Rank Systems

[Joaneh]

This forum allows for Kevin or I to promote people to various positions of power. Right now the two technical groups are admins (Kevin and myself) and moderators. There is also an option to allow for other special groups of peons kiddos. However, I'm sort of wondering how necessary any of that is at the moment. So my question boils down to..

Moderators; A necessary or unnecessary evil?

From what I know of who the groups consists of there will be maybe four people outside of Kevin and I using the forums. Possibly more if the card playing only side of the team joins up. Which makes me personally feel as if they aren't really something to worry about it. With that being said though there is the possibility that people may want jobs to do to feel helpful (mind you posting is super helpful!).

Outside of that there is the general question of how should ranks work out? With the knowledge that on other forums there are various ranks to attain that mean all sorts of good things. There are rank systems based on post count - 25 posts means x, 50 means y, etc. etc. Some are based on how helpful you are either in the lime light or behind the scenes. Right now for how little of a place this is I'm thinking a post count system will be best, but that's just me. Then, along those lines, what would the various ranks be called?

So what do you guys want in regards to moderators?
Should there be special groups?
If so what would they be called and what would their job be?
What about in regards to how ranks should be assigned?
What are some nifty rank titles?

Since for now everyone knows everyone, I don't think we need mods or special groups. Ranks should be assigned by Russian Roulette, winner take all . Maybe drawing a rank out of a hat for all of those wussies. Never really saw much value in ranks in small discussion boards.

[KevinBlaze]

Russian Roulette? Sounds good to me :-)!

[Alfax]

Me first! No wait, you first.

Mods seem rather unnecessary since we have such a small group, but should this explode for whatever reason then you could appoint them at your leisure.

Rank sistems always seemed kinda silly to Me, but I suppose that's the point. So I could be down with it if it were funny enough.

[Joaneh]

As far as rank names and such I was thinking along the lines of the type of names we were using for the avidgamers forums.. If anyone remembers those.

If there are any suggestions for funny titles just poke me.

Otherwise I may turn certain people in Heroes Fanatic wants to poke battle or something.

So, I appear to be a cookie minion, what's that?

[Jeremiah1310]

It seems those may not be ranks since we always seem to be those no matter what (Kevin = chocolate milk, Joan = chocolate cookie, etc.) and we are divided into two teams: Team Milk (Kevin, Joel, CJ, and myself) vs Team Cookie (Joan, Alfax, and Andy) with Kevin as the leader of the Milk clan and Joan of the Cookie clan, hence why they're chocolate. And every night when the moon is full, there is a showdown at noon between the rival gangs with the winners consuming the other team. Don't worry, no one gets hurt.

[Joaneh]

Haha.

So you guys are very quick on the change.

Also good job on figuring out who everyone is, xD.

I may be changing them around after a while. But it was really a way to try and figure out how to give out special titles for people.

Any suggestions on titles are welcome. Otherwise I'm just going to play around with them a ton.

Or really.. Suggested themes for titles would be super.

What the heck is with this "Jack the Ripper" motif?

[Alfax]

WHORE?!?!?!!!

killed..

[Alfax]

Ahem.

DEAD PROSTITUTE?!?!?!!!

[Wade8813]

LoLz!

Someone was a little busy laughing..

Dead.. lolz..

[Wade8813]

Someone was a little busy laughing..

Dead.. lolz..

Waitaminute - Jack the Ripper killed female prostitutes. A gentleman qualifies as neither.

[Alfax]

Yes, but by posting merely "lolz" you were to be considered spamming. A prime target for murder.

[Wade8813]

Oh, because our forums are so busy, that we're suddenly worried about that? I mean, srsly, me saying 'lolz' is about as much of a contribution as half the posts on this thread. Oh well, whatevs.
