   ......

hehehe Your blue sapphires would become lovely purple amethysts, I believe... but you would have something to work toward!

[Squid]

I'm thinking if someone has over 20,000 posts, they should get the Ultra Uber Diamond rank.  Yeah, that sounds really good!

[snap20]

You can always make Diamonds the 10k, then do variations of diamonds for 10k+. Think, canary diamonds, chocolate diamonds, pink diamonds, etc. The jewelry companies come up with all these names for worthless diamonds to sell to people, so might as well take their lead. ;)

[mycatownsme]

Gee, I thought I voted yesterday but don't see it.
It's still Halloween so maybe that's why?

Or you could switch to nuts....walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts,coconuts, pinenuts.....
