Our ranks have been what we consider confusing, but moreover misleading for quite some time. Therefore we've changed them to the following map:
Code: Select all
Rank Post Count Covered
-------------------------------------------
1) Forum Newbie 0...............24
2) Forum Commoner 25..............99
3) Forum Contributor 100............249
4) Forum Regular 250............999
5) DevNet Junkie 1000..........2499
6) DevNet Master 2500..........4999
7) DevNet Extremist 5000..........9999
8) DevNet Guru 10000........14999
9) DevNet Monkey 15000........19999
10) DevNet Royal Monkey 20000+Carry on.

Two things:
1. "Junkie" is funny but may also be insulting - especially for members with more than 1000 posts. "addicted" could be better for example.
2. I was so close to become a "Guru" and now, instead, I'll be a "Junkie"?
Ever since, I have thought the ranks had been confusing and a change was needed, but I don't think that what you changed it to is the best.

Oren, stop worrying about insulting people. It makes life easier.

Even when one of these people is you yourself?
Edit: Just remembered... I think that once you reach 500 posts you need to get a new rank

I wouldn't sweat it too much Oren. Heck, throw down another 1,500 posts and you will be a master.

They're a bit "cooler" than our original list

Who do I kill for stripping my Guru rank?
I think it adds some incentive to gain ranks - less distance between the initial ones at least. I agree there should be a 500 post rank...

We were thinking at one point about a DevNet Funktard, but we thought that Junkie expressed more personality.

Suggestion: for 500-999 the title should be "Devnet @$$clown" or perhaps "Devnet @sshat"
