SitePoint Ranks

Hey, I realize this isn’t a major issue, and I don’t see it causing any hassle or confusion in the future however, I was just re-reading over the forum rules and guidelines documents / pages and noticed that for the SitePoint “Ranks” a member who has over 1,000 posts will have the rank of “SitePoint Wizard” and 6 orange pips yet the same goes for a member who has over 10,000 posts (but 7 orange pips).

I was just thinking, for the sake of differentiation, maybe you could come up with a different rank for the last one and change it? I was thinking of “SitePoint Master”.

It doesn’t affect me, I’m nowhere near 10,000 posts and I don’t anticipate I’ll reach such a number. I don’t find it to be such a big deal either. Nobody has had any problems with it previously and I don’t either. But I was justing reading over the guidelines and seen that they were the same and figured, heh, maybe I should suggest they make a different ranking name for the last one. No biggy :slight_smile:

For 10,000 posts you get Sitepoint Wizard :slight_smile:

Oh I see what you are saying…most have new user titles other then teh default anyway (at least, those above 10k) so I don’t think it’d be of much use :))

Though for the record, I’d like a new default rank title :smiley:

I understand what you’re saying. But for as long as SitePoint forums have existed there are ATM only 15 members with more than 10K posts http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/memberlist.php?do=getall&page=1&ltr=&pp=100&order=desc&postslower=0&postsupper=0&sort=posts&ausername=&homepage=&icq=&aim=&yahoo=&msn=&joindateafter=&joindatebefore=&lastpostafter=&lastpostbefore=&page=1
And as you can have a “custom title” after 200 posts I don’t think it matters much http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=custom+title&match=all&titlesonly=0
In fact of those 15, only one - AutisticCuckoo - uses the title SitePoint Wizard.

Of course there are a few members approaching 10K but I’ll leave that for you to discover how many use SitePoint Wizard.

I’ve got a suggestion for a new user title from 10,000 posts and up:

Get a life!

got one already, but thanks anyway

I meant one outside SitePoint, Rudy. :slight_smile:

so did i :smiley:

There’s a life outside SP, Doh! :stuck_out_tongue:

Heh, I’ll repeat my first paragraph with some emphasise. :slight_smile:

I realize this and I know you can have a custom member title after 200 points. However, as I said in my original post, whether it is of use or not, I think for the sake of differentiation it could be changed. As I also said, I’m not all that bothered by it or anything really. I just thought maybe they could replace one word with another word and there wouldn’t be much fuss about it.

As I said, I don’t believe anybody is bothered, hassled or confused by it. I don’t think many people notice or are bothered about user titles, the same goes for myself. I’m not bothered how many have over 10,000 or will do in the future. I’m just saying for the sake of differentiation, just replace the word Wizard with something else?

I’m not entirely bothered about it. If you don’t want to change it then I don’t really care. I just thought for the sake of differentiation, seeing as having over 1,000 posts and having over 10,000 is a big difference, that it may be a good idea. That’s all.

Unless this is a laughable suggestion, it would seem that way! :eek: :nono: Lol. Bleh.

Yes there’s this place called Webmaster World and Google has several places in something called Google Groups for their stuff and there’s places for each of the browsers like Mozillazine for Firefox and Opera Community Forums for Opera. There’s such a wide life outside of SP.
:lol:

I don’t have one yet, but at this rate I will by next year, thanks for considering me for such a prestigious potential social reward. :slight_smile: :lol:

Hey I have a life…it’s just right now I’m snowed in with 30 inches of snow (about) :slight_smile:

That’s a shame!

It’s so hot here that I’m about to go for a swim. :stuck_out_tongue:
