Just posting a reminder on how this works.
Our current ranking system is as follows:
Quarternote: 0-49 posts, one yellow star.
Halfnote: 50-99 posts, two yellow stars
Wholenote: 100-999 posts, three light blue stars
Journeyman: 1000-1999 posts, 4 red stars
Virtuoso: 2000-2999 posts, 5 sea foam green stars
Just recently, I added the ability to name your own rank at 4,000. I have now changed it to 3,000. Those achieving that level can contact me and I’ll give them whatever rank they want (within reason).
Those who have been kind enough to send me a financial contribution are Supporting Members, they get 5 black stars. If a Supporting Member thinks of a custom tag they’d rather have than Supporting Member, I’ll now offer them that option as well.
A handful of folks have “earned” custom titles already, for various reasons.
None of these titles get anyone any extra privileges or anything, it’s just part of the ProBoards software and I thought it was nice.
I’ve gotten a couple questions in the last week or so about it, so I figured I would remind everyone how it works.

I am considering closing the gaps between 100-1000 and 1000-2000 a bit, so I may readjust this and add two more levels. Of course, I would have to think of more terms that fit the pattern.

So I could, theoretically, be a Brigadier Guitar Dude?

I may be the lone voice of dissent, but I find it all to be very silly.
To me, a poster is popular because they're funny, helpful, or knowledgeable.
I could post a thousand "me toos" to up my ranking, but I wouldn't be adding anything.
(Says the guy with black stars.)

Another old one here. And another silly one, too. It all makes no diff to me. Whatever folks want to do is OK with me. But none of it changes how I interact with the board or how I perceive things. Carry on...it's working fine. |

As a retired military guy...I've spent more than enough of my life being concerned with "rank". Personally, I don't need no stinking badges...just bring something to the party.

Will we get an official, monogrammed, cummerbund if we send you a shipment of toilet paper or meat?

Ranks, or rankings by definition separate and indicate greater, or lessor, superior vs inferior. I would like to think we are all equal, or is that a false ideology? Of course, all in all it really doesn't matter.

Is there any way of instead of Stars having guitar picks
1 pick for up to a hundred posts two for whatever. or change the colour
and loose the titles except for those that have contributed or hit a milestone say 2000 posts or have done something special like Leftee.?

The stars can’t be changed to a different icon, and the ranks can only be eliminated totally (no name or stars) .
I doubt anyone really cares enough about them, so I’ll just leave what we have.

I just got here -- but if someone is a major supporter, they could be recognized as an Atlas -- because we all know Atlas supports the world on his shoulders. greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/atlas/ |

I would've called the most prolific supporters the "Jockstraps", but I didn't want anyone to be offended.

Just as an update, I figured out that you CAN make it a different icon (clearly), and those who reach 3,000 posts or are a Supporting Member can, along with their custom rank name, select a custom icon to replace their stars. Doing the custom icons takes some time and requires a picture about 15pt x 15pt, which you can provide, or I can locate (NSR asked for red white and blue, I found they all have to be the same, so I found a flag print star). Additionally, although the whole thing is kind of silly to begin with, I have the ability to add more levels at higher post counts should we need to do so in the future. One day, if this site has lasted a long time, 3,000 posts won't be so much of an accomplishment. |
