Confused Ranking system on SFM?What is it?

Always wondered what are the intricacies of the ranking system on this board...ie what are the ranks?what are the requirements of achieving them?

I suggest this should be a part of the faq even though i might be the first person asking this q

The ranking system here is a joke. Don't read anything into it at all.

The only important one really, is the SFM Nugget. After this, the field becomes available for modification or for special phrases, or for moderators to have a laugh by changing the words without the user realising it...er,

No question is a stupid question if you don't know the answer - If you need help (and you can find us), ask the (Sens)A-Team.

There isn't. All i can figure is that all the ranks have "SFM" in them somewhere, but i dont remember the rest of em.

er, no, really! You shouldn't read anything into them whatsoever. As soon as anyone gets the ability to change their rank-text, they usually do so. They also chnge according to whether you are a donator or not, so there really is very little chance of seeing the actual fixed ranks.

Don't read anything into the rank system whatsoever.

By posting more. However, no one cares about the rank. It's the quality and helpfulness of your posts when giving feedback that counts

Edit: From scanning the forum, the ranks are nugget, guru and obsessed, though there may be some others. You will see other graphics tags below people's names if they have done something useful. I will soon have Sensei and a winner medal under mine, the same as Sphynx, as we have both won contests on the site. Donors (people who contribute cash to the site) get a tag too, as do mods and admins.

I saw initiate in there somewhere as the next step after nugget.

WHat rank do you need to be to change the rank text i think is the question. AS far as i know, it's 1000 posts.

Why is it so important that you change your rank/name whatever?

If it really is important then make a donation to SFM, then you can have a custom title.

Oh, and by posting more, we mean in current threads, not ones from the first crusade
