New User Rank System

[AgnesIO]

They don't though, that's the issue. The forum is no longer the most active. Also, about my posts I had 18.5K on Immenseman you moron and I still wanted every user to be equal then. I got 1k posts in like a week, I could overtake you with ease. So I suggest you look a little bit deeper before you make another ludicrous reply and have the egg firmly back on your face.


Well seeing as they implemented it... :rolleyes:

Jesus...

That's the point. I 'had' 18.5k posts on Immenseman. 'had'

he thinks he is a descendant of immenseman LOL, and i never see dom suggesting anything to make the forum better only complaining

Last time I checked I often post ideas, many which are implemented xx Out of all the things you can say about me, I think saying I never suggest anything is the worst comment you can come up with.

Handbags away ladies.

I think overall this changes are beneficial, obviously some users will never be happy even if management get on the tables and do a tap dance naked, but I'm glad we are fulfilling the wishes of a large majority of members

[hah]

could you link me to some?

The user ranks remain ranks, they do not fail to provide incentives to post. We have tried our best to adequately combine an incentive to sign up and an incentive to post more with the ranks, and I really don't see the problem with them. They are, as has been said, a step in the right direction.

So you think 1000 posts is a suitable point for members to be rewarded for being here? I don't know if I can do it with the search tools available to me but I'd love to know the number of members who've joined in the last 6 months who've amassed 1000 posts. I'm willing to wager its at, or close to, 0.

Btw I'm not against giving members features as soon as they join, that's all fine and cool. Just the criteria to get to the 2nd lowest rank.

If I cared about that ban like you are insinuating I would have appealed. Post count, reputation, join date doesn't turn me on unlike some. The fact I had 1 infraction point when I was permed would suggest the perm was unfair. However, I agreed with managements decision I needed a new start. If I ever appeal it, it'll be more along the lines that I have changed and would like my old account back rather than it's unfair. You're deluded. Once again, even after instructed you failed to get anything right. Embarrassing really.

Yeah, don't worry, you're always going to get the idiots

I think 49,000 of the 'active' members joined this forum a few months ago at the very earliest, when they were 11 years olds, and guess what LOADS of those still post.

Is that the truth? I challenge you to name 5 people who joined this month and are as active as some of the older members. I certainly don't see any in here.

I agree somewhat, things have changed a fair bit since I looked into it but last time I did there were I believe something like 4 new members who'd made more than 10 posts in their first month. Not entirely sure of the stats and someone can look it up if they want but if people are only willing to stick around for a few posts then maybe the 1st gap ought to be closed a little - that is, assuming new users actually care about any of this. I state again that I see none here.

Well that's a different argument altogether, like I said earlier management don't seem to be thinking outside the box. New members won't be bothered about a 10 pixel increase in avatar size or the ability to make groups when the groups system itself is hidden away and unused.

You can criticise but you fail to think outside the box yourself and give us suggestions. This is only the beginning of some of our changes and more will be coming soon. Whilst a member might not think "omg yes 10 more pixels" it may reduce the amount of members being PM'd for having oversized avatars which in itself is beneficial.

In this thread I've made two suggestions: massively decreasing the amount of posts needed between the lowest and 2nd lowest group to reward new members more in their early days here and to better promote the group system with a facebook style "bob liked Gay Pride UK" box on the home page, and also not burying the system in menus. What do you want me to do, write an essay?

I really don't see how giving more staggered avatar sizes is going to decrease the amount of PMs you need to send about oversized avatars. If people have an avatar over the allowed size its because they don't know about the rule, not because of the exact number in their rank down to the nearest 10 pixels.

Well that post approval system that worked well for some time (I know it's a captcha now) was me idea originally xx Then a lot of rare values stuff was originally my idea, I think even the member of uppr management who I don't get long with, could agree I posted moreideas (manyf which are used) that others xx
