Random Idea that Jumped into my head

SecondRaven · 2003-11-12, 10:03 PM

Ok we all know that a number of post gives us a US army ranking...We all are mostly liking new going to hit joint cheif and if some do hit it by spaming then that will defeat the peropus (cant spell it). One way that we could gain post points (as i will call them) PP

1. Reply on a Thread

2. Create a Thread and every 10 replys you get on your thread you gain 1 PP.

By this it will help you in a very small way but still give us some hope at reaching joint cheif without spaming.

You may ask why is there a need for this? I like my post system the way it is!

Well this system will help us in two ways

1. As stated help us acheave higher ranks

2. Promote frendly debates and chit chat in forms by acting as insentives to create threads.

Ok tell me what you think about this...please dont flame me for spelling I know I'm not the best..

Hamma can correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think that is even an option with VBullitin.

Thats retarded. Don't worry about spammers they will be banned

We can work our way up the ranks without spamming right now. I mean look at me, and ONi, and -- wait, maybe not oni.

or you could say something really dumb like I did and get labeled with it for life.

(yeah, ok. I really do like mine though)

Wouldn't mind it.

Sounds like a good incentive to make appealing topics.

Hamma · 2003-11-13, 12:21 AM

Pretty sure it cant be done.

Dharkbayne · 2003-11-13, 03:58 AM

They had something like that on some forums I went to a while back

Acaila · 2003-11-13, 08:45 AM

It could be done, but it would take a serious forum hack to accomplish it.

You are not your post count

Spider · 2003-11-13, 10:06 AM

Would have to make a script and put in the forum core folder... and then fiddle with the core program and make it read the script every time... would be more of a pain in the ass...

Not to mention the gay jokes about "PP" I can see it now... "My PP is biggar than yuors!!1111oneoneone"

Khronos · 2003-11-13, 02:50 PM

and umm whoever started the hot girls thread would be like rank #1 by now.
