Perhaps another level for the forums...
New Scratcher
Scratcher
Trusted Scratcher
Community Moderator
Scratch Team

The bonuses of being a Trusted Scratcher would be:
A 30 second rule
Being able to delete others' posts in their topics

Anything else?

webgal15 · 2011-01-14 15:29:57

Trusted Scratcher seems a little biased . . . maybe Old Scratcher, Experienced Scratcher, etc?

Well, what would the criteria be? Would the moderators and/or scratch team have to decide? I could just imagine all of the "WHY AM I NOT A TRUSTED SCRATCHER!?!?!" posts that would turn up 0_o I think the system we have works... Along with the fact that being able to delete others posts may lead to mini-modding *rereads* oh in the threads they create.... hm may work but people could get offended and whatnot if someone deletes their post.

No...

60 seconds is already little enough - consider the time it takes to find something new to post and type the message.

Being able to delete others' posts... that is way too risky and should stay with the moderators and Scratch Team. It could also be used to cheat on polls and such.

The new ranking would start flames... you know, things like "HA HA I'M A TRUSTED SCRATCHER AND YOU'RE NOT"...

Sorry to sound so negative ^_^

lol a lot of people wouldn't care about their rank

but that could go either way

kingofdallamas · 2011-01-14 19:15:38

I think "trusted scratcher" shouldn't be added as a new rank. It's the same as being a "experienced Scratcher", like the time experience, etc. tongue

kimmy123 · 2011-01-14 19:55:27

No tongue

soupoftomato · 2011-01-14 22:42:52

Many "older" scratchers are oft banned and rude. hmm

Chrischb · 2011-01-14 23:34:44

It seems rather unnecessary... if someone is trusted that much, they probably would be a mod already tongue

scimonster · 2011-01-15 13:41:26

its just a suggestion. i don't actually expect it, just something i was thinking a little about.

@Chricshb: but there aren't enough mod spots for everyone who is good to have a position.

kayybee · 2011-01-15 23:31:33

elaborate. would there be elections?
...
and include all the details you missed...

And if you don't expect it, why did you post it?

That's just a matter of opinion... I think the opposite tongue

yes, it is opinion, but the people younger than 14 can't be mod, so maybe they could be trusted scratcher.

Another thing: be able to edit and delete their posts in closed topics.
And about bragging, they would be trusted not to brag. That would just remove their status as trusted.

Lol tongue

I still feel like this would just make users quarrel over who got to be 'trusted' and who didn't... hmm

fullmoon · 2011-02-24 19:52:11

I have to agree that this would cause bickering and hard feelings. I think a user's registration date, post count, projects, and behavior speak for themselves pretty well.

The_Dancing_Donut · 2011-02-25 14:40:02

What if you were a Trusted Scratcher and suddenly started trolling and spamming? What does that say for the community if a 'Trusted' Scratcher is spamming up the forums?

Harakou · 2011-02-25 16:48:32

I really don't see any benefit this would have, not to mention the bickering it would likely cause. There have been many suggestions for rankings in the forums, all rejected for that reason. Just look at the post count wars. Those were just numbers, and people competed pretty fiercely.
