Absolute Anime

[quote="AA's Pixie"][quote="AA's Pixie"]Hmmmmm.... post ranks eh? I've been to places with these before...

Since AA is all about anime, I thought that a Dojo Theme might be nice. Since it is also Asian, I thought it would wrok extremly well with what we have.

White Belt:
1-50 posts
Anyone under 50 posts is considered a white belt. They are considered new and know not much of how AA works. They can only purely post, not much else.

Yellow Belt
51-100 Posts
These people proved that they are actually going to stick around AA. That they plan on being true to the site and abide by our rules. They have now earned the ability to PM other users.

Orange Belt
101-250 Posts
These people hgave shown that they do completely wish to stay here. They have now earned the right to edit a post, so long as no one has posted after them.

Green Belt
251-500 Posts
They have the right to now tell someone what they are doing wrong when they see fit to do so. They know the basics of the site and know what is expected of them.

Blue Belt
501-1000 Posts
These people have the right, if they so choose to do so, adopt a White Belt.

Purple Belt
1001-2050 Posts
You people have shown that you have earned the right to get a more space in your siggy.

Red Belt
2051-5000 Posts
Now that you are red belt, we expect the smae type of behaviour we expect from our mods. We expect you guys to carry yourselves with great respect and respcet others.

Black Belt
5001-10 000 Posts
You are the most senior of senior users. Maybe even more senior then some Mods, who knows. We expect nothing but the best from you. We expect that you will help keep peace, alert us of questionable threads and or users. Keep an eye out for those that you feel would be a "problem", but tell a Mod about it. We would rather you not take maters in your own hands.

I suggest, rather then calling them just Mods, call them, "Masters" For that is what they are. They are the masters of AA. they teach, they keep peace and make sure everything is running smoothly. They are our police if you will. So to keep with my dojo like theme, they should be "Master" rather then Mod.

Adopt a White Belt:
This is what I think a great idea. For all those that wish to participate in such things. To help our little novices get used to our forum, I think that a Blue Belt is good enough to help them out. Think of it as a Mentor like you would have in high school or University. They would help them get used to the place and help them allow AA to feel like a tue home to them too.

Punishments:
This is very simple. As you pregress in a normal Tae Kwon Do belt system, there is stripes. These indicate that someone is half way to a belt. If someone is reported, or is caught not following the rules, they will be degraded.
Example:
Blue Belt -> Blue Stripe -> Green Belt -> Green Stripe -> Orange Belt -> Orange Stripe -> Yellow Belt -> Yellow Stripe -> White Belt

Through this, someone could lose there Black Belt in a matter of a few hashly put posts. For White Belts though, they have two chances. If they have a Mentor, and they have not stepped in and laid down the rules and told them what they did, then the Mentor shall be degraded on the third account. If they have a trouble some Adoptee, then other actions might have to be taken.[/quote]

I forgot to add somethings...

When it comes to being degraded down a belt of stripe, you can go back to where you were, or should be after 7 days. The more wrongs you do though, the even more time you must wait...

For the "Adopt a White Belt" once they are Yellow Belt, then they are no longer your responsiblity. Now they are on their own.

Aswell, with Black Belt, you need to have a perfect record for atleast a month. I mean, no down grades for a whole month before you can be a Black Belt as well as meet the proper post specicafations.[/quote]

I think Pixie's system is the best and most efficient. I am not saying that out of biased opinion, she has put quite a bit of thought into hers and has developed some really neat systems for punishment and new policies. I vote for hers. Peace out

What about things like

0 - 20 Newbie
21 - 40 Warrior
41 - 100 Knight
101 - 500 Hero

and so on (I will think of some if that idea suits you).

btw: if you are about to create ranks anyway you could also do specific ranks for each group (like Kardis' Sweetheart Clan you can make the groupinternal rank "Sweetheart"). That would be how we could distinguish the individual clans from each other.

I like the sound of this one ^. Expand a bit more on it like pixie did. It would work well.

I could expand everything a bit so it would take a bit longer to earn the next rank (some people post quite far so this would make sense)


0 - 20 Newbie
21 - 100 Warrior
101 - 500 Knight
501 - 1500 Crussader
1500 - 5000 Samurai
5000 - 10000 Hero
10000 - 20000 Legend
from 20000 choose own rank

What about this

Go for it man .

