The current user ranks are
New Member: 0 posts Junior Member: 50 posts Full Member: 100 posts Senior Member: 250 posts God: 500 posts
I feel like we should get ranks that more reasonably reflect this community. We also have the ability to adjust the color of the stars and create as many ranks and hypothetically as many stars as we want. This includes going through 5 ranks of the basic star and then switching to 5 ranks of, say, a red star.
Any thoughts on the matter?

Helpful to know the number of posts for each level - although some of the more competitive among us may quickly post lots of stuff to get to a higher level. I was going for quality, but... Actually, it's my taxes that are holding me back! MUST stop avoiding.

One other thing different from User Ranks - is it possible to add the boxes to go to next page at bottom as well as having them at the top? When I get to the bottom, would like to just click to next page rather than scroll up to top to do it.

Does it not for you?

How about ranks that relate to bugs in a Hive?
Swamp Larva Swamp Hatchling Swamp Worker Bee Swamp Drone etc.
...but maybe include some play on words relating to news or the politics. I'm sure someone more creative than I could come up with something better.

That's why I mentioned the idea of multiple tiers being available - if we've got a few easy ones to get and then extend the high end out, it gives us a lot more objectives to hit and looking at our current membership (amongst those who've made posts), the median is 19 posts while the top poster has 151

So thinking about the double round idea, I was thinking about the hive mind concept and realized that we can start with the colony idea as before and then move into how "attuned" you are with the hive mind. It also works insofar as we can start with Swamp X for the first tier and Hive Y for the second tier
Thus: Swamp: Larva, Hatchling, Drone, Worker, Scout
Hive: Attuned, Listener, Whisperer, Speaker, Merged
Needs work, I know, but this would extend our post counts
0 50 100 250 500
1000 2500 5000 10000 25000
Thoughts?

Alright, I've made the change. I set the hive ranks to Black stars and I changed the wording on 5 star to "Hive Voice"

I am approaching hatchling status with great anxiety and would like to remain Forever Larva Millennial. Refuse to grow up.
