Welcome to the Super Skarmory Forums guide to understanding the ranking system. You have probably noticed as you have signed up to these forums that some users have different colored usernames and what not. This thread will explain everything you need to know about the ranking system.

It is not difficult to understand the ranking system. The ranking system is a way to measure how awesome of a member you are based off of three criteria. These three things are posts, reputation, and time on the site. Once all three criteria are met, you will upgrade to the next rank. There will be a thread on reputation that I will add in a day or five, somebody remind me to update this with a URL to that thread if I forget to update this. Ranks are used primarily to show your impact on the community and how long you have been here as well as that you are a contributing member to the community. It is mainly just for show but it does come with some added benefits. Upon reaching a new rank, your account in gaming terms levels up and you gain a few new added features that you can utilize. The ranking system is not very large so we have listed the details on all primary usergroups that you can be apart of, (which will be) including staff ranks (when I get around to editing this thread) which you should familiarize yourself with so you understand who to go to for certain situations.

Banned/Suspended Users (Black in color)
These users are incapable of doing anything with their account for breaking site rules.

Unregistered User/Guest
Self explanatory, person viewing without an account.

Needs Email Confirmation
This is a person who has yet to confirm there account from the automatic email sent out. Users are heavily restricted from site usage.

Normal Rank (No Special Color, default of the skin)
Normal users are the default user and there is currently nothing lower. You start with all standard account abilities and it would take too long to list all standard features that you have. You must understand that Normal Users accounts are mildly restricted, it does not take much to reach Bronze Rank. We restrict new users purposefully to avoid people from abusing certain functions early on, this is particularly for spammers/trolls/bots/people that are not here to obey the rules and will quickly get bored when we crush their dreams. Think of it as a test.

Notable Restrictions that might be of interest:
Your PM box can hold 100 messages.
You cannot upload attachments to your posts. (We discourage this no matter what but it is turned off for normal users)
Profile Picture Max Size is 150 by 150.
Avatar Size is 100 by 100
Signatures Can Only have 250 characters including BB Code and 100 without BB Code. Your sig is still expected to be a reasonable size.
You cannot upload images for your signature.
Color, Size, and Video BBCode are purposefully turned off in signatures
Your Sig can only contain up to 2 images, yes, this is on purpose.
You cannot give reputation at this rank, we do not want new users abusing the system.
Profile Customization is disabled
You can only create 1 group and it cannot be deleted until you reach Bronze Rank
Normal Users must have at least 1 post to use both the chatbox and the arcade.
Arcade play is limited to 25 times playing in one day, this cap is removed at bronze rank.

Bronze Rank
Requirements: 50 Posts, 0 Reputation, 7 Days on the Site
NOTE: 0 Reputation means your reputation is NOT negative, you can have a negative reputation so if users see you as spammer or potentially negative member of the community, you may not reach this rank. Assuming you make reasonable posts for your first week, this rank is easily attained.

Notable Account Upgrades:
Can view who has visited a thread.
Can upload very small attachments
Your PM storage now holds 250 messages and you can send messages to 3 people at a time.
Profile Pictures can now be 200 by 200 pixels.

Your album permissions have been increased.
You can customize your profile's appearance.
You can make 2 groups, and delete your own groups.

Silver Rank
Requirements: 100 posts, 5 reputation, 14 days on the site
Note: You must establish a positive reputation. Admins have powerful reputation powers and Majorasfan, Zach, and myself will make sure to give positive reputation to members that are making good posts. Reputation is subject to change based on how much people use the system.

Notable Account Upgrades:
Attachment size increased to around one MB.
500 stored PMs and can send to 5 people at a time.
Signatures can have 750 characters including BB Code, 300 without, you are still subject to have a reasonably sized signature.
The Size BB Code maximum size is increased to 4 and will continue increasing up the ranks, do not abuse this.
Number of images in a sig is increased to 5.
You now can leave negative reputation, please only leave it on people that you think are posting something that is negative to the community.

Gold Rank
Requirements: 250 posts, 25 reputation, Approximately 1 month on the site
Notes: Gold members are considered excellent members of the community and this is a milestone rank to receiving benefits.

