new ranks

Old RAF member?

i just meant from the old RAF forum.
that's all.

[adamjared]

We used to actually have RAFAwards. That was on RAF Classic. I was trying to get them started again, but we moved forums, and i didn't have the administrative abilities to do so on this one.

[Gumby]

I like the idea of RAF awards.

[adamjared]

Lots of people did. We would have awards for Best Fan Fic (Phoenix004 won that once), Most active member, Most Poster... etc...

[goom]

No, i think Goom Meant it as a title as a sort of punishment. Let everyone know that the person is a spammer.

I know what he meant, but let's face it there are some idiots who might spam on purpose just to get the title. Also, as Rich said, we ban obsessive spammers.

oh, and yeah, we'd probably have to have some kind of restriction if somebody got that rank (like only 10 posts per day and can't change karma).

[goom]

hate to bump this, but

Have the categories been chosen yet? Or are the ones from Classic still going to be used? Cause I could see some new ones because of the new forum, like Most time online, Most Karma giver... etc.

i think 'most karma giver' award would lead to excessive applauding (which wouldn't be good). i think that karma is something you should give only in special circumstances (like for a good post etc.)

just my thoughts.

I agree with that.

Also, it would be hard to have nominees for something like that....since you can probably look it up on the Stats anyways.

[morfowt]

most time online, you can find on the stats, but most karma giver you can't.

[Nateosaurus]

most time online, you can find on the stats, but most karma giver you can't.

Actually yes you can now.

Go to your profile, click on "whos changed my karma" or "whos karma have i changed"
and at the bottom it says who is the top karma giver.
It's me, at 27 applauds.

[morfowt]

you can find it, but not on the stats page, which is what I was talking about.

Old RAF member?


How's this:

Classic RAFian: A rank for those who were here for Classic RAF, and who are still here

Veteran RAFian: A rank for those who have been active RAFians for at least three generation-waves of newbies, and thus attained a solid forum personality (in other words, if the newbies that THEY welcomed have welcomed another wave of newbs that are now welcoming OTHER newbs)

Maybe there should be another rank, for any RAFian who has been mentioned/used as a character in the RAF-based fan-fiction of another RAFian. Eh. It's late over here, and I'm speculating. Forget it. 

sounds kinda cliquey to me lol i wouldnt want to feel isolated as a newb with a seperate title, yea theres always gonna be a certain closeness between the people that have been here longer but i think that we welcome new people into it pretty well and thats important for everyone enjoying the forum

you can find it, but not on the stats page, which is what I was talking about.

haha riiiiight, nice save

just wondering.
