Rare miniranks to promote thread creation

Not sure if it works lol. There has been a string of vaders that will post on 5-10 07 goldselling threads saying they're interested in like 100m 07, then post on 5-10 rs3 goldselling threads saying they're interested in like 200m rs3. Then they post and do their thing in other sections.

I suppose, but that is in a very specific group of people: those that want to gain post count quickly. They're not generally a part of the same group that would post meaningful threads for the sake of a minirank. Plus, if the minirank system were only in place for thread creation, we'd be in a good spot considering that spam threads are excessively easier to moderate and spot than spam posts.

Support from me.
Good idea but I agree with around 1/2000; otherwise everybody will have miniranks and they won't be very rare.

i love miniranks how do i get one.

 

[Add My Msn]

Sure, I like the idea.

If this is something that can be done without excessive strain on the person implementing it, then it seems a great idea. I would say that a 5% chance of rarer miniranks might dilute the market, hence why a lower percentile may be more applicable in this circumstance. I'd say along the lines of 2.5%

Hey bud, check out this link here: http://www.sythe.org/sand-box/1655740-guide-miniranks.html for a guide on how to obtain miniranks!

Looks promising now that we've got some admins attention. Hopefully it passes through.

I like the idea, barring misgivings I have about it encouraging spam in non-spam forums. I will ask Richard.

It's been a long time and nothing's been done yet, despite how simple this would be to implement

So instead of a 07 pet its like a rare minirank pet lol.


I guess I dont really mind.

I'll support.

 

[fragan77]

That's a good idea. I'm always looking for new posts anyways and in order to have new posts, you'll need a thread.

Interesting idea, but I think people will just make up BS threads to try to win a minirank, resulting in a looooot of spam.

That's been discussed elsewhere in the thread dude, it wouldn't be a real problem

Going to bump this up for more recognition. Still awaiting Sythe's reply

 

[Ronaldo7]

bumping for admins to see

I like the idea, but the numbers would need to be tinkered around with. If it gets too out of hand with people spamming, then remove it. What do you think about posts in certain sections? This way there's incentive to post and not just create threads.

I agree. 10% seems way too high, maybe 2 or 3% would seem like a better percentage. I think posts should be given the opportunity to receive a mini-rank as well, however at a lower percentage as users are more likely to spam post than to spam thread create.

Also, reason why I'm bumping this thread is because an admin already sort of approved the idea, and was going to ask Richard. Not sure if that ever pushed through though, maybe he forgot.

No support for this. This will cause people to spam or create useless posts in hope of a minirank...

 

[Pain]

I disagree with sept I enjoy miniranks even if they devaule the ones I own.


I support.

 

[Maker]

I support.

Was discussed in previous pages. It's not like the current spam is not being taken care of. We have many moderators and a bunch of people reporting threads/posts, therefore this shouldn't really be a problem.

And if it ever does become a problem, the feature can be removed.
