Member Rank
How To Tell.........
Tuesday, January 22, 2013 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This thread is written to the powers that be, here on WC..
I noticed today that someone had posted something about a member here, but they had gotten the rank wrong. In trying to help with this, I noticed that there is really no way to be sure of what a member's rank is, for those who don't have sites. It's not on our profile pages.
So, in effect, there's really not much recognition for ranks less than Journeyman. What would be the point?
I'm certain this has been brought up before.
We have info under the avatars. Why not put the rank there too? Or on our profiles? Or on the dropdown you get when clicking on a member's name above the avatar?
Lotsa places to put it. Every member has a profile page. Seems this would be the best place.
Support avatars say support under the avatar. Mods too.
How hard would it be to get ranks shown?
We are a skinning community. Customizers abound. We PAY a fee/subscription. Why is it that WC looks so drab, yet GalCiv2, Elemental, Sins, all the gaming sites have a nice theme. We get blue/white/drab.
So, is it so much to ask to get some info on rank somehow connected to one's membership?
EDIT: I'd much rather know a member's rank rather than their join date. (Especially since mine's so inaccurate.... 
)

HG, my reply 50 was an attempt to get back on track, but alas, these threads do tend to have a way of derailing.

I'd venture a guess that it was thought that if and when there might be glitches with said badges, and the titles got mixed up (like the gender thing on profiles) then a lynch mob would storm WC and wreak havoc in the forums.

Yeah...guess I'm not getting your point as to why that information would be "needed"...not sure what difference it would make. No one has ever inquired what my rank is.

Possible solution. All those above Master keep the ones they have. Color should reflect status, imo, red and gold for Master, silver and gold for Journeymen. Gold and Bronze, Master Apprentice. Bronze for Apprentice. Citizen gets Bronze with a silver chevron centered. Visitors get a wood token with whatsis name, the green lizard, Wickey? His face on it. Just a suggestion. I'm gonna whip up a sample.

That may be because you are one of the few members still active that has a personnal page WG. Lots of information there.

Hey Po, been wondering about you, hope all is well.

When I did your skinner spotlight, I got it from your site, But new members don't have sites.
You don't care about your rank, but others do care about YOUR rank.

I like the idea of displaying someones rank...I'd much rather have that instead of the member number.
Fred & Po...Nice to see you two around...hope all's well.

Yes at one time it had been discussed to have some sort of badges with a members rank below the members avatar. It was sort of implemented with the Stardock/Support/Moderator/Admin badges you see currently under the Staffs avatars..As for why it did not make the full run.. I'm not privy to that info....
