Rep and Stat based ranks

[Xiris Savour]

A lot of other forums have ranks for posting. For example, if you have 100 likes or something you would get a rank. 500 and another rank, 1000 another, etc. You could also do this with reactions.

Seems like it would be a little clunky/confusing

I don't think this would fit in with the current donation ranks, would make things too messy and complicated. Maybe they could add more trophies for reaching x reactions, rep, etc., that would be nice.

Medals could also work, but they should be really hard to get.

People can farm rep aswell, likes is harder.

Considering we already have a trophy system that rewards users for various post amounts and time spent on the forums, I see no reason to add a ranking system. Alongside this, we don't need users to confuse ranks received from posting as reputation.

Everything is easy to farm actually, likes especially.

Nope, there are a lot of spammable things you can reach to that count as likes.

You say likes is harder, but someone got 500 winners in a day only 2 weeks ago.

i was talking in like 5000 likes, that user did some shit and staff didn't even do anything about it lol.

As Violet has said, this is what our trophies system currently does. All things considered though, trophies is just a pretty irrelevant part of our site and is only here because it is functionality built-in to XF1 that doesn't require much work. When we migrate to XF2 I might consider just completely removing trophies, but we'll see.

Numbers aren't important, and encouraging people to try achieve high numbers just encourages spamming and farming.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
