Underneath the username of members there is a space for a user title. These points are based on the number of trophy points you have. Points are awarded for lots of different things such as the number of posts you've made and the number of likes you've received. At the moment the following user titles are awarded: New Member: 0 Points Member: 5 Points Active Member: 55 Points Well-Known Member: 45 Points They're kind of pointless but since we are looking at them all the time, I thought it could be worth changing them to something more relevant. Perhaps add a few more ranks to achieve. For example: New Member Grasshopper Master Ninja etc Any suggestions? Kevin
Haha! I was surprised when the trophies started popping up. I guess they're a nice thumbs-up for frequent contributors. I really like the idea of adding a bit of humor to it with the Grasshopper, Ninja, etc. Could add interesting trophies like an Insomniac award for contributing at all hours (I'd def get that, lol), Focused for X amount in one area, Eclectic for diverse responses, etc.
Yeah I agree it's not something that should be taken seriously. Trophies can't be as specific as posting at night or one area etc. I can trophies for the following: Trophies for reaching a certain post count Trophies for reaching a certain number of likes Trophies for having a certain message to post ratio (i.e. lots of likes compared to number of messages posted suggests each post was of a high quality and was liked by lots of members) Trophies for members being registered for a certain length of time e.g. 6 months, 1 year etc
Personally I like your current system, "Grasshopper, Master, Ninja" whilst light seems a bit hockey to me. Why not go with a belt ranking system? But hey this is a forum, lets go with the majority
Democracy at work!! I like it! But I am with Bruce that some of the titles seem a bit hokey... Not sure about Ninja outranking a Master, might give the Ninjas on the forums ideas . Mind if I have a go??? New Member - Initiate Member - Disciple Active Member - Warrior Monk Well Known Member - Samurai Moderator - Diaymo Administrator - Shogun
Hahahahaaaa Kev, that's a class idea....just like all of your other ideas, love, respect and smiles my fellow Scottish Warrior xxxxXXxxxx
Hahahaa, I beg to differ on that one!! I think I would win that award!! I am a total crazy insomniac!! Respects and peace my martial friend xxxXXxxx
All I can say is I'm appreciateive of the recognitions I've seemed to aquired participateing...I realy like the people I've met and I read the statements of others......These people have a great grasp of what they're talking about and of..=^_^=
haha I actually like that idea We could create some funny trophies for when people reach ridiculous posting levels
While it is funny, I really don't like Ninja being AFTER Master... that just isn't right... in so many ways. LMAO
ROTHFLMAO! That title has to be added - Hmm on second thoughts if I'm not careful it might come my way one day
