Also, you fail to see the original idea of this thread. :| |
I think it would be okay, but they would have to be very different to the staff/supporter userbars, I think, otherwise they lose their impact if you know what I mean...If I use Zenus as an example, maybe you could have a small badge here:
http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee348/alipeewee/Untitled-2.jpg Like, you could start with a red/blue badge, then get yellow, then gold/silver, then crystal, then ruby/sapphire...and so on and so on. |
...are the rank bars really that striking? o_O I have to admit I don't even notice them. Is it really such a big perk to supporters (and staff, I guess) that members wouldn't be able to have it? Or is it something that needs to be so distinguishable to avoid confusion?
I've never, ever paid much attention to them so maybe I just look at them differently. (Heck, I dropped mine in favour of random text. XD) |
One of the question that came to mind when I was reading through the thread was, if this were to happen, what color would the actual image be? It can't be close to the supporter/staff colors, and already there's some problems going on between how close the supporter and moderator color. Since the staff images are already the basic colors, it's hard to really get past that unless you choose to make it something like pink or something. I think that'll eventually lead to another person bringing up that member group color since they'd have a set titlebar color and all... I dunno. I just can see this becoming a hassle. :(
|
It would be possible for them to be a similar color. However, the size would have to be different. Like I said, a 64x64.
Or we can go Serebii-like and if someone is supporter or staff they don't get a rank. |

So what's the need of having more?!?! LOL Quote:

I don't really pay attentions to username colors, but I definitely pay attention to username bars. IMO, they're that noticeable. That's the easiest way for me to immediately tell how much a supporter has donated, or the position that a staff member as. Quote:
Regarding supporters, I don't agree that this feature should just be restricted to them, but I'll consent that they at least deserve an additional feature to add to the incentive for donating. Being able to type in a custom rank (i.e., Gym Leader to Head Honcho, etc.) would be a nice bonus for supporters. I know you can technically do this with the usertitles, but I feel those are reserved for giving an introduction of oneself alongside one's avatar. Quote:

I'll agree that rep is a slight indication of your posts, but it's hard to assess post quality simply by post number. Post number could be categorized alongside reputation in determining your post quality (someone could spam just as someone could improperly use and abuse the rep system). And, in my experience, there've been a few members who I hardly ever see posting in some threads. I'm not going to search another member's posts (who I hardly see) just to see whether he/she has good or bad post quality or whether he/she spams a lot. This feature could slightly curtail spamming (I'll explain why later). Furthermore, I doubt all the supporters and staff will want to switch their usertitle to indicate their rank. Why should regular members have to? (I'm referring to active members) I know I don't have that many posts, but I don't try to spam or maliciously neg-rep others (both of which puts more work on staff) and I actually try to put quality in my posts. A lot of times I'm just looking at threads where it wouldn't seem appropriate for me to respond anyway. A random person could easily join, donate $10, get the privileged feature, and spam as opposed to another who joins, is unable (not refusing) to donate, doesn't get the privilege, but puts quality posts, doesn't spam or mal neg-rep, and attempts to assist other members with hacks, new forum styles, etc. Quote:

As for the actual ranks, maybe we could throw in 'Frontier Brain', 'Poke-Maniac', 'Pokemon Researcher' and 'Pokemon Champion' in as well...? The 3 right after 'Pokemon Master' seem slighty uninspired from the Pokemon franchise... -------- In conclusion, I'd really like this feature for all members. If only icons can be permitted, I'll still be grateful we even have such an option. :) I'll reiterate that if another 'perk' for supporters is needed, custom ranks could be in place. I hope to see User Ranks in the near future! |
Oh man, the badges would be sweet.
Maybe you could change the shape in your User CP? ~Xyo~ |
I think this is an admittedly cool idea but we already have ways to distinguish people for their acheivments:
We have reputation and the pips that go along with it. We have emblems for members who distinguish themselves in certain things. We have supporter banners as well for those able to pay to help the site. We have post counts. |
