Is it just me, or are the ranks a bit inconsistent? Like, some people with 5 stars have "Redwall Recorder" while others have "Abbey Gardener". I know it's not a big deal, but...wow, I'm curious.

You don't always get a new star with a new rank (we thought having one star per rank would get gaudy).

[Rusvul]

Are the new ranks based solely on post count, or do they vary depending on where you post the most?

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Everything is based off of post-count, though you can't get counted posts from the Cellars, the Front Lawns, or Forum Games.

[Rusvul]

   I know that it worked that way before, but seeing as how there are now more ranks and more than one rank per star, it seemed possible that they had something to do with where you had posted.

*Is hyperventilating* I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE NEW RANKS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MODS!!!

(Seriously, I'm really excited.)

(Oh, and by sorting the members list by post count, I think I've figured out some of the ranks.)

[Eulaliaaa!]

What are the new rank names? I know a few, but what are all of them?

Having gone over the awards topic again (was trying to figure out what the blue pawprint meant) I have noticed something that I would classify as a mistake: "If you paste and award in your signature and you did not win it, there will be strict consequences." Before I read this line, I had no desire to paste an award into my signature, but my morbid curiosity is attempting to make me do so. So I must ask, what would these strict consequences be? If you do not wish to reveal it publicly, could I be PMed?

L'appel du vide is a horrible thing to feel.....

Always living on the edge...

It isn't really about having a specific 36x36 pixel (or whatever size it is) image in their sig, it's about disrespecting the staff, the members who put in the work to earn those awards, the challenges, and the rules -- in short, the entire culture of the forum.

That said, most rule violations result in a warning. If the warning didn't take, we would probably edit the image out of their signature. If they insisted on bringing it back, despite warnings, I'd suspect there would be a temporary gag in that user's future (in addition to re-editing the image out). Anything after that, I'll leave to your imagination.

I think your right Leatho. Very good job! 

[Jukka the Sling]

I figured it out first...

Oh, and there's two more unknown ranks above Redwall Recorder.

[CaptainRocktree]

How do you get Dev? I have not seen a Dev before. What do they Develop?

[The Skarzs]

The site. Cryptopur is one of them.

[Jukka the Sling]

I don't think they develop the site. Cryptopur is the only Developer, and he's with the Redwall video game.
