Thus forum needs more member types!

[chris]

It seems you start out as Junior Member and then after 100 posts or so you become a Senior Member and that's it (unless you become a moderator/forum advisor or get banned).

Talk about boring…

Here is my recommended member types…

0-10 posts = Sheeple

11-50 posts = Researcher

51-100 posts = Conspiracy Nut

101-200 posts = Discerner

201-500 posts = Freedom Lover

501-1000 = Info Warrior

1,001-2,000 = Reptile Slayer

2,001-5,000 = Grand Master

5,001-10,000 = Ascended Grand Master in Nirvana

10,001+ = Complete Loser

[cruise4]

It would be more interesting. How about a reincarnation cycle built in? I talk so much shit I'm somewhat worried I'll be stuck on 'Complete Loser' :D

[eternal_spirit]

:D I like it! Wonder if I'll last long enough to be a Complete loser, oh wait I:eek: allready I am in a none figuaritive way


About signatures
How about a limit on font size ?

Some have theirs way too BIG

[astral_girl]

yeah sounds good to me -most forums have more ranking :p

[steevo]

Well Chris, the good thing is, there are no "complete losers" in here....yet :D(alledgedly).

lol, okay; say if you get to 11,111 posts you can select your own ranking and we'll have a ceremony and party around David Ickes house where he doubs you your selected name.

[chris]

Anyone got a ranking system of their own?

Lolz . Thats brill, i can just picture it right now a crowd of people outside Daves place chanting while Icke blasts a bottle of champagne off the second story balcony.. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif I christen thee!!!

lol!!! Surly no one could get to Nuits level of trolling, she was so innovative it was quite remarkable (in a weird way).

[light seeker]

I like Chris's ranking system and agree it would be good to see a few more ranks, and a bit more exciting than "Junior Member", "Member", "Senior Member". I was thinking only the other day that the ranking system seems a bit dull (no offence intended).

I'm a member on another forum too, and after x amounts of posts, i.e. when you surpass say, for example, 5,000 posts you can change your own rank as frequently as you want. You can make it comedic, reflect how you're feeling or whatever.

Overall, I like this idea. A reincarnation cycle somewhere would also give it a good twist.

:)

5,001-10,000 = Ascended Grand Master in Nirvana

That one cracked me up mate, genius!:D

We don't need to when we have yours!

I think it's a good idea to have more rating, it keeps the sheep in line and makes them feel proud when they get to a higher ranking:rolleyes::D

[allure]

There should also be more posts in a thread before it goes to a new page. 10 per page is too little, bump it to 20-25. Makes threads much more readable.

There may be a setting you can change to do this yourself, unless I'm thinking about tools from another forum. I'll check in to it!

Yeah and if there is a picture or a diagram at the top on the original post you dont have to click back to look again just scroll on up, would be better.

Better still, give user the choice, if it was me it would be 500 posts per page.

[adzboarder]

Oh cool - you can set the number of posts yourself on the User CP page:

http://www.davidicke.com/forum/usercp.php

It's under the "edit options" link on the left, the maximum is 40 which is a start I guess.

[allure]

Nice one, I've set it to 30, much better. :)

Ciggy achieved Arse-ended Master on the old forum. There is hope.

I think Ciggy was on like his millionth post by then

[malvern]

how about "truth seeker" ( member) or troll ( nolonger Member)

sorry oh "Grand Master" chris, I understand where you are coming from, but I feel that everyone should not be rated on how many posts, but on the quoality of the post... otherwise these "what your big toe pictures on my space posts " could make someone a grandmaster in a week ....



freedom is the grandchildren we are the grandmaster caretakers

I want a pair of these for my 1000th post:cool:

Spoken like a true Ascended Grand Master in Nirvana:rolleyes::D

[chris]

Bump, this forum needs more member types!

[gordonfreeman]

Indeed it does! Junior member and Senior member types are just boring, no sense of excitement or enjoyment when you post. The more post you have, the more you feel dominance...like a higher rank member in this kind of forum.

[red_ram]

This forum needs member types who don't carry on arguments for three pages. :D

[element]

I like some new forum member ''types'', but if they are too ''cool'' people are going to spam around.

Especially with something as reptile slayer. Bit harsh one also.

You've got my vote :D

[them]

How about using numbers?

Start with zero before ascending ever upwards with each thought you deposit here http://www.imbruglia-inside.com/smiley_thumbsup.gif

[soulja]

i dig your ranking system apart from the complete loser one, i know it's suposed to be funny but if i'd ever make it that far i'd seriously stop posting before reaching the loser status.

how about ''turqeous tracksuit pimp'' or ''son of godhead'' :D

or veteran of the reptile wars, or ''can tie his shoelaces'' whatever, anything is better than loser imo..

I think there ok the way they are, and that last one "Complete Loser" would sound insulting to some members. But I like the idea. I'll pass this on to the other admins and mods and see if they think it is a good idea or not.

[doyouknowyourdead]

Excuse me, Great Moderator, sir, but why is it that I am "a sheep" because I don't make thousands of electronic posts on David Icke's Official Forum on the internet?

I dare say staring at a computer, conversing/ranting/salivating over women in a text box, and pressing "send" is not the epitome of a warrior. Is that too daring of me to say? I mean after all, I have less than 20 posts.

[i_am]

Nice one, I've set it to 30, much better. :)

How many members don't know about this I wonder?

I have always had mine set on 20. After that it loads slower.

It is a problem though when people say 'on page so and so'. You must remember to divide that by 2 or 3 or whatever.

So everyone....give post numbers instead of page numbers :D

[quetzalcoatl]

I agree the member types could be spiced up a bit - purely for entertainment value. I like Chris' system & I don't think any members here would be offended by having Complete Loser status because we'll all know it's a joke & that person may come to realize that he/she might indeed need a bit more fresh air.

Also, Senior Member doesn't have the right feel to it for me.. I'm in my 20's ffs!

Who knows - if the member types changed - you might even get more Premium Subscribers.

All hypothetical of-course.

Why not put it to a voting poll & see what we all think, then Mods/Forum Advisors can make a more democratic decision.

[loderlive]

I want "more" please.

Found this - which I reckon's quite funny - while searching for a Bump emoticon.

how about adding a "thanks" button too, members needs thanks for their posts.

Ahh.. Lolcats! Course dats where it's from Tim. Didn't check where I stole it from. :D

[soulja]

i still don't like the loser one even tho i know it's ''funny'' but i prolly never reach that many posts anyway so you got my blessing.

not that you needed it :cool:

[astro zombie]

I love this idea Chris!:cool:

I think this definately needs to be done here.

[icke_is_right]

Chris's Ranker Ratings. :)
