Blondie hit 30,000 in July of '08, and no one is close to approaching 40,000 except for her (no matter what her post count is), and she's no longer a regular poster. The next highest posters are at 36,657 and 35,288, and neither of them are spamming to increase their post counts. We'll play it one level at a time. I've already got two other icons mapped out for above 40,000 if we decide to use them. "Driven" and the 40,000 icon were both made in June of '08.

Don't know if I'd want to make more if we can't keep that theme up.

It was awful when it was first released, and it has aged badly. I can't think of any scene from that one that would make a good icon, unless we call it "Crazy Nutso Spammer."

1 of the 7 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 I say keep the next level at the original post count of 45,000. We have a few people who'll be there in a few years. Heck, even I'll be there in 7-8 more years at the rate I'm going!
USB Connector Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I'm just going guess, but I think the new icon would be from the Far Cry video. The title would make sense too: "Far Cry from a Natural Poster" And who knows, maybe CA will give rise to new videos. By the way, from which video did you get the rocket icon from?

Good,bad,andrush Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I think three more icons would be cool. At 40,000 and 50,000 and 100,000. The Cygnus, the clockwork Angel, and the dude who is losing it.

We had the next one set at 45,000 when Blondie and Testy got to 30,000 back in 2008, and we're still waiting for someone to reach it. It's what made us drop it to 40,000 -- we just want someone to actually GET to the next level! We'll take it one level at a time, depending on how people are posting. I think having all those high levels set in advance would promote even more spamming than we're already seeing. We like to see some balance in the way people post (like we're seeing now), and not just spamming to get to the next level.

As it stands only 20 or so people have the highest rank, making it higher would encourage people to obtain it in order to be one of the first. The logical course there is spamming. However, nothing is stopping you from putting one rank in the middle of two existing ranks and shifting the numbers a bit.

However, nothing is stopping you from putting one rank in the middle of two existing ranks and shifting the numbers a bit. Give me an example. Let's say you create a new icon, it doesn't look as awesome as "God of Balance", but you think it would look like a good title to come right before it. So you make Solar federalist go from 2112-2749, Professor from 2750-3749, the new title from 3750-5000 and keep god of balance from 5000-7499. So bam, you have a new title slotted somewhere in the middle, you keep the cap for the highest level to keep people from spamming and you have a more gradual transition period to the higher levels. My experience is limited but if you continued so that the adjustments would make it a little more evenly all the way up to "Driven", then people would be less inclined to spam because of the smaller intervals. I am aware of the flipside that if you add too many then the point of having ranks would be almost meaningless, but I don't think adding one or two would make much difference.