Notable Account Upgrades:
You can now delete your own posts and tags to your thread.
Attachment size is increased to 10MB
You can store 1000 PMs and send to 10 people at a time.
Profile Pictures can now be 300 by 300 pixels in size.
Avatar sizes can be 180 by 180 pixels in size, both profile and avatars are at there max sizes at gold rank.
You can upload images to your signature, but we still prefer you use URLs through BBCode.
Signatures can be 1000 characters including BB Code and 500 excluding BB Code, you still are expected to have a reasonable sized sig.
You can have up to 10 pictures in your sig, but this limit will only be useful for several smaller pictures and you should probably not need a limit this high.

Interesting system. I like the idea on amount of days you have to be on here and the benefits you get on here as you go. What idea would be for the next ranks to come on the forums is what I am wondering. Ex: Colors, benefits, maybe new sections once you get to certain rank.

MiniTapp
06-17-2012, 11:18 AM
This system is much better since you won't have people just farm posting to gain a higher rank, which got a bit old really. This encourages people to make constructive posts.

Christian
06-17-2012, 12:26 PM
I agree, this is a really good system - Maybe it won't prevent the spam but it will help since you no longer can achieve higher without getting reputation.

One thing Eyan, could the 'Random Question' for each post be removed for bots? It's getting quite irritating. I can understand it is to prevent bots etc, but once we get to Bronze rank we're most likely going to be posting properly.

This may just be me, but I really see no use in having to know who looks at a thread. Unless you're paranoid that mods are not moderating or something.

I also may be the only one who cannot use quick reply. Otherwise, this system is pretty good in my book.

I love this- I will work hard and my main goal will be getting to the top(without spamming obviously, that's cheating :) )! It will take a long time, but i hope by that time it will be deserved.

anyway, this seems like a great, fair system.

Well, if there's more users that also means there is more people who can deal out reputation. The system is even more genius than you think :D

I Think I just got kicked from chat. I was mad because everyone was calling me Miss. Ingno which made me made because
1. I am not a girl
2. Thats not my username

So I spammed the word "Glitch!" because Missingno is a glitch and I wanted them to get that straight. So I think I was BANNED from chat, because now I can't use chat.
So I was wondering how long I am banned from it and how to be able to use chat again.

How do you see your exact rep

Christian

How do you see your exact rep
(Top right corner)Settings->(Left sidebar)General settings.

Shiningbolt
07-20-2012, 05:03 PM
You can check your rep by going to Settings. Scroll down on the menu to the left until you find something called General Settings under the "My Account" tab thingy (the words "My Account" are in white text). In the Login & Privacy Section from there, you should see "Reputation Level" and the next number you see under that will be your rep. Hope I helped

Edit: Or I can be ninja'd. That works, too. By the way, I suggest adding that to this thread's first post, so people won't have to ask all the time.

You have to wait for it to take effect. For whatever reason it was the same way for me. It took forever for it to change me to Silver, but when I could become a Gold User it happened immediately.

Dont give up. You'll all reach it, rep isn't an issue. It's more the time needed for said rank that gets everyone. Just make long and meaningful posts that contribute to the conversation, drop in the Chatbox and put a smile on someone's face, be a people person, and you'll be gold in no time.

Here is some rep to motivate you. ^_^

Zach has stated that the staff cannot change the code at the bottom of the page at the moment, sorry. And the color is Purple because everyone loves Purple.



We umm...

Can't exactly fix that right now. We would if we could. But due to certain circumstances that I am unable to disclose at the moment, we're going to have to leave the legend outdated for the moment.

One potential remedy I could do for now is change the admins back to red, but.... I kinda like purple. xP

Suggestion: The rank system should be like:

Bronze: 50 posts. No neg rep (the way it is now).
Silver: 100 posts and 10 rep or 50 rep (whichever comes first).
Gold: 250 posts and 50 rep or 125 rep (whichever comes first).
Crystal: 500 posts and 100 rep or 250 rep (whichever comes first).
Emerald: 1000 posts and 250 rep or 425 rep (whichever comes first).

That way people who make really good or longer posts don't have to spam the forum to go up in rank.

No, that is an awful idea. Ranks are supposed to be hard to earn, the way you are putting it is making it so that ranks are about 10 times easier to earn. Plus, if we implemented your recommendations right now, about a fourth to a third of the active members on here would be crystal by now, and that is a huge number. Also, there is the chance that a member can make one post, ask everybody to rep that one post, and gain ranks, and they are supposed to be the example members as well. This will mean that everyone will follow his/her actions. Besides, rep isn't that hard to come by, neither is time, and anyone can make a post. The system is already broken enough, and you are trying to break it even farther.

