Forum Dedication!

[The Don]

Hey, I've been thinking, the user rank, should also be increased by the amount of time you've been here, because there isn't much that apreciates users who have been here for years, Yeh, theres VIP if you've been here for five years, but that's it. I mean, 5 years is a long time to stay dedicated to a forum, surely members who have been here longer should get recognised some more, or atleast receive benefits.

Hmmm, hard to say what I think. If you're dedicated, a good reward is being noticed by the members and a badge doesn't mean anything when you've got members recognising you as a decent contributor to the community.

You can't really put a system in place to decide who is dedicated to the community, as it'll become complicated. So not sure what to say, unless you can come up with some suggestions?

Something like, the user rank is calculated by the amount of days registered on the forum, the rep, and the amount of posts, it would be more accurate.

Hmmm, it's not too far off that already. MissAlice, who is dedicated to Habbox, has a low post count but her motto "quality is better than quantity" kinda ruins the system of post count, rep and days registered. It would be difficult to make a system, when an automatic system lacks opinion - it can't determine how amazing an individual is

The current user rank system depends on days registered and post count. I think it either goes up to 360 or 720 days - I think it would be harsh to increase this as it'd strip some users of their rank. Although to be honest I find that platinum members tend to have been here for at least 3 years.

There's also the rep system influenced by years registered - the 'rep' system would make sense to be used here if you are talking about recognition, rep count raises one for every year here - so people like MissAlice as Gomme mentioned, low post count but higher rep power.

I think the 5+ year awards could be jazzed up a bit,

Three months of vip is a little stingy, no offence. Someone who has stuck around and supported the site for that long deserves a little more. I don't mean more vip, maybe some additional features that others can't access.

Agreed

Agreed

agreed x 2, i mentioned something in the "donator colours" thread about perhaps introducing a silver, bronze and a platinum. because there are people coming up to 7 years here now and have done with all the gold stuff.
