yeah... but that
was my opinion about the
1,000 posts and 5 rep pips
but lets turn it into
2,500 posts and atleast
8 rep pips? it also
would be a hard task..​

1. You fail to see the way in which you would get the images.
2. 2500 posts isn't that much really. With all the rep parties going around, it's not hard to get 8 rep pips either.

The number of posts don't judge a new staff - the quality of the posts do normally.
Anyone could easily achieve 1000 posts by posting short, unreadable spam around the community to increase their post count.

And as for reputation, don't even get me started. Reputation is given by normal members too, and is not a deciding factor for anything at all, not even respect or something stupid along the line.
They can be, and they already are given for no real reason at all most of the times, and it'll take most members years to understand that reputation is to judge the quality of a post, not whether you like it or not, so this is not needed either.
Besides, there is already a mechanism for viewing reputation on the upper right side of any person's post.
And besides, 5 reputation points are way to less. I think you even start out with such rep in the first place... 150 rep would be considered noticeable.

i am a newbie hear
so i dont know much
about it.. i meant to say
5 green thingys.. i thought
it was called rep.. so
i said 5 reps..​
 
I'm on another VB site that does the following method

0-100 : Beginning Member
101-500 : Member
501 - 1000 : Senior Member
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.

It's okay. If you're talking about 5 green thingy, that could be meaning a high amount of rep, but my point remains that reputation can be abused, and so it isn't the right way for judging anything anyways...

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...
 
I would love picture based user ranks. I mean it could be for normal members(like the mod sign and supporter sign) but with a picture of sorts...

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...​

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 :)
 
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.

Copied this from another forum I frequent.
 
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.
 
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.​
 
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...
 
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...
 
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.
 
I doubt many would spam just to get a new little rank bar >.< That'd be pretty funny xP
 
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.
 
Yes there we go! Custom images for your userbar thing like the Admins do. But who would do it and why ?
 
All the staff will still have to vote on this and I don't think all of them would like it. o3o
