Hey, for a few months now there's been a lot of chatter on how to handle ranks, specifically concerning the colorless ranks. A lot of people believe there is an issue with there simply being too many ranks, so here is an idea we've bounced around a bit. Two things that some of us think would be a good idea to change
1. Combine Competition Leader, Event Staff and Article Editor into one "Forum Volunteer" rank
Reason: Because the Competition Leaders post their own threads, Event Staff are listed in each Event thread, and Article Writers could easily be required to read a list of Article Editors before creating their article, confusion would not be an issue. Ultimately, it would reduce the clutter.
2. Completely remove non-forum related colorless ranks (Site Staff, Wiki Contributor, Webmaster)
Reason: As they have nothing to do with the forum, they just create useless clutter.
I'm certain many of you disagree with some or all of these ideas, so there is a three poll option, indicating full support, partial support (please elaborate in a post), or no support.
Feel free to discuss your reasoning here.
Thanks.
