I'm looking for some ideas on how the ranking system for the forum posts should be. Right now it goes something like:

rank 1 | fresh boarder | 5
rank 2 | junior boarder | 10
rank 3 | senior boarder | 20
rank 4 | expert boarder | 40
rank 5 | gold boarder | 50
rank 6 | platinum boarder | **

I'm all ears, something related to the site would be the best.

should go something like

10
25
50
75
100
200
400
600
900
1200
1600
2500
4000

and so on like that kinda. no pattern really, but something like that

hi,

it all depends on what you want to go for,
if you want funny, classy, meaningful ranks you should go fo less

like,
0-25 whats a Gun??
26-50 private
51-80 corpral
80-150 commando
150-300 bob
300-665 The mafia
666 l337 p4wn3r
but if you want lots of random ranks you could go up like

10
25
50
70
100
150
200
300
400
600
666 l337
667
850
1000
2500+


but it all depends on the number of members and the number of posts of admins, moderators and the general public

I'd like to stick to 6 ranks, otherwise I would have to spend alot of time hacking the files in the forum software.

I like funny.

I was thinking also something along the lines of

rank 1 | FNG | 20

rank 2 | Cheney Trainee | 50

rank 3 | Postal Worker | 100

rank 4 | Going Postal | 200

rank 5 | Don't F*#^ With Me| 300

rank 6 | King of the Hill | 500

Slice and dice as you please

yeah, funny draws people to sites, to look around.

the hardest thing is getting the rank names right as some can be seen as too cheesey some just stupid and they have to be understandable to almost everyone

I'm reviving this thread, still haven't come up with something decent for forum ranks. Can anyone think of anything?
