Member Ranks

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.

    nice one biggie.. i liked the new ranking system.... its good.... but is it possible to add ranks at 150 and 250 as well???

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk Jul 16, 2006

    it is!

    Everything is possible 😁 , but do we really need it?

    If yes, what ranks shall we assign?

    @aashima-eO93l9 Jul 16, 2006

    well...

    well the reason i thot its required is because u sort of get an encouragement wen u get a better rank.... waiting to complete a 100 to improve yer designation takes long time.. thats y.. but its just a suggestion.. not a compulsion

    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!

    not a bad idea.. thats true that most of us post just for the heck of it.... it'll be better to rank on the basis of contribution but how to do dat?? do u have any way out for that???

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk Jul 16, 2006

    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 πŸ˜‰

    well

    but then i guess it can crop up a feeling of biasing and dissatisfaction... i mean we won't have a proper and justified mechanism then.. watsay biggie?

    @thebigk Jul 16, 2006

    how about?

    aashimabut then i guess it can crop up a feeling of biasing and dissatisfaction... i mean we won't have a proper and justified mechanism then.. watsay biggie?

    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 !

    aashimano probz.. take yer time... but make sure ur comfortable enuff to do that all alone!!! am there for any assistance if u require any ;-)

    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.

    @aashima-eO93l9 Jul 18, 2006

    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-5wPKU7 Jul 19, 2006

    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.

    I'm game for ranks independent of posts . What are the special ranks that are being considered?

    I suggest CEan-Spammer 😁 😁

    @thebigk Jul 22, 2006

    Good

    Good, it seems that many of us are in favor of ranks that are not post count based.

    Now, can we have suggestions regarding the Ranks? I thought of -

    CEan-Techie : For those who contribute technical stuff. More ideas are welcome.

    CE-Addicted is my favorite too πŸ˜‰ . Probably this title can be given to the one who is frequent on the forums.

    Sure,

    We need ideas on special ranks that we may have. We will have special ranks for the CEans who add value to the community. So, what rank do we assign to the CEans who regularly bring in quality content?

    New Ranking System is in place!

    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.

    Thats a pretty good step..it will help in decreasing spams I guess

  • Kaustubh Katdare

    @thebigk Aug 19, 2006

    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.
