So, everyone now has their spiffy new rank... If you have any complaints, feel free to complain here, especially if you think it unfair, etc. We're here to help.

*complains* Beginner makes it sound like I'm new to this site, when I signed up the first day. I know it's based of how much you read/comment and write, but that doesn't sound like a rank based off it.

On your mini profile it says: Joined: Sept 2006 That doesn't make you look like a beginner.

Well, Raist, if it puts you at ease, most of the site is either a beginner or reader. And besides, if you just wrote a little more and commented a little more, a promotion isn't too far-fetched. From what I remember you are a fairly decent writer... I think we may have also discussed ranks based on post-count simply for those who don't write, though I'm not sure where that idea is headed.

So basically your "new" ranks were to just reset every one back to the lowest rank. Yeah well thought out there.

No... We set everyone to where the staff figured they belonged. You'll notice Hound and Dagoth Improving, Me intermediate, etc. It is just that most members don't write or comment very much.

What I don't like though is that the ranks don't sound based off reading/writing. They all sound like it's based off length of being here.
Not only beginner, but Veteran as well.

I suppose I agree with that. We were thinking of renaming them at some point or another. You know, giving them more a writing connotation. However, we quickly disagreed on a few things, as I recall, and left it at that.

It's senseless to leave them the way they are. Writing ability and reading based of words that have to do with length of time.

Hmm, but they don't, do they. One could easily say that someone with the Improving rank is improving their writing and commenting skills. They aren't intermediate yet, but they are not rookie. Their skills are therefore improving.

I'm fine with ranks like that. and intermediate. But Beginner and Veteran just don't work.

Beginner on the path to writing and commenting well, and Veteran isn't a writing rank. Exceeding is at the top. Veteran is just the staff rank.

Staff members obviously aren't based on how long you've been here either. Still doesn't make any sense.

i mean you were made to help with the site. But that doesn't make you some kind of writing expert in any way at all.
