2000+ Activity & 2000+ Merit is tough enough to achieve so that’s what I’d suggest. At the very most 3000+ Merit & 3000+ Activity. Anything higher is too much imo.

3000 activity is 8 years of posting (and at least once in every single period of 14 days). I think this is already too much/unnecessary. Tongue

Imagine people having to post for a decade to get a rank. If a Newbie joins in together, he will probably only achieve it in 2030 or so.

There are some members here that beyond the required activity and merits. As we all know having 1000 merits is one of the criteria to become Legendary rank but required activity isnt specified but will become as he gain 775 to 1030 activity. As noted in the rules. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/forum-rankspositionsbadges-what-do-those-shiny-coins-under-my-name-mean-178608

But how about those beyond and over it. Seeing some members with more than 2000 merits is highly praised for their contributions. I think they deserved new rank. I'm not saying theymos must but I'm thinking if it comes to his mind to add a new rank. If he do, what could it be called? I'm thinking Mythical which is same with the Mobile Legend Final highest ranking. How about you do you agree?

There is no need to give the blessed ones more blessings and making them more superior to become higher than Legendary. Legendary Member is enough and i do not think make another rank which will be even more difficult to achieve by the new members of the forum. Most of the newbies, Jr Member and member may never be able to rank up to Legendary.

One focused on activity - Early adopter for those who have more than 3000 activity

I'd say give that Rank to anyone who signed up in the first 15 years since the creation of this forum! See what I did there?

That's over 5000 activity... it is achievable but...
if you see now we have 9, soon 10 people with activity over 3000
1    theymos DT1     3,598
2    HostFat     3,234
3    Syke DT2     3,164
4    OgNasty DT1     3,122
5    TECSHARE DT1     3,080
6    RodeoX     3,066
7    tvbcof     3,038
8    marcus_of_augustus 3,024
9    -ck DT2     3,010

10     kano 2,996

I think just the first 10 years are enough for this ranking, 15 years is too much. But this rank is just a title, it doesn't have any other effect, it would be weird if someone achieved this title and still ranks less than the hero member.

I have an idea about this new rank, there can actually be two new ranks.
One focused on activity - Early adopter for those who have more than 3000 activity
The other one can be focused on merit - Legacy rank for all those who have received more than 5000 merit.
If you achieve both ranks than there can be a thied one - History-maker.

I don't see the need for creating more levels; only to curtail what we have now.

Well said, that's also what I think upon reading the thread title. Beside that, for sure there are still lot of important matters or problems that need to be priority before this about adding new ranks just like what other said (forum spammers, trust/flay system, forum UI, the new forum software, etc.).
But still, well appreciated your idea.

If all miners were to read all the posts you and I did in my eight or nine gpu/altcoin mining threads you and I would have hundreds more merits.

You made a ton of good posts in those gpu threads that had value during 2016 and 2017 I would think they earned under 20 merits since they were prior to the merit system’s founding.

A lot of people did very well learning from those posts you made in those threads 🧵 you were very helpful to me.

Thanks Phil, and everyone else's words.

Yeah... Its not that I feel undervalued at all... god, shit can be complicated in the head sometimes.

I personally have been waiting for that new meta; but with how big the game has come its getting harder and harder to get signs on what is actually worth pursuing now.

If anything: a new rank should be something to merit the shitposting detritus of this board.... Let people know who they are talking to before seeing any "red flags".

Adding new rank after Legendary will cause to add one more rank in few months/years, as users will achieve it sooner or later, and we will start discussion once again.

I would advice to add badges or achievements. "First one to receive 5000 merit", "First one to have XXXX activity" and something like that. Only one can obtain it and it will be fair.

The only reason this discussion exists is because of the merit system and the mismatch between those who ground their way to legendary status and those who effortlessly spammed their way to it. I would like to see a rank that allows the worthwhile users to clearly out themselves as wonderful.

This is good idea. I have any good recommended for the name of next rank after Legendary .

