Changes in Member Ranks - Suggestions Anyone?

Post by **Admin** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 10:23 pm

For those of you who haven't already noticed there are member ranks (relating to the number of posts you have made).

They are currently (in terms of minimum posts)

Newbie: 0 posts

Junior Member: 10 posts

Senior Member: 25 posts

ALF-aholic: 50 posts

ALF Aficionado: 100 posts

The titles Moderator, Asst. Admin, and Site Admin are all custom titles.

I am looking to change these titles to make them more into "ALF titles" - something like "Foam Dealer" instead of newbie (that's just an example). If anyone has any suggestions about possible changes to these ranks please post.

Well.....if your looking for some suggestions on the comedy side of things....how about Jaffie for a person who has a low number of posts. The next level up could be insurance salesman like when ALF thought he was Wayne Schlagel. Mucksucker could be another rank if you relate it to the episode where ALF talks about the sport of mucksucking on Melmac. Hopefully these ideas are of a help to you.

Just wondering if anyone has any further suggestions - I'd like to update the member ranks sometime in the next few weeks. Some members have already reached the top (over 100 posts) and it's time that we update this.

Thanks!

Hey, maybe we could have Brian as newbie, Lynn as Junior member, and so on... and ALF at the end.

I think someone had suggested to me something like "cat rancher" - that may also be a good one.

If anyone doesn't want to respond to this thread you can always send me a private message or e-mail with your suggestions.

Admin.

Suggestions for titles:

CatNapper - low rank
Furball - low rank
Assistant Boxleitner (ALF Biography) - low/middle rank
Hossenpeffer (Storytelling ALF tape) - low rank
ALFmeister - high rank

"Cat Lover" might also work for a low rank.

Suggestion for lowest rank - Alien Task Force

How about the Ochmoneks? Maybe something like "Racquel" could be a low rank.

Admin,

Personally, I prefer "Cat Wrangler" over "Cat Rancher".

Hey, maybe we could have "Alfacino" or "Furface" as another high rank!

Post by **Admin** » Sun May 21, 2006 3:42 pm

Perhaps "The Sentinel" would work too.

How about Rodney the cockroach for the lowest one?

How about orbit guard for the lowest one

Does anyone know what ranking system the Melmacian Orbit Guard used? Perhaps we could use that as a ranking system here.

Hey Admin, I like my ranking--"Retired Moderator".

Do you use that on the other retired mods as well?

Post by **Admin** » Wed May 31, 2006 3:04 pm

Yep, sure do.

Okay - please tell me what you think of this suggestion.

Perhaps using the Melmacian Orbit Guard ranking system. Based on the cartoons I know they use the ranks "Private" and "Colonel" which would lead me to assume that they use a ranking similar to parts of the US military.

Orbit Guard Private
Orbit Guard Private 1st Class
Orbit Guard Corporal
Orbit Guard Sergeant
Orbit Guard Staff Sergeant
Orbit Guard Warrant Officer
Orbit Guard Chief Warrant Officer
Orbit Guard 2nd Lieutenant
Orbit Guard 1st Lieutenat
Orbit Guard Captain
Orbit Guard Major
Orbit Guard Lieutenant Colonel
Orbit Guard Colonel
Orbit Guard Brigadier General
Orbit Guard Major General
Orbit Guard Lieutenant General
Orbit Guard General
Orbit Guard General of Army

We could always condense these as well (so there aren't so many - on the other hand, having many ranks would allow members to move up more quickly - in short, motivate them to be active). Anyone have any comments on this? Good idea? Bad idea? Just a thought...

I think its a great idea admin. With more rankings like those you suggest the more people will be on and then maybe somehow we can all band together to get ALF back. Overall I like it

I like the idea, really cool. All of them should be used, for inspiration to be more active among the newer members.
