  I'll explain the current ranking system. If you got something better in your (crazy) mind, reply back in this thread 😁
  
  Rank - Min.# of Posts
  
  Fresher - 1
  
  Senior - 20
  
  Super Senior - 100
  
  Addict - 250
  
  Does this sound kinda boring? Suggest if you have better ideas.
  
  -The Big K -

  how about -
  
  Newbie Puppy OR Zombie - 1 😁
  
  Mad - 20
  
  Crazy - 100
  
  Super Crazy - 250

  have a suggestion....
  Dont know a cool one or not ....
  But you should give a Admin rights to a person who will cross a No. of blogs
  say 500 or 1000 you decide....
  is it not possible????
  
  
  by the way howz this one....
  
  
  20-Newbie
  100-trainee
  150-Crazy
  250- Addicted
  500 Administrator

  Time for the basics, dude 😀
  
  1. 'Administrator' is a very special status. Administrator gets access to 'Everything' except user passwords. Moreover, the 'Administrator'/'Moderator' status is not decided by the number of posts. Generally, the forum founder gets the 'admin' status.
  
  2. 'Moderator' status (again, a special status) can be assigned to a user by Administrator. Moderator is an 'Inspector' of the forums & has power to lock threads, edit other's threads, ban users, approve join requests etc. We @ crazyengineers are growing very fast and I'm sure we'll have to start looking for moderators/community leaders for the forum. 😀
  
  3. We'll wait for more inputs regarding Ranks. We sure will come up with new ranking system in our new forum. I personally liked the ranking system that you suggested. Any more thoughts 😉 ?

  Crazyboy,
  
  Well the new system has a new ranking system but its going to change. Right now, its 'Junior Member' , 'Member' . The discussion thread for Ranking system is still on.
  
  Try thinking about some unique ranking system 😀
  
  Implementing it in the new system won't take more than 15 mins.

  the new system-
  
  Well,
  
  Currently we have a ranking system which promots user from Fresher to 'Senior' when the post count goes 20+. But you see, 'Fresher' , ' Senior ' , 'Super Senior' sounds so mediocre & boring. We gotta come up with some crazy titles.
  
  Do put in your comments so that we can choose the best titles for CEans. 😉

  'The Guru' suits for members with 500+ posts.
  
  CE-Overdose ? ? ? 😔 😕 😲 😒 😁
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  how about ?
  
  Guys how about -
  
  1. CEan-Newbie ( for <20 posts)
  2. CEan-Sophomore ( for <50 posts )
  3. CEan-Regular ( for <100 posts )
  4. CEan-Senior ( for <300 posts )
  5. CEan-Addict ( for <500 posts )
  6. CEan-Expert (for <1000 posts )
  7. CEan-Guru ( for 1000+ posts )
  
  I just liked the idea of having 'CEan' in the ranking system. This will ensure that everyone is called a 'CEan'. Our ranking system will be unique too 😁.
  
  Please do let me know your comments about above system. Suggest changes/modifications !
  
  -The Big K-
  
  #Addendum: The mods (we will need them soon 😀 ) will have a special status and they will get to choose their own rank which will remain unchanged irrespective of the number of posts.

  5. CEan-Addict ( for <500 posts )
  6. CEan-Expert (for <1000 posts ) 😀
  7. CEan-Guru ( for 1000+ posts )
  
  looks good to me. integratdbrains may suggest her ideas! at least we are arriving at something 😉
• 

  integratdbrains

  still not prepared
  
  guys i m of the opnion that ranks should act as an incentive to increase the number of posts.and also i think the intervals needs to be expanded u can expect alot of posts pouring in,in the coming days.i m also of the opinion that the fresher tag needs to be removed.i mean it makes one consious..i have come up with a single name thats CEan team member/creator for the fresher..(<100)
  2.jr. developer(<500)
  3.sr.developer(<1000)
  😒 however bigk did not like it...
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  well
  
  No question of my liking 😁 I just think that 'developer' may not be the most appropriate word. For we are not only-computer science forum.
  
  However, the CE Team Member is a good idea. I'm still of the opinion that we need to fit in 'CEan' somewhere in each rank because that will tell us about our religion - CEan 😛
  
  Say what?
  
  -The Big K-
• 

  integratdbrains

  i just forgot to type it.. CEan jr. developer developer does not necessarily indicate computer science! It can be regarded as one who takes efforts and assists in developing the 'cause' be it anything.thats what i think! 😒
• 

  crook

  Good !
  
  I also think that CEan should be present in the member rank. But how about CEan - Overdoese 😁 ? ?
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  ;-)
  
  CE - Overdose 😁
  
  Let us stick to the format CEan- _ _ _
  
  I guess following ranks are confirmed & approved 😉
  
  CEan - Guru
  CEan - Expert
  
  any ideas about other ranks?
  
