User Levels

[DrauL]

Hi Devs,

would something like this be able to be added? Seems like a good idea to me :)

[Undead]

lets not enforce further elitism

[DrauL]

not elitism, just levels to show posting.
not everything is have yourself higher than others.

I would prefer funny titles.

[titiPT]

that would further encourage users to post more and basically spam the whole forum

[Undead]

not elitism, just levels to show posting.

you have spammed posts

you get a "prestigious" title because of this

others don't have this title, because they don't spam

people want to be in the "cool" club with "cool" user titles so they spam like you.

see the issue?

[DrauL]

why do you assume I spam?

hi iam new here

It will promote elitism.

And those with a lower title/level will feel belittled.

I'm not sure whether implementation should be this way. but I always find it interesting that the participants' ideas are valued ...

There is a very interesting thread to read.
I believe it should be reopened.

So basically mean you get classified according to your post count. This would be a good idea in a forum environment well regulated and well moderated/administrated in which the user's posts have certain value to the forum community, for example in a help desk sort of forum in which the value of the post is measured by the usefulness of the answer (not popularity), clearly in this specific forum there is little to no value in almost every post except in some cases.
If this were to be implemented on this forum, yes, it would promote even more the 'elitism' but this fact depends greatly on what is the specific forum title and if it puts a higher poster 'above' someone or if a high post count grants you a 'right' as this clearly would favor forum spammers...so I think it is a bad idea on this specific forum.

Because of this reason, we won't. Forum is supposed to stay as light-weight as possible.

I actually thought about this just the other day, then realised that it would simply encourage empty posts from those who are unable to control themselves. I don't think we need to encourage that.

[Nightmare]

3000+ posts = SMG Users

[ExodusS]

This system always encourages spam. No please.

[Orynge]

They aren't necessary.

[pweaks]

I think that function only works at bigger forums.

I believe that many in the forum have a short memory.
You need to understand the logic behind the moderation.
It is very difficult to "measure" the opinions of the forum members. That's because many of the proposed ideas are fleeing the game goal.
The question would be what is the proposed objective to the game ...

In addition there are other steps to be undertaken before ...

How, for example, argue over whether moderators should belong to clans.
Finally, I propose a thread that could add to this idea.

So. basicly your saying were all stupid.

Only some of us are.

So basically, killerjoe, you're saying that you can't make an intelligent, and objective, contribution to the discourse with which 1cap expressed his own opinion in this thread?
If your level of competency is beneath the level of understanding what 1cap was trying to articulate, than maybe it is a comment to your own aptitude...But he never accused anyone of being 'stupid'...
If you are insinuating that yourself, well...
'If the shoe fits, wear it...'

As for User Levels, I think that is reasonable to assert that there are members of the community that would be unlikely to behave with honest rapport in posting responsibly.
Alternatively, I think that it may not be a feature pertinent to AssaultCube....Though it is a novel idea...
