Ranks
I like 'space squid', but the army-rank stuff seems a bit bland to me. Gotta have more space-references in there!
By the way, a rank system really does lead to rampant posting, I'm obviously posting this just to get more posts to my name.
On a relatively quiet forum like this rampant posting need not be a bad thing though.

I confess that my personal preference is to do away with ranks entirely and reserve titles for FO contributors.
Simply because we will hit a point where we get huge and the signal/noise ratio on these boards will be really atrocious.
that said, I can't say as I care much, it's just more deleting to do.

Surprise and Terror! I am greeted by the smooth and hostile face of our old enemy, the Hootmans! No... the Huge-glands, no, I remember, the Hunams!
I agree with Aquitaine on this one, because as long as our post count it right there, it is more of a reminder. It also makes the people who actually do work stand out less, which isn't a good idea, because those people will tend to have more authority over the other posters.
Well, on another note, and I don't want to sound greedy either. But what is the req for getting a graphics team title thing? I know I haven't handed any real work in....
Anyways, it is just a question.

It is rather bad idea to advice that posting related titles should not be here and one the other hand you asked for a special title (be sure you want to know the req, because you want the title)That Guy wrote:I agree with Aquitaine on this one, because as long as our post count it right there, it is more of a reminder.

The authority thing is quiet not a good argument against title.
Postingtitle dont symbolize authoritiy, but only the numbers of post you have posted. It is just a gimmick.
Therefore I dont care if we have them or not, but it is typically for forums
I don't understand the logic behind that being a bad idea suggesting that, because I just wanted to know. I also noticed that other then miu, no one else that has been posting artwork has one either, it just made me curious.
But I am against the posting related titles because, well, it does make the workers blend in alot more, and does promote spamming, and if and when the board does get big, that will be a problem, and if you yank them then, it might cause a roit amoungst the new people.

Miu's been recovering from illness. I've told him to take it easy for now while we wait for 0.1 to be released. He'll be back around sometime soon
As for ranks, I think they're a fun gimmicky thing. If people start to post for the sake of posting, then we'll take 'em down.
Edit: Special titles will continue to be given for team members.