  -The Big K-

  we can have CEan-prodigy if everyone feels like...and as in now we will be having different font colors...am i rite??

  That's amazing! Neha, think of other ranks too. People what say?

  Thanx!!!
  
  well i got an other...wat abt CE-cadet for new memebers??
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  good going!
  
  For the new members, we have decided that the rank will be CE-Team Member. However, CE-Cadet sounds great. We want the whole list of post count & related ranks.
  
  Moreover, there will be special ranks for the team members who add value to the forum. We need to device a unique ranking system for the CEans.
  
  Make sure that the rank contains 'CEan' in it. So the ranks will be of following format :
  
  CEan- _ _ _
  
  Suggest ranks & the min. number of posts on the forums to achieve that rank.
  
  -The Big K-
• 

  Neha

  well i guess CEan-Team Member can take upto 5-10 posts...wat are ur views??
•

  up to 5-10 posts are ok for rank as a CE-Team Member
  
  integratdbrains suggestion was good too. someone please post the complete ranking system 😡 . I'm fed up with the 'Senior member' tag 😡

• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Okay, its decision time and we can't push it on -
  
  Members with >= 1 posts will be called -
  
  CE-Team Member
  
  Now, let us brainstorm for rank after one achieves 5 posts. Let us keep the format as:
  
  CEan-_ _ _ _
  
  -The Big K-

  According to me CEan-cadet for the one above 5posts

  Quality matters more than quantity. We also should take into consideration the quality of posts made by a member to upgrade or downgrade the rating. Admin and few moderators can possibly make the choice. May be a voting mechanism might work. Just a thought, might be useful.

  I agree. We will have special ranks for the members who add value to the forums.
  
  Apart from the special ranks, we need to come up with a ranking system that is based on number of posts. Of course, spam will be deleted and we'd not encourage CEans to spam just go get a higher rank.
  
  Probably, we need lot of cleanup in the chillax section.

  That's true, but it also encourages to post just for the sake of posting! Ranks, I think is the surest way of generating spam.
  
  On a recent thought, how about completely removing the post count based -ranking system and only having special ranks depending upon the contribution to the forum?
  
  I think this will encourage CEans to bring quality content and not just the quantity!

• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  note
  
  We can have Ranks like
  
  CEan-Techie ( for those who add technical posts )
  CEan-Geek ( who is into geeky stuff )
  CEan-Value Adder ( 😁 ) - For those who bring in overall quality
  ..
  
  ... and like that. We will have to think about it. Moreover, the ranks will have to be assigned manually. There won't be any automated system to do that for us. So its going to be quite some effort 😉

  I agree.
  
  Well, things won't be in place at start. How about having 2-3 regular CEans to decide what rank to give to a particular memeber? We can always decide that in conferences.
  
  No doubt this is a challenge for us, not a problem !

  Why did you say that? the 'by default' list begins with your name 😁
  
  I did think over removing the post count based ranking system and it makes perfect sense. I hope many CEans will agree with me.
  
  Instead, I guess, having a contribution based ranking system will be great. But as aashima pointed, it will be difficult to manage. I see following advantages -
  

  • The new ranking system will not encourage the new CEans to post just to get a higher rank on the forum.
  • Hopefully, it will bring quality content on the forum.
  • Why do we need people with 'Higher'/'Lower' ranks?

  Let me know what you feel.

  me ready for the new ranking system... the best advantage of the same is it'll improve the quality value of the forums.... something that is most important.... and thats true..."why actually do we need the ranks??"
  it wud be great if implemented in right and correct form....
• 

  Jerry

  makes sense
  
  Hello, I have been away for a while.
  
  I agree that we need not have member ranks based on number of posts. Instead, everyone should have a common rank 'CE-Team Member'.
  
  Of course special ranks are welcome. We do not need ranks. The only way this community can grow is by having better content and caring members. I am glad to see that we already have members who are active and taking the forum to a new height.

  Hello CEans!
  
  The new ranking system is in place. Now, we will have two post count based ranks -
  
  New CE-Team Member ( For > 1 posts )
  CE- Regular Team Member ( for >50 posts )
  
  Further,
  
  Special ranks will be assigned to the CEans who add value to the forums. Special ranks are manually assigned and are not based on the post count.

  Hello CEans!
  
  
  Special ranks will be assigned to the CEans who add value to the forums. Special ranks are manually assigned and are not based on the post count.

  Reducing spam is not the aim. Rather getting quality content is our first priority. We don't have a way to reduce spam 😁
  
  The CEans who bring quality content will be awarded special ranks.
