Implemented New Member Rank Ladder

[Muiredach]

I'm still fully setting up the forums and part of that is the automated ranks given to members based on their post count. In the future we may limit some newer accounts permissions until more established on the forum - for example disallowing messaging other members until the account is older than a week, or has 10+ posts or whatever else.

The fun part of all this is deciding on a rank ladder and what the titles should be, so far we just have the following as a placeholder:

• New Member - default
• Member - 5+ posts
• Senior Member - 25+ posts

We probably should build the system so the top rank requires at least 1,000+ posts, and probably have 5+ ranks overall.

Feel free to chime in with suggestions.

Quick bump for members, please feel free to chime in with suggestions.

Something generic for ranks. Cos only things that come to mind would be cheesy and/or risk being seen to glorify things the media would scream about with great illiteracy. Esp cos bud in the name makes me think of growing.

Great phrasing.

You're right, I'm thinking about something innocuous which just spells out how long they've been a member and their contributions.

As an actual artist, that hand bro fuck me.


Also, maybe fun to reference stages of plant development?
Seed - seedling - vegging out - flowering

But I’m a plant nerd so……

Absolutely love the suggestion, fits right in with the forum.

Far as I'm concerned, let's build the rank ladder based on the plant growth cycle

Nice. Thankyou, that’s put a smile on my face

Well this was not what expected when I checked back on this thread, but I'm glad I came all this way

These aren't the exact right titles for the ranks, but a list to get us started to improve upon:

• Fresh Seed
• Germinated
• Sprout
• Seedling
• Vegetating
• (light hour changes)
• Budding
• Flowering
• Seeding

Thanks again @BlackSheepVegan

I also like the idea of a little icon next to each stage, so there's another visual indicator of going up a scale - but that is a fair bit of work.

Works perfectly, especially seeding - giving back to the community based on experience. I'm going to tell my wife, she'll love this

Vegetating

More likely with high THC

You've missed healing out of the cycle . Doesn't really fit but is appropriate so to speak.

Can we stay away from gendered terms, and weird Anglo-centric bro nonsense?
