Legend - 100,000 posts or higher


The list could go on and on, but hopefully you see what I'm getting at. I think it would be cool to have a rank system on the forums. As well as little emblems next to the rank. I've seen this on multiple forum sites and it's always a cool touch. Your thoughts?

The closest anyone was to legend was veggie man, and he had less than 1/5 of that in 3 years

I don't support ranks because it encourages competition

haha, tis a rough sketch of the ranks! ^~^

And as long as the competition isn't inducing arguments or fighting, why should it matter?

I also do not support ranks. I believe that this would encourage spamming just to increase ones rank. I also don't believe that the number of posts reflects how important/helpful one is on the website. While I post a fair amount (usually trying to help people in QaS), I don't think I post as much as some people post on things such as collab threads, and under the system you proposed that would make them more important than me, while I believe we are of equal importance.

Besides the New Scratcher one, I don't support Ranks on Scratch.

And yes, competition will induce arguments or fighting, and also spamming and bragging.

Ahh, equal importance. I think that's the goal of this website in general, so this suggestion is useless. Oh well. Just a thought ^~^

I support partially. I have some comments about this. Oh, and if in one of the comments I say support, it means that I agree.
Newbie: No, I can't support this. Some scratchers might discriminate the “newbies”
Scratcher: I support. However, a New Scratcher does not get promoted just because of the number of posts. A new scratcher can have over 600 posts and remain a new scratcher.
Helper: What do you mean by helper?
Moderator: Support
Scratch Team Member: Support. However, it should just be shortened to Scratch Team.
Legend: I don't support.

I seem to remember the Scratch Team had confirmed that there would be a another rank between scratcher and moderator, who are manually promoted by a Mod/ ST, for people who have consistently shown that they are helpful and have advanced knowledge of scratch.This kind of thing could be useful as New Scratchers would know who to ask/who to trust when asking questions.

Sorry, but I don't support, for reasons above ^^^
