Slayer Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I was just wondering what do those golden boxes under a rank mean? They aren't warn levels, so what are they? Sorry if I'm stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 They are "pips", showing your "rank" on the forums, based on how many posts you have. Your rank is also shown by the text just above the pips unless you change your member title. For example, you have 501 posts. Members who reach 500 posts attain the rank "Headhunter", and have 5 pips. You actually have 5 pips when you reach 450 posts (Hired Muscle) but your rank changes more often than the number of pips. You have changed your member title to "The Flow", if you hadn't done that it would show your rank name. I have 894 posts, and that is "Made Man" at 800 posts with 8 pips. When I reach 900 I'll still have 8 pips but change to the "Right-Hand Man" rank. My rank name doesn't show because I have changed my member title to "Invision Power Lord". Your rank actually makes no difference to anything else. You don't get any extra rights or privileges based on your rank, its simply a way of expressing post count. Bit useless really, but we could adapt it to allow people of a higher rank to have access to more things. For example, if we had the blogs installed, only people with a rank of "Trickster" (100 posts) or higher could create a blog. Things like that are always possible, but we don't do anything like that now. Hope that clears things up. Would you like us to list all the ranks we have?

The JD Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 It'd be great to have a list. Also could you tell me what I have to achieve in order to be able to change the Member Title such as "Shoplifter" or "Vandal" to anything that I want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Members with more than 50 posts can change their member title in Profile Settings. Its the top setting - 'Custom member title'. If you don't or can't change your member title, or leave it blank, your rank goes there instead. Please be aware that rank is separate to user group, mods and admins still have ranks. Here is the complete ranks list, along with the number of posts you need, and the number of pips you get: Zero - 0 Nobody Special - 1 Shoplifter - 15 Vandal - 30 Pickpocket - 50 (1 pip) Scam Artist - 75 Trickster - 100 Numbers Runner - 125 Hustler - 150 (2 pips) Bully - 175 Riff-Raff - 200 Outlaw - 225 Thug - 250 (3 pips) Drop Man - 275 Goon - 300 Ex-Con - 325 Felon - 350 (4 pips) Bag Man - 375 Wiseguy - 400 Wheelman - 425 Hired Muscle - 450 (5 pips) Hatchetman - 475 Headhunter - 500 Enforcer - 525 Ronin - 550 (6 pips) Fixer - 575 Hitman - 600 Associate - 625 Butcher - 650 (7 pips) Cleaner - 675 Assassin - 700 Consigliere - 750 Made Man - 800 (8 pips) Right-Hand Man - 900 Executioner - 1000 Lieutenant - 1250 Underboss - 1500 (9 pips) Capo - 1750 Boss - 2000 Don - 5000 (10 pips) Godfather - 10000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 The ranks are based on the Criminal rankings from Vice City, almost all of them are used. Here is a screenshot directly from the admin panel which is easier on the eyes than Gerard's textual representation above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
