Server Ranks

[Kernul_Sanders]

Will ranks ever be implemented into the build server, besides the ones it already has?

[Iceglade]

During the beginnings of ORE the community decided that ranks gave a sense of maybe unprecedented superiority, so they decided against adding skill-based ranks.

[Xray_Doc]

Testificate is superior rank.

[Xeomorpher]

Basically, what ice said. They created unneeded arguments, and there is no standardised measurements of genius.

You got that right.

[Iceglade]

You got that right.

^ thus why IQ is irrelevant

[Kernul_Sanders]

I always thought of the ranks as to who has the most experience, thus it was easy to tell who to ask questions.

[Iceglade]

Yeah, but I still remember my last ever experience on RDF where I was being called a noob by multiple people for being builder. The system was flawed at best.

[Xray_Doc]

Unlessbyou are SethBling, you are a redstone noob.

[AFtExploision]

We need an aft rank for the most disturbed player

We actually experimented with a more interesting, categorical rank rank system too. We decided against them in general, they make for too much conflict. Basically, everyone preceding me has said.

I'm against all rank systems that have a clear order of "wisedom"
I'm not against categorical system, but I think some categories will be placed above others.
And I think it will be rather hard to categorize in such a way that everyone is happy.

Every system we played with had pitfalls, and the overarching issue was that "promotions" are arbitrary at best. It's very hard to determine "quality."

I think I see what you're getting at, let's just give Treesin an awesome rank, and then close this discussion - ranks just cause too much trouble, unless they are given to Treesin.

[Neogreenyew]

I vote for a Tnt417 rank...

[EDevil]

We'll see if we can implement it...

In the meantime, locked.
