As you know, we've been experimenting with a category-based rank system for the past few days. On the old server, we had sweeping ranks which generalized too much, and this caused friction. The idea behind the categories was that no promotion was too large, that people are not expected to have all-round knowledge, and that people would feel less frustrated when trying to be recognized for their works. The bar ranks lay unimplemented, but we're wondering what you think. I've posted some options up above, feel free to post here if you have any comments or recommendations for other approaches.
