No but seem that's making it into a supporter-type thing.

You want this to be global.. no? @ Todoroki Is.

No Enishi, it's after doing like.. certain things - not automatically spamming or donating.

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 4:05 AM

I think if this ability is made, it needs to be versatile enough to be accesible to a large majority of the members on PC.

Mitchman July 24th, 2009 4:07 AM

While I do want it to be global not that global. Like possibly if they did do it globabally maybe a birthday thing or one for spending news years here or a christmas one. Like special events on PC or such.

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 4:10 AM

Not sure I'd agree with that Todorki.. I think a lot of people wouldn't want to spend event days like Christmas online =/ I know I wouldn't.
I think it should be a supporters thing.. possibly ;;

Ho-Oh July 24th, 2009 4:14 AM

You're forgetting the point that a member created this thread.

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 4:15 AM

True Nica =/ Well I wouldn't mind it being available to all, but I reckon it would take some work to make sure everyone had appropriate images under their names & the right demensions etc. I reckon there'd have to be an approval thread. Like the name change thread.

Yeah, I think I get the concept you're saying now.
I guess those other things like hosting contests and helping new members could be considered as user ranks like supporters, but I'm fine with these things being emblems already (most of them are, aren't they?).
BTW, I just quoted your statement because it reminded me of emblems. XD
I've no problems with it being exclusive to PC supporters and staff, either.

Some people celebrate part of their holidays here, though, and I'm pretty sure there was already a "New Year of 2008" or something sort of emblem. And as I said, I've no problems with it being a supporter thing, since it's not illogical anyway (even though I'm no supporter...yet?).

Sharada July 24th, 2009 4:20 AM

I think this isn't such a great idea after all. We shouldn't copy other forum features let's just make PokeCommunity much more unique than the other forums. This is just an Opinion.
And let's just wait for the approval of our dear staff members.

ruby July 24th, 2009 5:01 AM

All I can see this doing is exacerbating the idea that postcount equals your e-peen size;

People competing to have a bigger postcount is dumb enough already, we don't need to bring 'ranks' into the situation.

Percy Thrillington July 24th, 2009 5:02 AM

I think having user ranks for sets amounts of posts would be cool. Anybody who disagrees by saying people will spam to get them, or newbies might confuse members with staff need to come up with better reasons, seriously. Most people are already spamming for the sake of acquiring a blog, new user ranks aren't going to make much of a difference. And as for the other reason someone brought up... I forgot the staff also have coloured, bold and italic usernames?

Also, to those of whom who are saying it would make PC a copy of Serebii: Serebii was not the first forum to come up with the idea of user ranks.

But yeah, I think it'd be pretty awesome, and those who oppose it should really give a proper reason as to why user ranks shouldn't be made available on the forum.

Serene Grace July 24th, 2009 5:31 AM

Maybe the best option is just to make is text. That way, no members would spam to get a new text as their user rank.

Also, I'm up for the image idea but only if It's for supporters. We paid to help the community so we shoudl get added perks like this. Also, you may make it a priviledge, once a user has surpassed x amount of posts. Don't tell them though, so they don't know what it is and they can't spam.

Bamboo July 24th, 2009 5:42 AM

For all the people saying that there would be too much spam or that it would be hard to distinguish staff from members look at it this way. Serebii does it and its pretty easy to tell whos staff when it say Sppf Staff right there... And the entire mods is to keep spam to a minimum so anyone who was caught spamming would just get infracted. I took the liberty of taking these images of another site that utilizes theses userranks. I am aware that this site is about Runescape. See how easy it is to distinguish between members who have only posted and members who have won special awards? The site has about 40 or so userranks and thought they have only been up for a month they have 2000 members and the spam is at an extrememly low level.

ok I couldn't be bothered reading after the 3rd page lol but this would kinda mean we wouldn't get to have our own unique little user thing like
its the summer holidays 8D
we would be the same as many people =/ maybe under the user thing

sorry but I actually forgotten the name for the user

Kyle Black July 24th, 2009 6:02 AM

well.. instead of us having the long conversation about it, why don't we let the staff members decide? or why don't we all get permission from some staff member and put up a voting poll and decide it ourselves?

Archer July 24th, 2009 6:08 AM

Guys, if you really want this, you can just switch to your default usertitle. There are a number of 'Ranks' for your postcount already specified there.

Honestly, I don't think someone needs a ambiguous banner to tell people how 'important' they are when they have a post count clearly available. That, the way they post, and to a certain extent, their rep is going to give a more accurate assessment of a perspn's character.

Seriously, if you really want to stand out, then donate and get yourself a nice blue badge.

That's a fair observation, but we might as well discuss it, giving out ideas for or against it, and then the staff either takes it on board to consider, or decides against it and closes the thread. Until such time, it's safe to discuss it amongst ourselves.

The Darkest Gale July 24th, 2009 6:08 AM

that is a very good idea XD lol nobody thought about that

We're not talking about the text usertitles here, we are talking about adding a little picture to each rank that would accompany the usertitles.

There's some ugly green forum that has those, you should totally give it a try. :)

Kyle Black July 24th, 2009 7:03 AM

hey is it just me? i saw whoever has 6 green thingys has there usernames on pink. so it worked..
so i guss whoever gets 6 or more green thingys gets there username on pink.

Gerri Shin July 24th, 2009 7:06 AM

Actually that's currently a tier 5 and 6 supporter perk, also, it's unknown if it will be permanent.

Ho-Oh July 24th, 2009 7:09 AM

... Adding to Gerri, um, it's not permament. XD;

And only for a selected few o3o;

Spinor July 24th, 2009 7:59 AM

DAMN IT PEOPLE! You gave a dream about this last night! >:O

Fist of all. Shiny cool user bars WILL pick up the hell load of spam.

However, how about counting a few 32 x 32 pictures that accumulate depending on the post amount. Almost like the rep system does, except this will actually be controllable a bit more >.>

Yeah that is a good idea but it goes against your lulz spam thing. Seriously its not going to be worse then the spam we get for blogs.(totally going to stop here cause someone will surely use me and my 6000 posts in 1 and a half year as a hipocrasy thing)

Lunamewtwo July 27th, 2009 7:30 AM

Sounds like a wonderful idea to me:) Would bring a little uniqueness to the forums and might even increase user activity :o

Artonkn July 27th, 2009 8:32 AM

I love the idea.


However i don't want it to be such as 'Begining Trainer' or 'Pokemon Master'


maybe like:


0-50: Newbie
51-100: (I don't know!!!)
101-150: Regular


and then i can't think of others...


but ye i love the idea
