My Suggestion of KYAwesome still stands.

0 - An Unknown
5 - Doing It Right
10 - Pretty Good
25 - Quite Good
50 - Good
75 - Very Good
100 - Fantastic
250 - Supreme Being
400 - Apprentice God
500 - God
600 - Superior God
700 - *Customize your own name?*


Well... The above may be a little child-like, but I like them

Your rank should be a percentage based on your rep divided by your total number of posts. If I have posted 100 times and someone thanked me 50 times, then my contributions are just as valuable as someone who has posted 2000 times and thanked 1000 times. Having a rank like that also discourages "me too" posts and helps improve the quality of the posts all around.

Personally I dislike the "rep" system all together and think the old "someone thanked you" was much better. And being able to vote "down" should be disabled IMO.

A vote down is good - if someone posts something abusive / unhelpfull, then the community can show that it's not wanted without the user being warned by a mod or banned.

My suggestion for the rep titles:
-100: Terrible
-10: Poor
0- Neutral
10- Pretty Good
50- Good
100- Very Good
500- Excellent
750- Add the bronze medal under the title
1000- pbl (in honor of the first DIC to get 1000 rep points)

@matthew180: I liked the old thanks system as well, but the new rep system makes it a lot more transparent as members cannot hide behind anonymously downvoting out of spite, and as Jack Eagles1 says, it serves as a deterrent for rude and trolling posts. This has been thoroughly discussed, but in my experiences, if you aren't deserving of a down-vote, others will negate it, and it all evens out.

I do disagree with you though about the posts:rep ratio for rank, as it belittles the contributions of some of our more active members like pbl, who has more posts, so maybe a lower ratio, but is overall way more helpful than a first or second time poster with a helpful response.

Heck you could even put 2000 since im expecting a few members to reach that in atleast a year. What would 2000 be? hmm Ultimate Genious!

And if somebody posts 1 post and gets 4 "reps" for it, then that user will probably be at the top for the entire month. Does that mean that member is equal or better than somebody like KYA who received 88 up votes in June?

The Top DIC Heads should show the most helpful members, and somebody with 1 post for the entire month is not more helpful than somebody that posts 200 times a month and gets 90 up votes.

Prediction: No one will ever get to -100 rep. If you've gotten to -10, your presence here is most likely under serious review by the staff.

Military ranks (private to general) is about 10 levels.
Martial arts have a similar number of ranks.

How about an A-Z? 26 levels.
Starting at 10, each successive level is *1.5.
Even the most popular would be a while getting to the end of the list


10 Apprentice
15 Beginner
23 Champ
34 Dreamer
51 Excellent / Elite
76 Fabulous
114 Genius / Geek
171 Honourable
256 Inimitable / Illustrious
384 Jock (seriously?)
577 K
865 L
1,297 Magician
1,946 N
2,919 Outstanding
4,379 Paragon
6,568 Q
9,853 R
14,779 Superlative
22,168 Terrific
33,253 Ultimate
49,879 Virtuoso
74,818 Wizard
112,227 X
168,341 Y
252,512 Z

On a serious note, I was also thinking of something akin to martial art ranks, albeit something a little more interesting then a color name.

Actually, I think Theaegd has a -107 rank.

But that was from the lounge. Lol so does that really even count?

I like some of these ideas!