I don't think it will make ranks easier to get.

If I remember correctly doesn't only one member have over 500 rep and that many silver users have about 20-50 rep?

I'll admit, I never had to worry about ranks in terms of rep, because I got all my rep through art and fanfiction mostly. Its not that easy for the other members, though. That's why I always try to give out rep as much as possible to any member who is not crystal. The post count numbers are also partially unfair because only 70% of my posts are productive. The rest of them come from Things like Favorite forum quotes, and AmA threads. That's why I think the post count addition should be disabled from the Meet the members forum as a whole. As for the FFQ thread, if you can make post count not add on for one solo thread, I'd recommend this as well.

Ok, Imma end this argument right now. Ranks are as useful as a car with square tires. You will never be remembered for your rank. No one will go "Oh, remember that one crystal user?" when the forum starts to die out. No one has been remembered for a rank (except for probably Melchior, but that's beside the point), and no one will ever be. Spamming for ranks isn't really worth the time and effort, neither is rep begging.

If you are however one of those people who will spam and rep beg for something like that, then just be patient. Your time will come. Besides, that's what the time requirements exist for.

There's nothing too special about Emerald rank, imo. Honestly, I was hoping for something good out of the next rank, like deleting posts that other people made on YOUR thread, or something else. Oh well...

Then they would be overpowered, and we don't want that now do we? I think that the ranks are just fine. Anymore power and we would just call Emerald rank "Mod Rank".

Lol, I literally just read this whole thread starting from page 11. Seriously, it was probably the funniest thing I ever read on here.

Anyway, I must ask something because I'm curious. If there is or was ever going to be a Ruby rank, wouldn't it come before Emerald? I think in order from lowest rank to highest rank it would go Normal, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald. After Emerald, I would think it would be the "special" rank Eyan talked about. If the ranking system didn't end with that rank, I would think after Emerald it would go Diamond, Pearl, Platinum. After Platinum maybe it would end with the "special" rank. I don't know, it's just some ideas I brainstormed.

I don't think there are anymore benefits that you can give. User titles would be great, though. Tim, then there would be no reason to go up in ranks, they've ran out of benefits, the only reason to rank up would be to get a different color for your username.

Of course there will be another rank. It'll be the Melchior rank! Only the spammiest of spammers can achieve such a noble title. 10,000 posts and 1000 rep required. You get access to the staff forum as well as play a crucial part in deciding upcoming events for the forums!

Edit: If what you say is true, and it is, then the ranking system should have stopped at Crystal and given the few benefits that Emerald actually offers to Crystal. After Crystal then you could potentially have the special rank, or as suggested by Red, the "Melchior" rank.

Well, what are you going to do? Posts have to be a requirement to achieve ranks. After all, that's why the rank would be called the Melchior rank. Spamming is how Melchior achieved his ranks.

What Eyan said about 3 ranks after Crystal rank - I personally think that the three ranks after Crystal are Emerald, Platinum, then the "special rank" he was talking about. And that "special rank" might be the "Super Skarmory rank" from forumotion.

If anybody doesn't know, the Forumotion ranking system was a joke. You can spam on any section, even forum games, and get high ranks from just spamming. Rep, and time were not a factor, just posts. At least on here, you have to actually make good posts if you want a higher rank.

Dumb Rank Ideas.
You can delete your own thread.
You can change your own user color. (Like I can change my color for my username)
You can pick how much rep you want to give to someone. (Like I have a power to give out 10 rep but I can pick from 1 to 10 to give someone. I'll give out 5 rep to people if I could.)

Just ideas. But you might think its dumb. But WHATEVER.

Actually, I think all of those ideas are good except for the second one. I don't think having the ability to change your username color would be such a good idea because people would get confused as to what rank you actually are and that's what the username colors identify you as. As far as the other two, I think deleting your own thread should have been implemented at Gold rank. Having the ability to choose how much rep you want to give is a good idea because you may want to give rep to a user, but you don't want to give the highest amount you can give (10 for me) or however much you think they should be given.

Anyway, I think more rewards should be given to Emerald. It's not that different than Crystal at all.

How so? I mean Crystal Users are at the same "level of dignity" because they have nearly the same amount of powers as Emerald Users do (as stated many times). What makes Emerald Users any higher than Crystal Users?
