All the forums I used to go to, it was as follows.
50 posts: 1 star
100 posts: 2 stars
500 posts: 3 stars
1000 posts: 4 stars
5000 posts: 5 blue stars
10000 posts: Big silver star
20000 posts: Shining big silver star
30000 posts: Gold star
40000 posts: Shining gold star
50000 posts: Nuclear sign
It should be something like that here, but with this site's ranking system (Cantor, Sexton, Council Member..etc.) Which I assume would be better than the current one, y'know?
Not entirely sure but I think those green boxes are kinda like what your talking about, except (again, I think) the posts are really really high...
Still, good idea... I'd just be afraid it would give people another reason to spam to get more posts, and I'd rather have more informative posts then some jack-off going and spamming just so he can get a nuclear sign...
Last time I was on a forum I got 40K without spamming. If anything, with the moderation around here, it will only encourage useful posts, rather than useless spam. When you look at it, any kind of stimulation, be it through stars, nuclear signs, or Diablo related little pictures under your UN, people will want to post more to get higher and higher. Since we already have a ranking system, a better one would only do good, not bad.
With a bigger staff, spam would be pointless as it would be quickly removed. So far we have a decent ranking system of quest symbols as our...well rank symbol.

They change too often if you're a decent poster (posting rate decent..not content decent in this case).
They change quite often before you hit the 1000 post mark. After that, it is much harder to obtain a new rank/symbol. But if you are referring to post quality rather than post quantity, that is what the reputation option is for.

I don't many people use the reputation option. Even if they did, the poster that gets it can only see 5 ever, and doesn't get notified upon getting one. They shouldn't change with every thousand..the way I see it, it should change the way I suggested. It's just my opinion, seeing as how it has been implemented successfully in so many other boards. It wouldn't kill me if it didn't get done, though..it's just a suggestion.
We could implement a reputation symbol that is seen under the poster's avatar or profile information and expand the reputation record a bit to see all reputation. I personally think that if you quote somebody, you are recommended to give a rating of post. I dont know if that is what you were trying to get at.

Well, this forum doesn't have the activity yet to justify a 50k post rank I think. I mean, Siaynoq has been posting almost constantly since 06, and he's just now passing 10k.
Although perhaps we could include high-level ranks above and beyond 8,000 posts in the future.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Yeah, hitting 10K should get a pretty grand rank of its own. This form needs some more of messing around..that's how we got so many posts on the forums I went to. The biggest example would be the mock-feud that Blackwing and I had a couple of days ago. That alone, for like..30 minutes got 50 posts for the forum.
I was just saying how it was..I'm not saying it should be stars..just the system where you get something extra when reaching the milestones I mentioned.

Although I don't get many in return.. I always rep when I feel it's deserved.
If you sign your name they are more inclined to give. How many points do you have?

Shazami!

The wiki team has been talking of similar things though, Mephisto.

But why not incorporate the two systems?
Like keep the quest symbol one and under it have like 1 star, 2 star, nuclear sign, etc.
Anyways just an idea.
