User Ranks??

A supporter privelage at least?
 
Yes for all tiers perhaps.
 
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.
 
I'm sure once one person would do it, lots of others would learn how to as well.
 
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
 
But something special could be like... hosting contests, helping new members - idk, it could vary, like the staff choosing who to give emblems kinda.
 
Yeah that might work Nica.. as long as it was an achievable target for all members and not just the popular & well known ones.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 ;;
 
You're forgetting the point that a member created this thread.
 
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?).
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
