[Denied] Remove programming fun ranks or commit to them

[S]

Fun ranks were largely a reward for staff members, which is fair. However, I'm not opposed to more merit based fun ranks, i.e., programmer, graphics artist, etc, being given out to community members deserving. With that said, the overall non-community fun ranks should remain rare and hard to obtain, otherwise they lose all their value and attraction.

I'd be ok with this

I think a more fair compromise would be amalgamating the ranks into one generic "Programmer" rank that would be given out to users that have made significant programming/development contributions to the site.

I know this has been done with the Graphics Artist rank, though it was not its original purpose.

This^. Good idea

Always thought it'd be fun to have funrank related to programming since that's what I'm interested in and have contributed to here on Sythe. Support

I do enjoy this old tomato... ultimate tomb... ultimatum
They are "fun" ranks anyway, why are we stressing over "fun" pixels?

The ranks are awarded at staff discretion we still hand them out. The irrelevance of some of the ranks IMO adds to their charm. We don't remove funranks (what's an OMM) and it's not in the spirit of a funrank to have strict guidelines for it to be distributed
