Ranking System.

[Sacred Tsahaylu]

Of course there is no intention to create a hierarchy. Since coming to ToS, I have not concentrated one bit on the ranking system. I have just posted as much as I have felt comfortable doing because I already know that people do not see the post count or ranking system as any indicator of status on this forum.
In fact, it could be viewed as a positive drive for users to post. You may want to shed the rank of Skyperson, and you do that by posting. Thus by posting you become more a part of the ToS family. Thus contributing and keeping it alive
Those two paragraphs may seem hypocritical but there is a subtle but notable difference.

I also have to say that aswell as being a supermoderator, I am a donator and only got my custom title after I had donated.

Yeah but it can push posters to a point where they're just spamming threads to up their rank.

I only post if I think Im contributing (except forum games or random threads, pure BS posts from me there)

Im gonna use Palulukan_Taronyu as an example (with no offence intended). He became a super-poster to a point of spamming AF just to get his Toruk Makto status. Sure he had contributed mostly to the forums but it was still spamming.

People should be posting because they have something to say, not because they have to get rid of a crappy status as soon as possible.

Oh BTW...Yay Seeker! lol
