W0lle 1050 Posted September 15, 2009 New post rank titles I see. Just out of interest, what is the required post count for each new rank? You have a fancy custom user title, hence you won't be promoted for spamming the forums. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks, ProfTournesol. Must have missed that :o Yes, it's better to have me in "custom title chains" then letting me loose with a normal rank. It might get messy. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33BO11OF00 10 Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) To all moderators :Sorry. This might be a useless post but I want to give a feedback. About Sniperwolf572 answer in thread part 20 :Good answer. Very good indeed. Some guys think that the moderators are ***. I don't think that way.

JdB 151 Posted September 17, 2009 Who do I have to bribe to become a mod and how much is the going rate? Send a proof of purchase (pictures of the backside (CD-Key) of the various manuals with your middle finger prominently displayed) of over 50 genuine copies of ArmA2 to Placebo.

W0lle 1050 Posted September 18, 2009 Who do I have to bribe to become a mod and how much is the going rate? Why you would pay to do an unpaid job where every 2nd one hates you and you get almost each day atleast one PM where they call you everything from the book? :confused: We find you if we need you.

MehMan 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Why you would pay to do an unpaid job where every 2nd one hates you and you get almost each day atleast one PM where they call you everything from the book? :confused: Because you get endless opportunities to troll people. In another forum I frequent I edited the posts of some ass to make him look gay. But I didn't change his whole post drasticly, just added a word or two here and there, a sentence in a long essay. Or if I remember that I don't like somebody I can just delete his post. Man being moderator is fun sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotShot 0 Posted September 18, 2009 I know its only a small thing, but I can't say I like these new Rank titles - they seem a bit... shit, for lack of a more accurate word. OK, 'Member' is boring, but at least it doesn't make the forum look like its full of wannabe army men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeMeSiS 11 Posted September 18, 2009 I say we change all the ranks to 'Spammer' Spammer Spammer First Class Lance Spammer Corporal Spammer [...] Captain Spammer Major Spammer As your rank gets higher with more posts this also makes much more sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W0lle 1050 Posted September 18, 2009 Well this is a forum dedicated to a military simulation, so I thought replacing the boring default 'member' usertitles with a (USMC) rank structure would a) fit way better to the forum in general b) be something more unique c) honour the long time poeple with a nice rank It was clear to me however that not everyone like them, you simply can't please anyone and especially that there might be some 'natural' issues cause a US Army member must wear a Marine rank. :p However the majority seems to like them (or just doesn't care) and as of now I see no reason why we should change it one more time - which then make others complain. 'Spammer' is no option at all, that would look even more stupid. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted September 18, 2009 In fact, join date could have been taken into account in this ranking, rewarding the veterans more than the so called "spammers", but it's not a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo1 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Asides from my above joking, I think they're pretty cool. Especially the fact that you'd need to be around for forever before you hit any sort of commissioned officer rank :p I would agree with the above sentiment that some sort of time based factor would be a great idea, but in practise I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement. I wonder if there was a way to multiply posts by the amount of years you've been on the forum and have some sort of 'veteran score' based on that? Although I must admit myself that at this stage, it would be so much confusion for little benefit :p Either way, it's a huge improvement over the old system where annoying spambots who joined up to whinge were marked as "Senior Members" because they had more than 100 posts. Just my 2c. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
