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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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 a bad idea, but I'm sure many people wouldn't like it - probably that rank would apply to those who have never earned a single merit, but we have Hero/Legendary members who have 25, 50 or even 100 earned merits, which does not help them avoid the category of shitpostings members.

Merit system implemented to impose a guideline to improve quality posts. So if there will be a next rank after Legendary it will be decided by theymos whether the idea hasn't approved by many, I'm sure this has come to his mind already and probably reading this thread if its a good move or not. Can't say, but hope he response here too.

I think creating a new rank is very low on the priority list right now, and that something like that might happen when we get a new forum. Certainly there are individuals who may deserve some new rank that would further emphasize their contribution to the forum, but this does not necessarily require a new rank.

A possible solution is to create special badges, as it has recently been the case in the art competition and even before that we can see some memebers have special badges.

It might be simpler to change coin color under username for say every 500 merits earned, but of course with an emphasis on earning merits (airdrops merits excluded). This could show the difference between those who only have airdroped merits, and those who earned them.

I remember every moments I reached new ranks or new records of merits, LoyceV. Sweet memory, especially when I turned to be a Hero member. BTW, there is a fact that people only care (in my opinion and I could be wrong) about their coming ranks before they can reach it. I believe every Legendary members here don't care about their rank (if there is no risk of rank demotion, LOL) but it is a lie if they say "Oh, man, years ago, I felt very normal when my account turned to Legendary".

You're Legendary already, and (understandably) some people prefer to Merit lower ranks. Your Merit earnings per post aren't very low, but not high either. You've posted a lot on the Altcoin boards, and because those boards have so much spam, even good posts don't get read much, and if posts don't get read, they won't receive any Merit. Adding the fact that you don't create many posts in total, you end up where you are now. But your posts aren't bad, so I did some "Merit source things" on them. I don't want to spend the rest of my day reading all your posts, so feel free to post links to some of your own good posts in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

If you're not loaded with sMerit, I would suggest though to spread them to more different posts. You've sent three quarters of your sMerit with 10 at a time.

If ever theymos would add another rank then I think allot of things need to adjust as well. So far, the bounty and campaign payments will be more higher, and there seems to be no more appropriate rank name above legendary. Maybe a tag would do depending on what particular specialization these high ranking members do.

Such as for ddmrddmr and loyceV, they focus deeper on the concerns of the members regarding their rank, merits, and stats. Others are more on publishing contents and arts. And some are legit born to be bounty hunters.

I thought about OP's idea for a long time... And I embrace it somehow, meaning that I think it would be nice to have a Legendary / Legend rank for the true legendary users from here, such as Satoshi, Hal, Laszlo, or GameKyuubi.

These guys became parts of Bitcoin history!

Of course, there are others as well but they are the first who came in my mind.

And this proposal would mean either to offer only to them the Legendary rank (and have a different name for the highest "regular" rank - the one after Hero) or to create a special rank for them (such as Legend).

It would be nice to have a distinction for those who wrote history, especially for those who are not active anymore or passed away.

For what, ranking must be as high as the sky, if only to make spamer and fraud in the Bitcointalk Forum, enough for the current rank of "Legendary".

Now there are 9 rankings each member has gone through, ranging from Brand New to Legendary, plus the Copper Member position that must be purchased.

If you think it really needs to be done, just give those who have the rank of Legendary something that can benefit those who have more Merit value and who contribute well in this Forum, Whatever it is, the important thing is useful.

With or without new rank, they are all recognized here. I don't see convincing reasons to have new rank if the new one does not give users who have it any kinda benefits.

If there is a new rank, with a requirement at above 2000 total merits (1000 airdropped + 1000 self-earned merits; or 2000+ self-earned merits - depends on old-era or new-era Legendary members), how many users will get it for now, or even next one year? Not many as I see.

After all this time I think it's unfortunate the average newbie won't be able to tell the immediate difference between a self made posting genius and some mouth breathing fuckstick who posted 'nice project' once a day for 2-3 years.

I'm surprised to see this topic today. I just ask to myself, is this a gift for a new year celebration from BTT forum? But I hope no. Cheesy

Anyway, I agree with hugeblack. Why we need another rank? It seems no problem with the rank system so far. Having more rank isn't likely to bring something valuable to forum. I think it is better to focus on how to improve the number of active members and their quality.

Don't offend but I don't like them. They look like membership of Ponzi scheme.

Chop Legend or Chopper, why not?
Those users who satisfy requirements for the new rank, above Legendary member rank, is somewhat outstanding, somewhat above-all.

I think it's not necessary anymore as everyone can be a contributor in the forum, regardless of the rank.
In this forum, there are people who ask and their are people who contribute through their answer, and that's just what we really need.

TBH IMO, some members are just ranking up for them to participate in a signature and to get a good rate, after they rank up, that's it, they stop contributing because they got their ultimate goal already. We just want to see members sharing like a free community that rank does not create a big difference to everyone. my 2 cents.

I’ve been stuck here for over 10 minutes, glued to the screen, trying to make my mind up on this one. I’m not really much in favour of another rank level (I personally liked Sr. Member, but those name above seem a notch pompous for my taste) , but I certainly do see that it fits, and gives a certain additional lateral objective to many here to ponder.

