Legitimacy Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hello Runelocus Mods/Admins I have decided to put in a suggestion today. I think a programmer rank should be added into Runelocus so that people with a good programming knowledge should have the ability to be praised. Programmers would be voted every fortnight by either staff or people who think they are worthy of the rank. Kind regards, Legitimacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arix Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hello, Currently there is a Programmer award available. I believe this is equivalent of what you suggest. An example of it can be found in my awards, as I have the Programmer award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that it is an award but I was thinking of turning it into a rank. You see where you have a mod crown, there would be a cup of coffee to symbolise Java and a pip to symbolise it. I think that this would be a little bit reputable as currently I feel as if not many people view awards. I'd love to hear more of your feedback. It would just help people with sales as they could see "Oh this person is a programmer for Rune-locus, lets hire him" Kind regards, Legitimacy!

Arix Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I'm not really supporting that idea but it's up to the bosses I personally believe that it's good that the awards are visible but not overly present (as opposed to a rank). If I want to know what you are good at, I could look at your awards either on your profile or on any of your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I thought this used to be a thing? Maybe not. I'm not in any place to say no. It doesn't effect me, but if it makes others happy then I'm for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemu Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I wouldn't support the idea unless there is sub-ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the actual rank (well in the context I'm talking about it). It would be like: Jr Coordinator Programmer Dragon for you. However if you still object to the idea, I'd love to know why and what your opinion of this feature is.

I don't really see the difference between having a user bar that says programmer in the same place as the award that says programmer as well. That being said, it would be more obvious but I don't think it's possible to do without a rank. Besides that, I think it might create a minority group amongst members and I don't think that's a good thing. Then again, there are already other ranks available like contributor etc that kind of do the same. I still don't support the idea though. I think the awards system does just fine and has great flexibility. It's also easier to give an award as opposed to having to create a new rank for such a thing.

I do however think that the awards should be placed above the users name rather than below it. This would make the awards a priority to individuals who want to see what users actually have rather than the last thing they see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
