King Marth 64 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) When I just came back to SF Forums today after the update was completely done, I just noticed that the entire Forum section was looked very brand new and I did just noticed that we have a new Badge System appeared in the site. I did notice that all of us have the starting rank as Newbie, but I do know that merely most of us in the site aren't exactly newbies since I did joined in around 2011. (I haven't seen anyone had posted a thread talking about it) But how does the ranking actually works like getting to the Rookie and so on? Is it like based on posting stuff on any threads we desire to do merely how much we progress on like Far of the Forest as an example, correct? (I'm not technically one of those people focused on earning badges for online stuff.) Edit: It appeared that I managed get a message saying that I just earned a "Conversation Starter" badge after I posted this thread.

What type of badges did you managed to get recently so far? I'm kind of curious to know. Edited January 18 by King Marth 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I did take a look at the list of staff to check out what their badge rank was and they had badges marked as "Newbies" which that kind of feels really confusing for the system wise if actual newcomers get confused in their first time in the site seeing the badge rank like Admins have promoting Newcomers as Admins which reality it does not work like that.

They have a little shield, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth 64 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Ok so it looks like I just went up two ranks so far and became an apprentice rank as of right now. It does looks like the Badge stuff is more on for posting on Forums. Did anyone tried out the Badge stuff actually works outside of threads like Messages, Chat, and other stuff?

But it was so long what to remembered what we still had or what was taken out years ago. Also, it looked like I managed to gain two new ranks. I did taken a look at my profile that it did said something about I'm Top 2% of all members. Does anyone think what does that implied to in Top Ranking? Is it supposed to be implying that like I'm one of the Top Ranked User of the Forums in the Ranking System or is it something else? Edit: I just noticed that I saw there is an Info Icon said that this is used by Percentage of calculated against community members by points.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'm sure it'll eventually catch up and accumulate to reach the point where most members actually are in terms of posts, topics started, etc. I dunno what kind of functionality it'll have, but honestly, it doesn't really need any. Looks like just a fun little neat thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone think what does that implied to in Top Ranking I think it's because it's factoring in the people who were banned and the hundreds of inactive accounts, in addition to the regulars who haven't logged in, yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hectorcopter Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I hate how this forum acts more like social media now. I just want to discuss things, not worry about a silly rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingKitsune Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I mean, you don't have to worry about it. It doesn't really do much other than show often you post, which doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Branniglenn Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I think my years of terrible takes speak for themselves. Do you need to see a cop's badge to know they're the worst? Of course you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
