Click the below spoiler for how to make an icon without any software, thought this may help

Spoiler: Click me

Find your image on Google, I recommend using transparent search to avoid ugly background boxes which can be a hassle if you use this simple method:

Click the image of choice, then choose "View original image"

Check the image is transparent, I usually just quickly drag the image on to the nav-bar and if a white border appears, it's not transparent

As you can see, this one isn't transparent:

and this one is transparent:

Next, go to www.online-image-editor.com and paste the direct link you got from "View original image" in to the upload box:

You'll find a toolbar above your image, find the "Resize" tool and resize the image so it's no bigger than 32x32.

Have "Aspect ratio" ticked to avoid stretched/blurry icons

Apply this change and then right click the image and "copy image":

Go to www.imgur.com and hold Ctrl+V to upload the icon:

This step is important, as although you can get a direct link from the editor, they expire shortly.

Kind of off-topic but I think the requirement for the post-oriented ranks should be brought up.
There's so much borderline spam because of them. 10 posts in a week is turning in to 10 posts in an hour.

Anyways,
I suggested something like this

Image isn't mine, found it on Google so another would have to be made possibly

For the Newcomer tutorial we're discussing:

So the star would be for reading the tutorial? How would that be handled though, it can't be for just viewing it because people could just view it and not read it or something. Maybe like a quiz at the end and if they get all the answers/majority correct then they get the mini rank for like a week?

However i doubt most people would want to do that if it were a "newcomer" rank as that doesnt exactly have a good connotation here.

RwmRS2 said:

Yeah the last page and a half or so of the "Newcomers" suggestion goes on to suggest a quiz at the end. I'm not sure how it'd be managed though, it's just a concept for now.

ID support this i also agree with RWMRS2 The post should be moved up to like 20-30 Post per week in a section, our sections are busy enough. We should actually have people work for the mini ranks not just give them away and the spam forum should be moved to like 40-50 post per week and that goes for other sections the smaller the section the smaller the number of post per week, but as Jack said we do need to add more mini ranks so a variety of users can have some.

I REALLLLLY like the quiz idea, give people incentives to read the rules (and newcomer guide) and familiarize themselves with the content.

However i doubt most people would want to do that if it were a "newcomer" rank as that doesnt exactly have a good connotation here.

Support for everything mentioned, but im really liking the quoted content

Im sure NANO will approve some of this if not see all of it as a benefit we shall see, it all seems like pretty good ideas I mean I know the post for 1 should be moved up a bit not 10 most def, but adding to the ranks yes sir.

Also I think there should be one for Most Whorish Users of the week IMO

I suggested the hover description be "Market Quiz Champ" or something to that effect.. so it's not totally nooby but it does look good.

Good deal, i feel we could cut down on a lot of scams (and scammers getting away with it) if people felt inclined to throughly read over that thread. I myself was scammed for an upgrade and like a total dumbass didnt take screen shots ect or practice safe trading and was unsuccessful in getting the user banned before he went on to take advantage of another.

I can say nearly without a doubt if the rank and quiz/thread in general were implemented before hand myself and the user scammed afterwards would not have fallen victim.

Another incentive to possibly help out with scams and ban evaders would be the minirank deathsnova suggested (a minirank for ban evader/scammer catcher) in this thread http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?p=11886855#post11886855 .

I proposed this rank (half jokingly) for either the ban evader/scammer catcher or backseat mod minirank.
