Board Thread:Administrator's Noticeboard/@comment-24133975-20141009223409

Hello all,

I was thinking about implementing a new system that would make editing a little more rewarding.

A Rank-up system.

(Disclaimer:This "rank" is not any sort of rights, it is a small title placed near one's username on their profile page.)

To start with, this system would include a rank that would be awarded for every ~[?]00 or so Achievement Points earned.

For an example, let's say that 652Graystripe obtains 600 Achievement Points. After obtaining the points, he could then come to this thread and request the rank, or title. I would then modify the coding used for the title and give him the rank either according to his current point-count, or any rank below the rank he earned with his current point-count.

I'll probably need some help in working out the ranks if everyone is into this idea and once we have the polls below settled, so any offers of help would be appreciated!

That's the basic gist of it. I need help working out a few of the details, so this is where you come in! Just vote in the polls below or leave a comment with your opinion below.

How many points should one earn to get the next rank? 200 300

Should the names of the ranks be from vanilla Terraria, or should they come from monsters/bosses/weapons from the Terraria Fan Ideas wiki? They should be Vanilla Terraria related ranks. They should be related to the monsters/bosses/weapons we have here.

When should the final rank be awarded? 7,000 points. 5,000 points. 3,500 points.

On the topic of a final rank, I think we should have it so that the user is able to choose any name they want, for the rank. Of course there would be some boundaries, but for the most part, the user would have the freedom to choose what they want.

Here's a rough draft of what the instruction manual would look like.


 * 1) You will have to have the "5 days on the wiki", more commonly known as the "Key to the wiki" Badge. This will allow us to filter out who's a legit editor, and who's just here for a small amount of time.
 * 2) Upon achieving the amount of points need for a rank, and having the "Key to the wiki" Badge, you can leave a reply to this thread requesting which rank you want. You can only have the ranks that you've earned, of course.
 * 3) After requesting a rank, the Admin in charge of handling the ranking system will reply to your comment letting you know that your rank is now activated.
 * 4) Once you earn a new rank, or get tired of the one you have, you can come here to request a new one.

On a final note, some may say that this could instigate more cases of edit-farming, which, for the most part, may be true. In order to counter the potential rise in edit-farming, I'll likely make some changes to the rules and talk to the other Admins about making edit farming punishments harsher.

That's about all I have to say for now, so feel free to leave your opinions on the comments.
