Moderators > Gym Leaders ...
I'd like to pick up on this, seeing as that other thread was mainly about competitive battling;
Quote:
My View; (probably a little obvious) Moderators > Gym Leaders Super Moderators > Elite Four (idk, maybe change it to five) Admin's (all types) > Champions (i know theres a problem with the distinguishing admins, but I'm not so creative as to work around that) Mayybeee; Supporters > Advanced Trainers |
I honestly don't like the idea. \; The whole forum isn't just about Pokemon so basing the staff on Pokemon-related things would be weird IMO. Plus things are nice the way they are regarding the staff names. ;o;

I don't particular care for the idea either. Yes we are pokemon related board, but my preference is to relate them to staffing positions not Pokemon terminology. And you could also use Frontier Brain for a position name as well. Regardless I don't care for the name changes.
|
Well,since this is an idea that isn't used frequently,only on a few boards,like NUzlocke's(at least I've only seen it there),it might give a more unique feeling,but either way I don't care,and some members that went on hiatus,or left when coming back might be confused ...
|
I do not like this idea. It's just fine the way it is and we really don't need to correlate absolutely everything about the forum into Pokemon terminology. Besides, I imagine far more people to be disgruntled about something like this rather than appreciate a pointless name change.
|
The staff positions, names and colors have all changed before, but not recently, and I'm certain they won't change to this. Forum terminology will always be used over Pokemon terminology.
|
Yeah this is a great way to not confuse people as to which members have positions of power and should be looked towards when dealing with issues.

I sort of see where this is going anyway. /buries head in sand. |
It's a cute idea, but maybe for a Pokemon forum other than PC, because we've had the same staff ranks since the start, and I can't see too many staff members wanting them to change. PC is a lot more than a Pokemon forum, so even if it's one at it's core, it doesn't seem enough of one as a whole to have ranks so related to Pokemon. I do like the idea, I just don't think it's meant for PC.
|
They don't actually confer any sort of position of power though, they just come across as vanity ranks like PC Supporter.
You're trusting people to read a post somewhere explaining what the ranks mean on a board that we all know is full of people who don't read the rules when they should. |
Well, I wouldn't want to be a gym leader, because I have gotten bored of the Pokemon game. |
You could have PC supporter > Pkmn Trainer/ Rival?
Just a suggestion? |
I think it'd be less confusing for new members if our ranks stayed as is, because on most forums across the net, Administrators and Moderators are the standard titles. There's also the fact that changing them to these would make newbies think that all of the staff do competitive battling, which is simply not the case, and they would likely be slow to realize that we are actually the leaders of various forums, not competitive battlers. I think it's a cool idea, just not an idea suitable for PC, which isn't centered around competitive battling.
|
There is a difference between "cute" and "functional". Seeing how some of us have custom badges and all I guess some could go for it, but a new member that comes from another forum will expect to see moderators, not "gym leaders" XD
Also if any I want to be a Rocket Executive |
That makes me see moderators/staff as opposition, since that's what gym leaders and such are.
|
We should probably add more trainers & other ranks. Good thinking, though.

Moderators were Gym Leaders. Super Moderators were Battle Frontier Brains. Assistant Admins were... I can't remember. ): Staff Admins were the Elite Four (because there's four of them) Site Admin would then be the Champion. We also said Emblems should be badges, and at the time of when we used to have Reputation, that should have been called Experience Points. But, nobody here seems to like much creativity when it comes to some things (although, I do like our staff title ranks the way it is), so ... Abort! Abort! Abort! Edit: You guys will like Jake's icons. Just saying. |
I was kidding around when I posted that. But it is a nifty idea to be more Pokémon-like!

I'd rather stay a mod. Plus, I'm too fierce to be just a gym leader. I am clearly the champion of RBY.
|
I wonder if my last blog had anything to do with this.
