Forums / Maintenance / Report Problems

Hey i just wanted to know how many different rankings there are. Maybe some hidden awesome ones? Curious I am…

As in Researcher, Jr. Researcher, etc.?

For normal members it goes-

Early Adopter (If you were in the first 100 to create an account)
Brand new member
Protomember
Member
Gold Membership
Jr. Researcher
Researcher
OVER 9000!!!1

Far too easy to get to Researcher.
For the mods, it can be anything.

There is:
Internet Scientist
Scientist Emeritus
Stub Entry Creator
Forum Mod
Entry Mod
Image Mod
Watcher
Tikibar Mgmnt
Community Mod
Japanese Translator
Staff Member
Staff Intern
Site Mod
Big Brother

Wait, so what are the requirements to get to a given rank? Is it based on posts or something?

Based on total contributions.

You forgot General Secretary of Takin' Names

Also, I'm the only one that has OVER 9000!!!1
Because I was the first out of anyone, including mods, to hit 9001 contributions.

I know that this is unrelated, but nice Slender Man pic :)

And now theres: 'real fuckin' talk'

Don't know what he does.

Edit:

It's Blake Boston, AKA Scumbag Steve.

I suppose.

Ah, if only I could be a staff member… imagine the power.

So can anyone get OVER 9000!!!1 rank, or only the person that reached 9000 contributions first, or the person with the most contributions?

One thing that needs to be explained is how one rises in rank. Is it based on Karma, contributions, what?

It's based on number of contributions, which is sort of misleading, as people who only post in the JFF section of the forum can get the 'researcher' title without actually helping with any research.

Karma is just a useless counter that people sometimes whore for. Not as much lately, so that's nice.

To my knowledge, only the first person to have reached that can have the rank, but we haven't had anyone reach that since then, so I haven't seen confirmation one way or the other.

They should have a list of the rankings and their requirements in the FAQ or on a separate page.

Perhaps we should revise the system to make it more difficult to become a full researcher. I'm willing to do the work.

I wish there were titles that one could actually brag having without being a mod or staff. Like the following (in order of difficulty):

Titles:
Sr. Researcher,
Honorary Researcher
Researcher Emeritus
Order of the KYM

Maybe badges or medals like

Meme Smart Alec
Meme Addict
Forum Lurker
Forum Molester
Forum Master
Image Flooder

Based on Karma (also in order of karma):

Acolyte
Preacher
Prophet
Pop Star
Messiah
Illuminated
Brigade Leader

Or, there should be a feature that allows us to customize a title, right under "Researcher".

Pop Star Forum Molester reporting for duty. lol!

I think there shouled be two seperate ranks, one for Meme Research and the other for Forum Usage.

However, the title that is displayed depends on which one has a higher count.

You're tellin me Karma is useless? I had so many stocks invested!

I know. The only thing that has been barely touched is the karma and ranks. I'd love to see just a minor change.

Hey, there's another mod rank!
Big Bro

Yeah, I accidentally called it 'Big Brother' in my list.
