A new rank for the forums

People keep saying that the 60-second rule is bad.
I don't know if this is a good idea, but can the ST make a new rank in the forums called
'Good member', which you need at least 500 posts. Then that will only have a like 30-40 second rule? Tell me what you think.  hmm


Hai.

Re: A new rank for the forums

Anyone could get to 500 posts so everyone would be one, even people who should wait 60 seconds. I don't think it would work out.

But still, if someone wanted to get the rank it would be even worse. They would post every 60 seconds to get to 500 posts. It would be really catastrophic, I finally found a use for that word  tongue

Maybe the "Good Members" should be the curators. If the curator is chosen but they already have a higher rank (like moderator) they would keep it.

Re: A new rank for the forums

No, everyone should have the same waiting period. Giving "high rank" 20 less seconds in between is trivial. Most people don't understand the purpose of this limit, if it was gone than people would make automated scripts that could produce 100+ posts a minute and fill the forum with spam in just a little bit of time.

Once we pass like... 2500 posts we should be able to choose our own titles  big_smile

Re: A new rank for the forums

I don't think there is a strong need for any special titles. ^^ If it's just to stroke egos, I'm pretty sure the Scratch Team won't implement it.

Re: A new rank for the forums

I agree that ranks could be a good idea as It could make long-term Scratcher's more recognised. But the 60 second rule is definetly needed, with the TBG forums moved this rule shouldn't even affect you any more...

I think it's only the RPgers that complain about the 60 second rule. I hardly ever get it.

Oh, I'm so ashamed of myself. I get it every day, but at least it's not because I'm spamming.

Re: A new rank for the forums

I'm pretty sure the 60-second rule is here so the scratch server doesn't fry from receiving so many commands to put new data on the server

No! It's for spammers.

Re: A new rank for the forums

No... it's just going to be used with showing off (sort of like what Neptune said). And people could suddenly go crazy (though probably not)...
