Yes, there is.
Every certain number of levels you rank up, so to speak.
However, I'm not gonna tell you how often that happens, or how many there are! Best get posting, eh?

Is In Your Base, Killing Your Mans
Whoo, this is awesome. I've been wanting something like this for a while now.
One problem I can see with it though is that some people might meaninglessly post or chain post in order to get their rank up. Perhaps posts won't increase your rank very much?
It'd be really awesome if you can implement some sort of system where the community can rank a person on their personality, so that when meeting a new person, you can know what to expect, or that newbies will know who will help them and who might not be so accommodating.
It would also be really cool if you managed to make the rating system based on how much help you are in the community. Dunno how that'd work, but eh, it's an idea....05.26.08 3:57 am-

Lol... Well so long as I pump out quality reviews eh? I'm not going to review something I played 2 years ago in an attempt to make more reviews or something. At this point only those 4 games I've reviewed were fresh in my mind, and I'll just make it a habit it review games after I've completely beaten them now... Helps the community and me all at once!

I have absolutely no idea... possibly stuff like font formatting, and higher levels hey blog CSS? I dunno, I don't tend to think about what perks would be desirable when a new system is created.
But the thing is, what would be useful on a gaming community? I would suggest mini web apps on userpages but that would just be weird... and could end up making the userpages look bad etc.
You could probably offer some of the already present subscription features to people with very high ranks, but I really have no idea.
Oh, and being able to change the layout of your userpage would be a fun thing to play with

I can't speak for everyone, but for myself and Spot, it's making us more active than before, if only because of the fun little insignia we get :B
Not sure if it's all that noticable how active I am now as oppose to pre-rank system, but hey :B---

Have you guys considered inflation?
Like.. do comments on myself count towards my count?
Like.. I create a blog and comment 50 times in a row "." just to get credit.

!! This surprised me for a few seconds... I saw the "last 30 active" and found that the first person's name who came up had a symbol next to it. I was like "ha, that's pretty cool, they stuck some random symbol in their name." Then I discovered I had a similar symbol, "WUTTHACRAP?! Why is that in my name??!!? ... oh. hhaah update!!"
excellent job guys!---

Third paragraph: "Each rank gets more and more difficult as you climb the later to fame."
I was going to ask how in the world you're getting by without me...but clearly you're not!

More or less here is how it works: For almost every piece of content you post (e.g. comment / screenshot / blog / etc), you earn a certain amount of Achievement Points.
As you gain more and more Achievement Points, you will begin to gain levels. Your levels impact several things, most which we will talk about at a later date, but the one primary thing is they promote your rank. Each rank gets more and more difficult as you climb the later to fame. Your rank will affect several things as well, all of which we will discuss another time.
Again I will point out that this is Phase 1, meaning more to follow. We simply wanted to get the base structure in place and in use, so now we can start on the more advanced features of the system.
If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to leave them here, or note us directly.
Also, would like to deeply thank ʊchalkley3 for a very rushed and quality polish up on the rank insignia. Thanks man.
Everyone please let us know what you think of the Achievement stuff.
Thanks a lot!
I, Gamer!
