Ranks…

I think it would be a good idea to start using a Ranking system here at the forums.
It would make things more interesting and cause people to spend more time at
the forums.

I’ve already made some ranks up just as examples.

Muggle: 0 Posts (for new members)

Squib: 30 Posts

Boggart: 100 Posts

Fairy: 175 Posts

Imp: 255 Posts

These are just examples. If the Admin does decide to use a Rank System, we’ll need around 40-60(could be less) regular ranks (all related to Harry Potter).

Around 3 Special Ranks

Dumbeldore's Army
Ministry of Magic
Deatheaters

If the Administrator does decide to use a Rank system please pm me , so we could discuss this further. I would be happy to make a dedicated Rank thread, explaining each in Rank in detail and how to obtain it. Also I wouldn’t mind creating all the ranks.

What do you guys think about this idea? Is it Good or Bad?

Please Vote on it.

Edit:

It looks like we’ll be getting a Rank system in a while. Thanks to everyone who voted. I’ll let this thread continue till the Rank system begins.

Excellent idea. This idea, as well as a few other larger ideas (houses, etc.) have been discussed by the Potter Forums staff. I think this is something, especially because of the response, that we will implement right away. Look for a ranking system to come out soon!

It should be something like....

Muggle
Squib
House Elf
Boggart

After this maybe they should be ranked as in school years
1st year (100) posts and so on. We can include prefects too...
After finishing the school years they can be assigned wizarding professions(maybe according to the houses they get sorted into)Slytherin=Deatheathers, or DADA professors etc.....

Not sure when it will start it’s up to Potter Forums really. These are all suggestions for Ranks there’s no 100% guarantee that these will become ranks, however I might be done with system by today if I’m lucky that is.

I’m trying to complete the lists before the 28th but it seems unlikely.

Wow, that is an impressive list. This project was initially put on hold for a while because we did not have enough time compile a list and create the rankings. We are definately open to community contributions to it.

Please continue the discussion here and we will work to implement a system that reflects what the community wants. Thanks for all of your help!

I really should. I should have completed the list a long time ago, but school is really limiting me, that and I’m really lazy.

I don’t agree with the password protected room though, it would make some users feel left out.
