      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

What do you mean?

Instead of just posting to raise your post count, try to add something to the conversation that's meaningful.

I'm pretty sure he's saying post counts encourage worthless posts because some people just want to inflate theirs so they can sit there admiring it...and we should reward well written posts instead of not-well written ones.

Yes, but if someone posts witty comments just to raise his like count and thereby his "level", that doesn't mean that it's a quality post. There is no good way to deal with it.

I guess so, well tfc forums will just have to stay with the basic ranking system...

You know you are pretty much suggesting things that make forums weirder, and more circlejerkish, like escapist, somethingawful, and facepunch.

jesus christ okay no

This forum doesn't really need ridiculous rankings. I mean, you're really giving off the vibe that you're children who judge each other based on post count and that's a seriously bad habit to start. No need for more stupid bullshit ranks, okay?

This thread is kind of outdated (Two weeks old with no answers..), but since it got ressurected somehow, I will give my opinion: No.

Any kind of rank, even just that counter we already have here, is kind of bad. That just says to the community how active we are, but that doesn't mean that all that content the member posted is positive, or useful. Adding more ranks could be fun? Yes. But will make some members just flood away to get a high rank. I'm not just saying that from my mind, is a reality.

Now, the "Like" button is kind of nice, you actually show that some post have good content, or that you agree with that person. But this system can get out of control too, the same way the rankings do. If people just care about those numbers, the forum will start to be like a YouTube: People will make posts and/or threads, and start to say "Hey, like my post!" and that's just not right. :(

Forums need to be as simple as possible. Why IRC made, and still make this huge sucess over billion of instant chatting, for example? Or course it was the first kind of chat online, but still, is alive. And hell... it IS ALIVE, because people like the way it works.

Here is a place of discussion and sharing ideas and thoughts, and to have fun as well, by on your correct time and place.

-snip-

Couldn't agree more, I don't like forum ranks because they encourage people to post needless comments to "rank up". They also encourage elitism in the form of "You only joined x time ago, my opinion matters more than yours". If you must implement a ranking system, at least make it a meritocracy. Anyone can spew useless rubbish to up post counts, but if the "ranks" are assessed based on likes or something similar, it would better represent the quality of that users posts.

(That said, I wouldn't want to implement that either because then it turn into a bloody popularity contest -.-)
