i look around the forum, and what do i see? people who joined last month who have a higher "rank" than me. Not that i care about rank, but its kinda sad when someone new has more posts than a 1 year veteran. Heres an example:

Registration Date July 16 2002,19:38
Last Profile Update Dec. 11 2002,21:11
Post Average 10.63 posts per day
Member Level: Super Advanced Members

notice anything wrong there? there is NO excuse to average 10 posts per day. Guys, we really dont care about rank. TarkanX is justified in having over 2000 posts; someone who joined 3 months ago is NOT.


In fact, because of this, i would like to ask that Rank be COMPLETLY REMOVED, OR, structured so that an avg. post per day over 7 LOWERS your rank.

This is completely out of control. And I also feel that if nothing else changes, then the posts in Random Insanity should be treated differently than the ones in XMvsSF Forum.

Just so you guys know, i feel that ideal is between .4 and 3.5 posts per day. Less is ok if you are the quiet type, a LITTLE more is fine as long as you're a respected member who helps people out, but higher than 6 per day and you're just spamming.

well i guess ur right
but most of the time, increase in the number posts came from flamings, random insanity comments, FAQ's of new members and such which is unavaoidable ;)

you're avg posts per day is a LITTLE high, but im not refering to you at all. avg 10 posts per day is UNACCEPTABLE.

LoL!
I hear ya Viper! :D

I joined last October, my posting average is around, 1.5 posts per day.(might be a little higher)

This is the second topic i have answered to today...and will probably be my last one for the day.

I suggested the ranking system be done away with as well.
Or be based off the duration of time the member has been with the forum.

Or a total restructure of the forum ranking system.
There could be only a few ranks here in the forum,instead of a bunch.

Administrator
Modorator
VIP Member
Member
N.o.o.b.

5 titles...each one pretty self explainitory.

If normal members have only one title they can achieve above N.o.o.b. (i/e: Member) by posting alot....then they will quickly lose interest in spamming the forum to achieve a higher rank.

Haha! Feel the wrath of my 3.73 posts per day!

I can't recall, but can Ikonboard support limiting posts per day for those below a certain rank? I know that the GameFAQs forums can do that, but I don't remember even checking if Ikonboard can do that back when I helped run Senshuk.

dan, thats a great idea. It works pretty well in gamefaqs, but then, Gamefaqs is a VERY different kind of community. Even if Ikonboard doesnt support it, they could maybe use the different "group" priveleges (ie, mods are able to post where we're not, and VIPs may be able to also).

Btw--im glad that SOME people have low posts per day.

and its 3.74 posts per day for you. HA!!!

yes.... i feel that it is qutie embarrassing when a ####ie comes and your rank is like member and then in one month there's is already like junior member and your's is still member
*coughbloodpackcough* :p i must have gotten a cold or something :laughlong:

pip99 advanced member i dont spam .... ..only 3.somethink a day...and who cares .........

viper I 100% agree with you. My post avg is 0.78 an I joined in August this year. It doesn't make any since to be a senior member in a matter of weeks.

For people who spam just to try to look cool with your high ranks, you're only making yourself look more like a noob than you did when you had the title.

I also agree with nosoul4evr's Idea about the five titles

u would hav 2 b a geek 2 think thats cool
