Idea to make SPAMing more fun

give them titles, lets say Bill(Bucks evil twin brother) makes 50 post in the BG forum he would receve a title as a Gibertling at 70 he would become a kobold then a goblin and so on.

diffrent bords would have diffrent titles.

Heh, I always wondered why this had not been implemented yet.

@Overkill: I believe the reason this was never done was because it would cause a lot of competition between members, and the boards would be pretty much nothing but spam.

I've seen that happen to UBB's with userranks before... the way this board does them is fine. I mean, getting over 10,000 posts in one year just for a rank... >_< One word posts dominate at board like that.

Ah, right... Good point. I wouldn't like that.

Some of that depends on the age group of the posters, but it definitely can be a problem. Though there is some competition in post count, the lack of "levelling up ranks" makes it more of a friendly competing among fellow spammers than a 'gotta post a bunch so I can get that next rank.'
