I concur.  I didn't see it updated in your post about rankings and whatnot, so I was confused.

Good point. I'll add it to my thread.

Or 3: You can ban him.

I'll just add the behavior to the list of ban-able offenses. This issue is worked out, so I'm locking the thread.

Uh... I followed the directions and now my computer isn't working.

What happens in Anarchy, stays in Anarchy.

That's actually a pretty good rule to go by. It'll probably be added to the list of "rules" before Anarchy comes back.

*sigh* ok,now up voting me to ascended is a little much. I do want to earn it, I'm just asking that it be easier to.

It will be. Actually, once I initiate this recalculation it'll knock a few Mythics and Legendaries off their rating.

No, but its stupid as shit how everything is a popularity contest. If you're a new member of the community you get treated like shit and don't get access to anything. Since because you're not part of the inner circle you have a 0% chance to ever even be upvoted to be able to have more customization options. Not to mention I hate how all of the voting for our moderators was based off of popularity,  not by whether or not said user that was nominated has even moderated anything before.

Everything isn't a popularity contest...

Trust is, and that's what it was made for. The popular members get high trust. Make a good post and I guarantee you'll get +1'd by someone (or multiple someones). I know some users are vocal about how they downvote everyone, but they really can't do anything to users who fall within the normal to Heroic band. The Prefixes use weighted Trust values and it takes more than just how many red or green votes you have into account.

There are plenty of active people here that are still on the starting rank. Most of the people with mythic and up are part of the circle jerk.

For good reason. And you don't really have that many posts in comparison to users like SoporificSlash or TBlocks. Like I said, the system will be tweaked to make it easier to progress if you're actively posting, but you will always be at risk of sliding backward. That's just the way this works, and it's the reason there are two measures of how well you post (Trust and post count).

Just give us custom nameplates already! Instead of having people vote on crap that they want that others might not want. Let us make nameplates and titles to our satisfaction. Jesus Christ, all of the good shit here is based off of whether or not you're in the "inner circle" and everyone votes on your shit because you're popular. For example, Custom nameplates. Which you said can only be used by people at the mythic rank. When the only way to even get there is to be up voted by people. And just because some asshole downvotes you for no reason  you can never get to mythic. Everything here is based off of a goddamn popularity contest and whether or not the circle-jerkers like you. Which is not how it should be. Shit,  even some of the mods were only voted due to the fact that its a popularity contest. Just let everybody here be able to customize their profile as they see fit. Without having to be at some bullshit rank to even get nice nameplates/custom titles.

I've recently figured out how to grab the info for custom plates, so that'll be a work in progress soon. But it's not going to be handed out to everyone from the start.

Sorry if that pisses you off, but rewards for high rank on forums (and in video games) promotes activity. The Prefixes will be tweaked to make it easier for active members to progress and the other custom stuff will bind to other criteria like posts or a combination of posts and Trust. Custom titles will be only for the high Prefix, but the others (nameplates, user bar color, and post color) will probably be dependent on something else.

I'll say that again: custom nameplates won't bind to the top Trust rating. That slot is for custom titles. I don't know what it will bind to, but it'll most likely be a high post count rank.

What is the greenish one for? Is it for a specific rank?

No idea yet. It's one of the "special" plates that cover the entire bar, so I'd like to bind it to a specific achievement or something.

Yeah..... since the other mods have a custom one the OG mod// one is kind of unique to me now.

I'll make you one of your own. What's your poison?

EDIT: Fuck it. I'll make it Slash exclusive. Sorry everyone who was partial to that plate...

What was that black spotted one you were sporting a few days ago?

"Cheat."

Mods and admins each get one of their own. I don't think Slash has actually requested/applied for one, but Kiyo and Demonic have one as well.

Seriously?
I never knew he was testing a green bar....
Good eyes

It's called Pestilence. Not quite all the way green, but it's nice.

I'll model it for you.

Get me a list of clever, yet tasteful, catchphrases and I will get to work.

Because a dingo ate his baby!

Is it too late to request one?

Nope. It can be added to the poll that will be up next week.

Good news everyone!

I've finally figured out how to pull the data from custom profile fields, so if you've posted in this thread, please add your info into your profile as well. Once I push the update to the forum then your stuff will show up when someone clicks your sig open.
