When I first started the forum, I put anything in the ranks. The ranks are defined on how many times you post something. Thus the higher the more "experienced" you are for newbies coming into the board.

I'm needing suggestings on different ranks. right now I have stuff like "food forager, guides by starts, starts fires without matches" etc.

Any thoughts?

LOL on the first one! But I think some might freak about that! I've popped up the other too. Thanks man!

Are these new rank names going to be implemented? I was just curious because it's been a while since this post and I was wondering if there would be more diversity in the ranking system. Also, I'm not sure if you would be able to do this, but maybe you could have medals awarded for certain things, such as having a thread you start get a 5 star rating, earning a certain amount of likes, so there could be a medal for 5, 10, 20...etc. Being quoted by someone...etc. These are just suggestions, these medals would just be symbols beneath a person's avatar so people could see their accomplishments in the forums, this way it isn't a linear "how many times you post" sort of a thing, it has more depth and appeal to it.

il take the bamf designation for 500 dollars ,alex. lol

Yeah, this was implemented at one time and was a blast to read and gain ranks. I'll talk with the others on their opinions.

 

[preppermama]

I love this idea. It's always fun to watch people gain ranks in the forum.

 

[shotlady]

survival, just who are the "others"? i hope they arent dems. i dont wanna spend good time being a post whore and have to share my designation with some who never speaks up. lol

Absolutely none of my business but i'd think long and hard before introducing awards systems here, because although they might sound good on paper they can rip clubs apart by causing friction and division among members. I speak from experience as an ex admin/mod myself.
At the moment Preppers Forum is great just as it is, and new members are joining in a steady trickle, so if it ain't broke don't fix it..

 

[WVTactics]

I love this idea. I wish I didn't have a mental block at the moment and I could think of some cool ones

Maybe if Survival tells us what sort of things he's planning we can comment specifically on each one and discuss its ups and downsides..