About taht whole "Choose Your Own Rank", I thought I had said somethign about that already... but after rereading it, I guess I forgot... Oh well, I meant that with Red Belt, you get the option to choose not a rank, but another name. Well, I title if you will. They would have the choice to be like anything they like. An Example would be, "Spiffiest Ninja" or, "Richest Pirate" Anything really. It's just a title taht you may like, along with your belt.

i am familar with the rankign situation when i was a member at lunareb its been a while sicne i logged on but the way the did there rankgs was fine i tihnk adultswim does rankign as well i think it is a great idea webmaster

Maybe we should try something that's a little less discriminatory...just because someone's new to AA, doesn't necessarily mean that they don't know how to conduct themselves on a forum.

I don't have much posts and I have the habit of doing several things wrong in what I write, so I'd like to keep my editing privelages 'less I give someone the wrong impression if I type something that isn't understandable. And then another thing goes wrong (like a pie fight or something with shiny, sharp words and then we all get in trouble)

I also like the idea of anyone being able to help anyone out. I'm not the type to just discuss whatever I can grab out of the blue but...helping. or answering questions.

Although I don't have anything right now at the moment, post numbers could be the the requirements to get a higher rank (whichever comes next) unless you'd like to include how much time (minutes, hours, days, etc) are needed to go to the next step.

This is actually taking after the days I've spent on Adultswim.com and it's just grown on me. If I logged back on (after about a year) I'd probably be a SwimLegend with a couple more hours on there and a bit of posts on my account.

Someone can take a look at how adultswim.com and see how they do it. But these ideas people are coming up with here aren't bad at all. If I think of something else, I'll come back.

Hey Ken, sup. I got a few of my own rankings here. I just wanted to make them in the general theme of anime and not one series specifically so, here goes:

(Sorry Elven, imma bout ta jack your format =p)


the [suffix] can be replaced with member, poster. "anime-er" or any other title you see fit or perhaps even remove them at times.

Posts>Title
0-10>Baka[suffix]
11-20>Super Sayajin[suffix]
20-35>Ramen Noodle Eating[suffix]
35-50>Otaku[member]
50-100>Ninja[suffix]
100-200>Mobile Suit Operating [suffix]
200-350>Full Metal[suffix]
350-500>Dragon[suffix]
500-750>Veteran [suffix]
750+>Absolute [suffix](consider replacing with Absolute Anime All-star or something along the lines of A.A.)

The reason i think this system will rule is...because early on people can get new titles rapidly, and that's really important. Earning new titles is kind of...fulfilling....and gives you a reason to get involved. It makes A.A. easily accessible.

I also think that Moderators should get new titles too...they should be expempt from the title system and be given more professional titles such as:

Jr. Staff [member]
Managers (top mods?)

Also the top members/posters can be given special titles such as

-kame(for guys, implying god/master)
-hime(for girls, implying princess)

The title system can be used to have:

Member of the Week(count)

Think of a special title somone can have for a week starting and ending on sunday. Announcing that person's name on the home page and letting others get to know them better. This way we can create a pretty close-knit community. If we allow people to show off their importance, then more people would want to get in on it. Everyone is looking for a place to be noticed, i think these ideas will help em a lot.



-Oh nice to meet you new kids too.

Gotta say, that totally topped everyone else's ideas.
And the idea with earning titles quickly at the beginning, very smart.

I say Ender's idea is the best for now. He's got everything figured out.

The phpBB forum software has two different kinds of ranks, automatic (based on post counts) and manual (where I have to assign it). Unfortunatlly, I just don't have the time to constantly change people's ranks manually. Heck, I even forget to do it sometimes when I make someone a moderator. So this contest is all about the automatic system. Still, I will take suggestions for manual ranks, just so long as it doesn't involve me needing to constantly change it.

You don't need to constandly change them yourself. Can't you asign a specific rank to a group?
Besides: http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/427 I already installed that myself and it works fine .

I have not seen any way to assign a specific rank to a group. If I did, I would have done it a long time ago with the Moderators group. I'll take a look at that mod you mentioned and see if it might be worth installing.

I sooooo love phpbbhacks.com XD

Group Rank Hack

Description wrote:This hack allows you to give different ranks for groups. You can also use a minimum post count for these ranks so the same function that is now for all users can be added with this hack.

i'm new to this forum but i'll post my non-recognised opinion i think that the belt idea is pretty good so thumbs up

i'm clueless here and i dont know what is going on and it scears me. why do we need ranks?