STAR Legendary : i think this rank only for the 10 Top Legendary with the highes merit.

And eventually, other people would reach that rank where they attained to get that rank and they would start feeling cheated if they don't attain the rank too and before you know it, it would be over 10 members with that rank and the madness continues.. I think the forum ranks are perfect the way it is, the Legendary members has reached the highest rank they could possibly attain here and they know it, while the rest of us are fighting to reach there.

OP, you've still got a long way to go before you hit Legendary so I wouldn't worry too much about any potential ranks after that one.

In any case, this has been discussed lots of times before and I'm pretty sure Theymos isn't even considering changing the ranking system, though I haven't read through this entire thread yet. I've read other ones over the past couple of years and they always end with no changes or additions whatsoever.

And frankly I'd be completely fine if Legendary rank is the end of the line on the forum. Right now it's almost impossible for new members registering since the merit system was introduced to even get to Sr. Member. Very few have achieved that rank and even fewer have gotten to Hero or Legendary. Most of the Legendaries were grandfathered in (including myself) and I bet that over the next few years if nothing changes, there won't be many new additions as far as members getting to Legendary.

I would like to humbly suggest that the new post-legendary rank be called "gmaxwell".
Tongue

You make me laugh and I think this is the best joke I have heard at the end of this year. Cheesy

While the forum already has 8 ranks, among them are:

Code:

1. Brand New
2. Newbie
3. Junior Member
4. Member
5. Full Member
6. Senior Member
7. Hero Member
8. Legendary
9. What the next ???

We not hope that the bitcointalk.org user account ranking will be added by theymos again. I just dont agree when this forum has as many ranks as the rankings in the games. Theymos probably ignored this request and most of the advice, but I also dont know what he wants after the forum passed a decade.
To reach Legendary, I have to wait another 1-2 years when my merit, posts and activities are sufficient, how can I reach Legendary +++ or more ?

Maybe Theymos can consider membership types instead, such as adding DT1 & DT2 titles to user profiles so we can recognize them as we can recognize members who are founders, admin, global moderators, moderator, staff, and etc. IMO

merit is kind of a red herring though...

I made legendary before merit.... ok... sure.

look at my activity/merit/posts ratio

I feel I have provided great benefit to the forum in many ways over the years; many can attest to that.

I see people with blasts of merit who post a lot in other sections of the forum; mainly the BTC sections and the gambling sections.

Many of the projects I have done over time, ended shortly after merit began....

Basically it puts me at a losing stance comparatively; because I'm not sure if I will ever be needed for such projects in the future; and not many new questions need a response from me in the last year.
If I were to gauge it; I would feel like I have been pushed back; after working very hard to get where I am. This is why I have spent more time in Meta the past several months; I am trying to do what I can for the forum as a whole; alongside the few other places that haven't required as much of my attention.

Then again... does more rank really matter? I thought people who achieved Legendary status; actually earned it....

I don't see the need for creating more levels; only to curtail what we have now.

If theymos will demote those legendary ranks who haven't earned the required merits for their current rank then there will be a huge commotion here in forum. Lots of shitposers wearing signature will complained.

That would be fucking excellent. They've had two years to prove they're worth anything. They totally failed.

All the same ranks may as well stay but campaign managers should switch entirely to merit. If that airdropped stuff is all gone the shit legendaries won't have any use for their worthlessly obtained rank.

Ive only earned like 400 merit but I would support this,

The "problem" is that many farmed spammers reached Legendary in the past, and despite many getting banned, there are still Legendary Shitposters. Maybe that can be a new rank Tongue

I agree. Instead of thinking for a new higher rank, we still have another problem that is more necessary. Not only Legendary shitposters, we probably have Hero and Senior shitposters or even there are many others (Full member-below). Why don't we focus on this problem firstly? Mythical rank won't fix this problem, on the contrary we may have other potential problems.

not sure "the answer" exists, but the demand is not insignificant for the question. The introduction of Merit has done well over time, but it seems alot of people think it shouldn't be the last change to the ranking system
