New Rank Badges

[Chief]

I'm experimenting with the ranking system, which is a separate system to the Usergroups system.

At the moment

= Gold BFSC membership.

= Platinum BFSC Membership.

= 4 years on BigFooty and minimum of 500 posts.

I will be experimenting with the sizes and colours - users are welcome to submit their own ideas for use.

Why 4 years and 500 posts.

Wouldnt at least 5 years and a lot lot more posts than 500 be appropriate as a veteran?

Was mentioned on the other thread Chief, perhaps the bar(s) moved down in between "other teams & Join date?

 

[Chief]

No, not really.

The veteran age period is not really up for change - the badges are.

I'd also like to use these badges for sponsorships and so on, but a lot smaller.

Let me try something else with the ones we have...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but its 4000 posts for veteran not 500.

I'm on 2000andsomething and don't have a veteran badge.

I also agree with the suggestion of trying them further down the box.

EDIT: Forget what I said.. I just got it. 500 posts AND 4 years not OR.

 

[Chief]

4 years of membership PLUS 500 posts.

 

[krisholio14]

4 years of membership PLUS 500 posts.

Perhaps it should be 4 years OR 4000 posts.

I consider myself a veteran even though i'm six months short at this point (I was using another name for the first 12 months I was on this site). I have well over the 500 posts. Hell I have well over the 4000 posts

 

[Chief]

We won't be changing the "Veteran" time/post count requirements.

I've shortened the rank images, but they should now appear side by side instead of stacked. Might have to run the usergroup recalc again.

 

[Virgil]

I think the big 'veteran' one looked better than just 'vet.'

 

[Biggie]

I liked Platinum over Pt tbh.

 

[blues4flag]

Much better now than before.

 

[EBUS]

Much better now than before.

I disagree, i liked the other ones better

 

[blues4flag]

Found it too obtrusive before - particularly posters with two badges under their name.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Perhaps it should be 4 years OR 4000 posts.

Yeah I think it should be similar to those requirements, but either way doesn't really worry me.

Well it shouldn't, you have none.


What is the actual purpose for it?

 

[BWST]

Can i ask what is the difference between gold and platinum ?

No outside Ads with Plat.

 

[Chief]

When we brought Platinum in, we boosted all existing BFSC members to Platinum.

At the end of their year's membership they have the option of renewing as Platinum or Gold. Platinum is the same as Gold, but you see no external banner ads.

The software won't do that - unless I hack it and I don't want to break anything

Fair enough then Chief.

Settled on the current sizing then?

 

[Chief]

I think so.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Pt should be Plat. IMO.

 

[Biggie]

Pt should be Plat. IMO.

I was going to say that, but not fussed either way tbh.

 

[Marklar_33]

3 months to make the veterans list

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Well it shouldn't, you have none.

And I said I have a badge? Everyone has the right to voice their opinion...

May want to read your posts twice before posting.
