New rank?

[PenguinFire]

I think there should also be a rank in-between full member and senior member as well as between senior member and legend.

There is no need of rank between Full Member and Senior Member and there is already a rank between Senior Member and Legendary known as Hero Member.

It should be named "Disciple of Satoshi" , and he/she should receive a medal with satoshi's (imaginary) face on it!

[R2D221]

with satoshi's (imaginary) face on it!

You mean, a face like this?

Nah, i dont think satoshi is a 13 year old guy, or not even similar looking.

I think Dorian Nakamoto's face is probably very similar to satoshi's face. He is probably in his 50's and probably a very high IQ guy, working in IT and probably has glasses and grey hair like that guy.

if a new rank is to be added the randomness of the legendary rank should be removed

[acharias]

The current highest rank here is Legendary with 775-1030 activity points to achieve. Perhaps we can have a higher rank at like 1300-1400 points? Like 'History Maker' or 'Part of Bitcoin History' etc.?
It's just a suggestion. You can take or not take it.

How about "Guardian Legend"

[Lauda]

How about instead of ranks we add some badges/achievements?
Look for instance on Kickass: https://kat.cr/achievements/

It shouldn't be hard to do and it is definitely neat. It is definitely better than adding some random ranks.

That's a very good idea.  I really hope that they can have something like that, like an awards system.  Maybe it'll come out in the new forum?

Ranks aren't random (except Legendary I guess but even that requires a minimum). What would be the point of achievements and why are ranks not just like them? Most of them on Kickass just seem silly and unnecessary as well. And what would they be given out for here?

I never said that the current ranks are random. I said that it would be better than to make new random titles and adding it. Besides soon a lot of people are going to become Hero and Legendary members.
What is the point of achievements in just about anything? Why do video games keep adding achievements? That should answer it.
The forum is quite monotonous. Kickass has hidden achievements as well which makes things more interesting.

I'm not saying that we should add something like "Left first comment.".


Update: Where did I state that the forum was a video game? You do realize that this forum doesn't have to be grim and dull, right?

[ahmedjamal1998]

Yeah i really think something new should be added/done to this forum

it's kind of being old

The forum isn't a video a game. New ranks can be added as and when needed just like Legendary was. The ranks are just a way to show the age / activity of an account.

The forum isn't a video game, but there's no reason why we can't implement gamification in it. The Stack Exchange network does something similar (with points and achievements), and I think it works fine, encouraging people to give useful answers.

When you are saying achievements, I started to think, other than the current activity count, what can we do? Then I think of post counts and time logged in. Although post counts can be boosted by making many useless posts here, the total time logged in must be real time. Maybe shall we make a new rank for those who have one of the highest values of the total time logged in?

There shouldn't be a rank based on logged in time as 'Total time logged in' can be manipulated easily. See 'Most Time Online' in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats.

You're right. Total time logged in is often manipulated via a reloader extension and similar software. The total time logged in can be boosted without getting in trouble, while you might get banned if you boost your posts too much (spam).

There are plenty things that we can do for achievements. I've already stated that other websites have these and they are a nice addition to the overall experience when one is spending time on a forum.
Here is an example on Kickass: https://kat.cr/achievements/

I would like a badge for achievements here, like Spammer Exterminator. It would be nice to have some sort of recognition to those who correctly report lots of posts violating forum rules.

There already is one. It's called Staff  .

Then, for how many posts reported to moderator that a user will become a Staff?
