1001+ : VIP

Beginning Member, Member and Senior Member are pretty much the same pip, only with different text. The VIP member pip is another color all together and NONE of the colors are the same as staff. :3 I like the idea but I'd like the colors to still be easy to pick apart if that's not too much to ask. ^^ You can give a pip without changing the format of the username, yes?

And if you don't know what a Pip is, it's the only term I'm used to with forums. XD; For me, my 'pip' is my 5 Supporter Emblem...thing. XD Hope it wasn't too confusing.

As far as the spam concern goes, have some faith in the staff people, jee willikerz. o3o They do tend to do their jobs people, they don't just sit around picking their noses. [tho I've heard rumours some staff make homemade flamethrowers out of aresol and matches just to watch people freak out... :3] I just recently had an msn party with someone who hit Senior Member on this other VB forum [we dropped it like it was hot yo, word to your...shiny username? XD;] and it was full of fun for completing the challenge. :D I guess I'm trying to say don't worry about the spam, that's why we have people with shiny usernames who walk around with beat sticks. o3o We're safe~

SO HAVE FUN.

i AGREE completely ;)
and i have another idea aswell..
for all the spamers out there..
i think there should be a some
ranks called-

Spammers Newbie-For 5-10 Deleted Spams
Advanced Spammers-For 11-20 Deleted Spams
Master Spammers-For 21-100 Deleted Spams
Spammers King-For 101+ Deleted Spams

this keep track of the
stupid spammers
it would also help the staff
to keep track of them,infract them
and also ban them..i hope
you people like my idea...

Did you not read this:

And by the ways, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but if you post in columns like this, it gets really painful to read...
OT: I think User Rank images are a great idea. Although it does suck up the server space and puts a strain on the server. :( Larger images are annoying and break postbit tables, small images are fine :)

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 1:20 AM

I think it would be great if there were post according ranks.. it makes sense too. I also do not believe that it would make people spam.

I think it'd be great to have User Ranks, just make sure that it doesn't make PC lag more frequently.
This way, we'll see if the staff are REALLY doing their anti-spam (according to rule no. 1 in the almighty rules) work.
And it makes sense, too, as Zenus said.

ShinjisLover July 24th, 2009 2:52 AM

It actually sounds like a good idea to me.

I really don't see why people would 'SPAM' just to get the image. It's like saying people would SPAM just to get the set usertitles for the number of posts.

Cherrim July 24th, 2009 3:31 AM

I don't mind the idea. I must admit, I'd be surprised if anyone *actually* used the userbars as a way to identify staff. o_O; And that's the ONLY issue I see with this (aside from people disliking them for not matching their sigs or something *shrug*). Staff and supporters have username colours so they're fairly easy to pick out.

And honestly, if anything, people are already spamming for blogs. Something this insignificant... won't have any bearing on that, seriously. XD;

i think people would just spam more to get a higher rank...

Mitchman July 24th, 2009 3:41 AM

Yeah I dunno why this would up the spam. Its already under control a lot so why not have this? Its a fun, cool, and easy way to make the forums better. I just wanna know would it be easier to use Pokemon related things or something else...

Serene Grace July 24th, 2009 3:43 AM

Then to prevent spam, only put about 6 or 7 ranks so there's not too many to get. It would be pointless to SPAM then.

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 3:44 AM

I doubt many would spam just to get a new little rank bar >.< That'd be pretty funny xP

Ho-Oh July 24th, 2009 3:46 AM

I don't like this idea.

Like the others stated, I believe what PC has now is sufficient. And... well, on other forums they use really ugly Pokemon bad quality ones and... ew ;;

But still, without a coloured username, the images would look out of place. D:

Or we could just like, choose our own and do what David does with his image below username thingie. o3o; Which would totally be awesome.

Mitchman July 24th, 2009 3:48 AM

Yes there we go! Custom images for your userbar thing like the Admins do. But who would do it and why ?

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 3:48 AM

Yeah that would be good.. what do you reckon Erica?

Serene Grace July 24th, 2009 3:49 AM

All the staff will still have to vote on this and I don't think all of them would like it. o3o

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 3:52 AM

A supporter privelage at least?

Mitchman July 24th, 2009 3:53 AM

Yes for all tiers perhaps.

Ho-Oh July 24th, 2009 3:53 AM

idk, I think all supporters should keep what they have automatically; but for it to be changable or something.

... It could just become like a reward a user could only obtain after doing something important. Not for everyone though, that would be over the top :[

And still, only certain people could design it as it'd need to fit PC's standard. Like a request thread in the graphics section or something.

Serene Grace July 24th, 2009 3:55 AM

Or maybe the Graphics staff (or Loki) could do it.

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 3:56 AM

I'm sure once one person would do it, lots of others would learn how to as well.

Mitchman July 24th, 2009 3:57 AM

What if just for supporters to change their userbar in a certain way? I mean they could put graphic there and such. And not just for something special people cause then it wouldn't be fair. Hmm issues issues issues

Ho-Oh July 24th, 2009 3:59 AM

But something special could be like... hosting contests, helping new members - idk, it could vary, like the staff choosing who to give emblems kinda.

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 4:00 AM

Yeah that might work Nica.. as long as it was an achievable target for all members and not just the popular & well known ones.

Mitchman July 24th, 2009 4:02 AM

exactly. Popular and well known would be given them more then everybody. If so then wouldn't they be like emblems and wouldn't it just be moot? I was thinking maybe for those who got over 5000 posts and tier 2 like blogs.

And emblems being mentioned made me think that giving out emblems of post count user rank instead would more or less be the same as giving user ranks in the fashion that a PC supporter would get their respective badge.
Blog ability can also be considered as a user rank, after all.
