I have a suggestion for those who are responsible in here...

hi peeps! I'm some kind of a new member in here (only in here)...

as we all know... this vBulletin forums has great features... I suggest that making new features would be good... If you'll se the Forum in Next Gen Emulation site... <--- www.ngemu.com ---> it's forum section is the best that I can find on the world wide web... having a feature that there is stars whenever you'll have this number of posts...

e.g.
15 posts= one star
50 posts= two stars
150 posts= three stars... and so on...

or maybe being able customize this

Sniff_381
bla.. bla... whatever.. <--- this one

and last thing, being able to see the new posts already without having to look for them... <-- if you didn't understand this one... go here

There is a customizable rank where you can type anything you want into it but you can only get it if you have registered here for at least 8 months. Unless you mean something else totally different.

8 months??? that's quite a long time... and about that... sorry I didn't see... but how bout the avatars???? why so small??? maybe can post much bigger (size or pixels) something like 80x80 and about 20 kb... 5 kb is so small... can't post gif....

rank??? can it be something else??? what if the rank is indicated by some balls or stars??? number of stars??? number of balls?? and not that... that customizable ranks as you said can be just a customizable description of self...

I also suggest to see the number of posts the user had...

Sniff_381
bla..bla..

(avatar in here)
online
location:.........
posts: 69

Putting a rank with a person's name, or putting the post number, seems to inspire a lot of spam.

As for the small avatar sizes...some people have slow connections, so that works better for 'em. Can't you just take out some colors or something, anyway? *has no idea what he's talking about*

Oh, and don't double post. Use the 'edit' button.

I know... I just don't want it to be too long... Spammers??? why??? I didn't got this one??? what does spammers got to do with the one I suggested?

Don't worry about the length of the post :).

When rank is inspired by number of posts, some people decide to spam to get their rank up. Even when it's just a number under your name, people get worked up about it. That's just how people are. *shrug*

You can put whatever the hell you want in your custom rank, as long as it's relatively appropriate (I don't know; the admins draw the line with this one) and under 25 characters. No HTML/vB code, either. ;)

It goes like this:

A post count is by definition a count of all the posts a person has made. Showing how many each member has leads to a certain type of member spamming like mad... think Alpha male theory: The Alpha is the top of his society. He has breeding rights. And he will viciously bitchslap anyone who threatens his position. He will do whatever it takes to keep his rivals in a non-Alpha status. They're threats to his position - to his right to spread his genes.

Basically, showing post counts clearly encourages those more primordial members to think that getting a really high post count is important and thus, to get as high a post count as they can, they spam

It really isn't that difficult to comprehend...

There's a View New Posts button near the bottom of the front page that will show you all new posts since you last logged on. I personally don't like it though, since as this board is so large, it'll give several hundred results at times, too much for me to sift through :)

Damn, Spat's showed me up again....

*kills Spat and assumes the Alpha position*

*chuckles quietly at the irony of it all*

Eh? You accusin' me of being a mad spammer?! Waah! I'm not a spammer! If that was Aaron who'd said that, it'd be ironic... *notes this is spam*

...

Whoops...

And please stop spamming this thread up too.


Anyway, I doubt we'll ever see a post-based rank system at these forums. :)

Frankly, I think it's pretty much already gone to hell in a handbasket (stupid saying, really....).

*waits for it to be closed*
