Personally I just want to know what the Hero Member Rank is.
I think i'd be pretty cool to list all the other ranks and what they mean aswell in one thread.
Those ranks are based on the amount of posts you have. 500 posts -> hero member.
Ranks like beta, mapmod, global moderator and beta3 can only be given by administrators (and moderators?)

Usually just admins, or people desginated by admins to hold better-than-mod access. I'm not sure about SMF, but in the case of PHPBB3, administering groups like that requires access to forum admin, and a lot of other kinds of access come with it, including a lot of ways you might accidentally break the forum.
Hero is reserved for people who are sexy.
Well that's a pretty provocotive way to put it. :-*
I'm not complaining at all though, but it may suck for other people in the MapMod and testing communities who may never get to have that title on account of having those title replace the ranks.

Titles are supposed to be more prestigious, not less. :)
That's what I meant, Lurkily. I put in perspective for people who may find the nomal ranks more prestigious than MapMod and Beta. I personally don't find the normal ranks more prestigious than the others.

It just means those members are more sexier [sic] than hero members.
Again, you are making a point all too similar to mine.
You were saying that I was sexy?
Wouldn't MapMod be higher than member? Considering the fact that they monitor the maps. I would think that the ranks would be more like 1st=newbie 2nd=junior member 3rd=sr.Member 4th=MapMod/Hero Member 5th=beta/beta3 Blue5th=Grauniad/autopost shiny5th=Administrator Those ranks would make a little more sense considering the fact that the only other rank a MapMod could get would be beta. Please correct me if i am wrong in wondering.
I never really even pay attention to those little stars.... so mapmod was defaulted to 3 stars.
So... have a star on me :) MapMod's now show 4 stars.
Yay thank you!
These boards can use custom ranks right? I think I have some ideas....
Edit: I just attached what would look like ranks for KnuckleCracker forum! They are currently 12x12, since I used that widthxheight example from the current stars for Newbies and up...but I can adjust them to 15x15 or 20x20. Which ever is preferred.
As you can see, the rest are pretty regular, then MapMod is Red (though Autopost looks more red), Beta/Beta3 is Blue, Grauniad is Silver, Autpost is more Rainbow, and Administration is Gold. Though Gold is kinda hard to see here :P. I could make Autopost Green, and Administration Rainbow....
Wow. And what about Chani? She is an Über-mod.
Frankly, I think all those that matter know that stars are not "it." It's not about stars or ranks - outside the military.
I didn't know there was someone else o.o *scratches head*
And what? Just going with what there is, that I know of, that is used on the board. As for military ranks, bah, not my kind of expertise.
Agreed there. Concern over stars is usually a concern about status, or the status people perceive. But by the time you put some serious insignia on your lapels, anybody who matters has already started making up their mind about you by the content of your post, not the number of stars you wear.
Ahh, that's what Grauniad meant. Was confused there a bit, but I see and I understand. I know some people who post a lot but act in a way that just makes people believe they didn't quite earn that 'status' they got there, despite the # of posts they did to obtain it. *shrugs*
Anyways, someone let me know if those creeper work out, and I can think of something for Chani, then umm...well who ever I have to email the files to, just PM me.
Yeah, exactly - I always tend to chuckle to myself when people make an effort to boost their post count - real status is shared between peers within the community, and comes from selflessness, not selfishness.
I know for a fact my tendency to talk(post) too much can be counterproductive, in some cases.
sometimes less is more <3
i do think the emitter-star thing matches the forums though.....
Emitters stars look cool. Kind of random but can Blaze Black please make CW2 customtiles with those pictures in them please?
