 Coloured-username Rankings Simply put, this is the post cout ranking (e.g. titles) taken to the next level. Instead of getting a silly little subtext to your username, your username itself would get its colour changed. Lets say I get to nine hundred posts - or some other arbitrary number - my name gets reversibly changed. That means it automaticaly goes to the moderate level, but upon request it can be returned to another. So, opinions ? Is it possible to make ?

Re: Coloured-username Rankings Isn't it enough that it's a fairly interesting feature ? Here, I'll add a poll and see what the general user reaction is. Just to see if it'd be popular.
Edit: Ooorrr not. Aparently I can't add polls.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings HELL NO.
This is the most useless things you can find on forums.
And on top of that it pushes some ppl to spam just that they get a new rank.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings Said it before, this is dumb as hell unless we implement a smartness system. Then it'd be kind of neat.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings What Pyro said, if we did implement some kind of "rank" system it should be based off use to the forum and not being an idiot, not post count.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings What about a user ranking thing?
You can give eachother good/bad votes (One per person on another, like I could only say Pyro is good/bad once) and then our name color would show how much the forum likes us.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings I like this. Prevents lolspam while still keeping the general idea.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings You mean like the karma system that was attempted on the Soldat forums ? For the record, it failed miserably  . But a bunch of people there were illiterate scum-bags, compared to this (relatively) tame group. 'Guess it's worth a shot.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings More like. Karma gives you positive points, and posts give you negative points. So if you post a lot and everyone hates you, you lose points. Hooray!

Re: Coloured-username Rankings No. Karma is stupid. It's just a popularity contest.

Re: Coloured-username Rankings And personally I believe any form of ranking other than moderators and normal users is elitist.
Everyone is basically equal.

Everyone is basically equal. In theory. In actuality, not so much.
