well, quite a few members are quite a ways past the last rank, so I was curious if anyone else thinks that the rank system should be upgraded to higher numbers??
I say that it should be.
It’s all very well when you’ve got three or four thousand posts to be suggesting moving the goalposts, but there are members out there I’m sure for whom gaining that next star means something, and who might just be getting close to their next only to see it disappear into the distance again. Also, there are many members who enjoy posting in the forums, but who may not be anywhere near as prolific as others, and would therefore never see their rankings increase within a reasonable timescale. Also, the are members who may have only just gained their next star. How would they feel at being “demoted” again suddenly?? Unless there is a new ranking system above the present one, I feel we just have to accept the system as it is and accept that there will one day be a day when those with 5 stars vastly outnumber all the others put together
I agree. Then number of people with more than a star or two is a very small minority. Maybe a sixth star or different colored stars after 5000 posts is in order.
It took me forever to get my third star so don’t you dare take it away! lol I agree that maybe we should add some more to the top of the list or something. Maybe Dave or Lawrence can work some more of their “captain insomnipost” creativity again.
I don’t think the checkpoints for gaining another star should be raised, but maybe there could be additional “ranks” for those prolific posters out there to work toward. Just a thought.
I guess I could put a option in there for “more ranks”
It doesn’t really matter to me, I like the stars I have! No room for more, really…different colors might be nice, though. [;)]
Plus, the numbers speak for themselves![:p]
Geez, I gotta get to work on this Bovington Tiger II…can’t be worrying about more stars! [:0]
[#ditto] Add more ranks !!
I’m not sure about adding more stars. Perhaps a few more colors, but even those will be reached at some point.
Either add more ranks/ start changing star colors every 1 or 2k or so.
I would like to see the ranks stay as they are and either add more ranks, more stars, or more colors or even all of the above in addition to what we have now.

the ranking system works fine. but i do agree with different colors. there should be a definite distinction between a member with say 3000 posts and one with 5000 posts. i would be at a loss as to what colors the stars should be or what level they would change color.
joe
I’m less than 20 from another star. NO!
More colors if anything, maybe bronze silver and gold for 5,000 10,000 and 15,000 respectively.
Don’t change the bar for those with fewer than 1k or 2k - just do something creative with the stars for the 3k, 4k, 5k members.
I can recall the anticipation of nearing the 4 stars…there’s a lot of members getting near the mark - we can’t pull the rug out from under them.
The way some guys have posted so fast means to me that the future ranks need to increase at every 10,000, with 10,000 being the next. After that 20,000, 30,000 etc. Each might get a new color.
CUSTOM RANKS!!!’
ie: MikeV the Airbrush god
1337 the 1337 guy
Saltydog the Iwata lover
list goes on and on…
Oh I definitely agree.
We won’t change the current levels.

I tend to agree with the color change.
It may just be me but, it seems that the ranking was set up roughly along military lines so you can’t really go adding more stars.
Maybe at 5,000 posts, change from red to bronze, 10,000 posts to silver, 20,000 posts to gold. After that is up to y’all!

Sounds like a good idea Dave…
