Your ranking system seems perfect. Except for the "True Vision" infront of everyone.

That and we'll need more of them, unless you're going to rework the ranking altogether. It makes more sense to come up with more. I don't recall how many ranks there are, however. Needless to say, we'll need more than 5. I realize there is some disagreement on this next point, but I think we should have separate ranks (And therefore rank names) for staff. Furthermore, names that may be linked personally to the member, my Hourglass Seer (If not Seer, then perhaps Watcher or Gazer) for example.

We could still keep Nobody and One Post Wonder for those couple of ranks, but we'd still need several more ranks.
I don't even know if what Ras described is possible with Proboards, unless he simply means changing the rank names.

To add to Raistlin's list I offer this for the moderators: "Arch-Seer" and for you Reno perhaps something along the lines of "Overseer".

Staff ranking systems are possible, but would require alot more code, and this forum is already packed quite well with code. I'll consider it nonetheless.

It would be interesting, but I think Administrator, Global Moderator, and Moderator is enough.

Yeah i think that is enough as well. No need wasting more time on little things now.

In that case, use my suggestions should be used in the standard ranking system if at all.

? use my suggestions should be used ?
I tried decoding best, but you suggest that I should use your ranking systems, the changing from Moderator to "overseer".
Possibly, but newcommers could get confused.

My mistake in that last post. I meant to say that you should use my suggestions for the standard ranks and not for the Moderator-GM and Admin possistions.

Yes, I like that idea much better. I'll tell why:
In order to get seperate ranks for Staff:
You would need to use a certain code found on Probards Support. That allows you to alter the arrangment of certain members. You would then need to add the ranks and such.
Im not saying its difficult, but adding 3-10 extra pages of code is the last thing I want to do to this site. Its slow enough. Especially for dial-up.

If those are the consequences for changing the ranking system, then I agree, it should stay as it is. Besides the system for staff ranks is mostly universal from what I've seen on other forums.

Yes, it ususally is, to avoid confustion, and probably loading times.

Yeah. I've seen that code. What's the point? The site's already slower on high speed, how much slower must it be on dial-up?

A great deal slower. Considering the consequences of a new staff ranking system, and possible confusion for new members, I concur that the staff ranks should probably say the same.
