Proposition to add a new rank.

[Nosliw]

Respect points eh? That certainly seems like an intresting concept? Although, I am not sure about he ability to change who you give it to? Perhaps just allow you to give them once every week? And whoever has the most (or maybe top 3) get an extra prefix before their curent prefix that says something like 'Respectable'? Although that isn't a new rank, to me it sounds fun ^^

[TheReasoning]

I still feel it would turn the server into a popularity contest, and players would use their votes improperly, casting their votes for their friends rather then the people who deserve it.

after how karma turned out on the forums you think this is a good idea?

Care to elaborate? Or speak to me on skype in case it is obvious and I am not getting it.

We use to have this thing where you could like or dislike someone's post kinda like youtube videos. Karma points are the sum of the likes/dislikes. People kept spamming dislikes on those they didn't like and it became an issue when a certain person ended up having negative 80 karma.

Ive seen that on other forums, there are ways of making it work, if you'd like I can explain methods elsewhere.

[Nosliw]

With the thing I said, I didn't mention giving negative points

[chrisjones23]

No but haspet did

[Nosliw]

No but haspet did

That was why I suggested something a little different, I didn't like the idea of withdrawing it

[haspet]

So Randomly this poped into my head, another idea

every month, (or week idk) you have ONE respect point you can use on ONE person. So, you have to think about it and use it wisely. Respect points will add up, and not be reset, UNLESS... you choose possible outcome of this idea number 1.
Possible Outcomes for the rest of this idea:
1. after you get x respect points, you get respect rank for 1 month/6 months/a year and points are reset (to keep numbers low and make sure there are not 50 people with the rank)
2. after you get x respect points, you get respect rank, might make too many people have the rank if its permanant. (You could make it so if they are inactive, it goes away?)
3. two, but after your points are reset.
4. one, but after your points are reset.
5. top 5/10 people with respect points get respect rank, (to keep numbers low)

I suggest if alot of people think some of these are good ideas making a poll.

What do you think staff elections are? Popularity based on how people feel about the candidates of elections. If more people like one person over the rest, the liked person wins the election.

That's why they were changed, were they not? The most recent staff member SGT was not promoted through an election...

It varies from time to time, but yes. That does help reduce problems with popularity over players who deserve positions.

Maybe we can just do something to make goldies more respected instead?
