Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Hey! I feel like this would be a good time to mention that I feel like we should introduce a rank similar to trusted. For example: super user. Possible perks? Of course, a super cool rank. Top priority (when it comes to applications?). A userbar (depends if this will be made or not). Getting their own section where they can talk to other people will the exact same rank. Why should we introduce this? Increase the amount of good quality posting, and an excellent alternative to awards as awards aren't a feasible idea since it's broken. People will be encouraged to post more actively, therefore increasing productivity. Increased productivity= more users are more likely to join. Possible criteria? Well, it could be anything really, up to staff. A certain amount of posts within a given time? A certain amount of reputation within a given time? Good community standing? No warning points, sets exemplary behavior? What do you think of this idea? -Adam 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would grow user activity and your idea is totally different from mine. Awards = Prizes for doing something Super User = A new group Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Report post Posted June 14, 2017 The two award systems that I've tried so far are broken/out-dated. We may look into fixing them, but if we don't then everyone will have to wait until we migrate to flaskBB. Currently there is no ETA on the migration. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a reason why you don't like xenForo? I always thought it looked nice when I used nullified versions. Haven't heard of flaskBB though, might take a look at it!

Haven't heard of flaskBB though, might take a look at it! flaskBB is very bare compared to other forum software, but it's very easy to extend and customize. The issue we have with IPB is that it's poorly documented and complex. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