So far, in my opinion the forum does not require a new ranking after Legendary. Maybe the award will be more suitable for those who have reached the Legendary rank. The badge might also be quite good as a form of appreciation given by the forum for the Legendary profile which managed to get a minimum of 1000 merit with customized activities and posts.
Excample:
Legendary I with 1000 merit, 775-1030 activity and 1030 post
Legendary II with 2000 merit, 1550-2060 activity and 2060 post

This is only a suggestion, but it is very annoying when I want to reach the badge 3rd Legendary with 3000 merit. Cheesy

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

KING : like a Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley who is the King of Pop and King of Rock

MASTER : have Member and Sr Member, why we don't have Master.

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

I can't find my post on this subject, so I'll just repeat what I (think I) said before:
-I vote for the name Legend. It's simple, and makes Legendary look a bit like "Legend-ish", while Legend sounds like "the real thing".
-It should probably require at least 2000 Activity and 2000 Merit. BPIP is down, so I can't easily find all users who would qualify, but I expect it to be only a handful.
-I don't expect a new rank to be added as long as only theymos himself and a handful of other users qualify.

Quote from: YOSHIE on December 25, 2019, 03:35:03 AM

If I were to say this proposal, maybe not a ranking that should be added.
But "AWARDS" may be suitable for members above the Legendary rank, Merits that exceed specified.
Example:

See:

Quote from: theymos on December 17, 2019, 05:17:38 PM

Adding UI elements is very "expensive" in the sense that it's something to which every member constantly has to devote some brainspace. So I can't see adding any kind of split merit score or other UI element, since that'd be a permanent high cost as a result of a one-time thing in the past.

I agree with the idea.
We have some users with more than 3000 merits.
Those members who have 1000 airdropped merits and have stuck in 1000 shouldn't have a same rank as those who have earned more than 3000 merits.
I also agree with YOSHIE's idea.
A kind of badge can be used for recognition of users who have more than 2000 merits.

"AWARDS"

i like this idea a lot more than adding a new rank. in my opinion, the point of the ranking system is to give more privileges to older members and limit things for newer and throw away accounts. since there aren't any more privileges remaining to give, there is not much point in adding a new rank apart from aesthetics. and for that, having some awards like "most merited in x days", "have m topics receiving top merits",...

I think the position of legendary, plump at the end, may not need a rank above legendari again, this is the same as the general position when in military office.

But "AWARDS" may be suitable for members above the Legendary rank, Merits that exceed specified.

Of course, the picture above should not be controlled, it's up to the Admin to determine the award image, this is just my opinion.

Those in signature campaigns perhaps. A new/higher rank could alter the payment rates in all or most campaigns. Legendary members who received little/zero merit/s might complain to the changes because they will find it hard to rank up and will no longer enjoy the highest rates/stakes.

Yes, it is one of the examples. Bounty managers may consider a small change in the payment rates. Mythical replaces Legendary for the highest rates. In addition, the payment gap between mythical and legendary rank may be quite big. So, legendary feel a bit uncomfortable because they get a smaller allocation then (I guess).

If we add Mythical, I am worried that it will cause noise and jealousy. Finally, it will lead to another drama among high-rank members.

From what I can tell most high ranking members enjoy seeing others achieve these feats. I can't think of anyone [who doesn't already] who would cause drama or be jealous of others achieving this.

I don’t know why we need a new rank? Is it because once the Merut system is created, we need to add the rank? I mean, there are members who have more than 2,000 activity. Why haven't their ranks been added since that time?
What are the benefits of adding more ranks?

Well, Theymos could allow for specialized ranks. Different activity in different areas of the forum. Have this activity decrease slowly, so that each profile could only choose a few sections to become mythical (or whatever the name is) in.

But I agree just adding a new rank would be useless.

That would be a great privilege but of course theymos would probably thinking not cause no more would donate if this can be achieved by merits. But thinking of it, this will be probably a high steep merit such as 3000 or more cause if you would compare the privilege to those Donators whose giving huge btc.

I don't see that being a deterrent, the Donator level is 10 BTC and the VIP is 50 BTC. The VIP rank is the one that can have a custom title - just checked. I would be amazed if the forum ever receives another 50 BTC donation, or if anyone who could reasonably part with that amount cared if a solid contributor to the forum earned that privilege.

Either way was just a musing as I was responding to the topic. Would be cool but not something needed.

I ever saw this rank on another forum. Looks cool but I think it is no need to add on bitcointalk forum. We have already had Merit system, newbie to legendary level has been fit on it. If we add Mythical, I am worried that it will cause noise and jealousy. Finally, it will lead to another drama among high-rank members. However, everything will depend on how theymos considers the need.

What would be cool is the option to give yourself a custom rank title for some large amount of merit earned. I think that's currently something Donators or VIP's can do. Can't recall maybe only staff can play with that.

Ethereal? Or since this is a forum is primarily created for bitcoins, then, Bitireal, or maybe Satoshi?
There would be lots of options for names and which activity and merit level would trigger the new rank.
How about a new coin be added to the users profile summary (beside posts) for every 1000 extra merit earned, or a large platinum, or silver coin to replace all the others, so it doesn't cluster. This would be a subtle indicator of the total merits earned.

It would be cool, so us Legendary people would have a new sort of "goal" to achieve, but I'm afraid to say it's very unnecessary. Because of the new merit system, the Legendary rank became hard enough for most to reach. Not to mention that trust points are probably more important than rank anyway, when talking about reputation.

There was some talk of it when the new system first rolled out. I think it was more to set apart old school time based Legendary accounts apart from New rules Merit based Legendary accounts. I'm guessing the idea fizzled as it's a low priority implementation for the forum. I have no idea how hard something like this is to implement, but I also don't see it as necessary. Really the merit score speaks for itself.

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?
