Ranking

Ooohh New bars? I am intrigued!

And *poof* Theyre gone. LOL

[DrunkMiffy]

Oh noes. They didn't even tell us what they were for! ( I bet it was rep, but I saw no rep post option!)

[Marino]

They are back!

What are they for anyways?

[DrunkMiffy]

LBP's a fiddlin'!

[ConfusedCartman]

LBP's a fiddlin'!

My guess is he's trying to add it to the forums without it displaying just yet. There's probably a lot of tweaking to be done before it's ready.

Fair enough, I have faith

Yeah, it's here so you can get an idea of what it looks like. There's definitely going to be growing pains, but we have it for now.

Maltay is the highest ranking member on the whole board!

[Marino]

Maltay is crushing us all!

interesting a guy with 1 post and 0 threads as like 300 more points the me

Edit: the green bar is activity

[ConfusedCartman]

After lbp eats lunch, he's going to remove the rank images(our old ones) and move the avatars above the vBExperience bars. From there he is just going to see how people level up, lose levels, and how thing shift. Once he knows a bit more about how it works, he'll start setting up the shop and tweaking things to improve everything.

[Marino]

Yay, Progress!

Thanks lbp.

EDIT: How could I forget Cartman?

[DrunkMiffy]

Haha, me likey! I'm almost levelled up aswell

Nice work LBP (and Cartman!)

By the way, guys, the system isn't perfect yet, so there are going to be some wonky settings. For one, points are given for how long you've been a member, which I disagree with(that's why, Darkelite105, that one member has more points than you) and will talk to lbp about disabling. Anyway, here's the criteria that is taken into account when a user's score is calculated:

Thread Points
- Created threads
- Thread views of own threads
- Thread replies of own threads
- Thread votes of own threads
- Thread tags (vBulletin 3.7)
- Replies to own threads
- Sticky threads

Post Points
- Created posts
- Views on attachments

User Points
- Days since registration
- Referrals
- Received infractions
- Reputation / Use of reputation system
- Visitor messages on profiles (vBulletin 3.7)
- Members of own social groups (vBulletin 3.7)
- Albumpictures (vBulletin 3.7)
- Friends (vBulletin 3.7)

Now, all of these settings can be edited and/or disabled, so we completely disable points for how long you've been a member. For example, if we value thread creation higher than replies, we can give two points for every thread and one for every reply. Now, I think it would be best to keep that information a secret so users don't abuse it, so we probably won't be too specific.
