sakiqc Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I have read few times in the last days people asking what the stars were there for. The answer is simple: they mean nothing! Your ideas are welcomed! Also, we could improve our User rank system. HW is getting bigger and our previous ranking system might need a fix, or maybe, we can add more ranks after our current ones. This is our current system: <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"> <!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">HWL Office</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">-1 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Midget AAA</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">1 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">CHL</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">50 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">GRETZKY !!!!!</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">99 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow--><!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">AHL</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">100 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">NHL</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">250 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><!--Begin Template: faq_misc_rankrow --><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Hall of Fame</td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="./images/xpsilver/star.gif" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">1000 </td></tr><!-- End Template: faq_misc_rankrow --></table> It makes no sense to go from NHL to Hall of Fame and go from 2 to 1 star in the process.. And no, this board doesn't let us put stars according to the number of years since the member has registered. Stars have to be associated with Ranks, and ranks are either manually given to members or linked to posts numbers. If you have ideas to improve the rankings system, go ahead! The meaning of it is to make HW a more friendly place. One of HW's 4 rules is "Quality. No post padding! (Quality before Quantity)." We don't want to encourage post padding, but we do want to recognize the members who are making of HW the #1 "World Wide Fans Community". If you don't believe me, check by yourself on google Btw, just for fun... And 2nd in google for "Fans Community" behind Harry Potte's website.. hehe :ghg: [Edited on 2005-12-10 by sakiqc] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony_ Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 No star for midget AAA - half a star for CHL - one star for AHL and two for NHL ? I'm guessing Hall of Fame gets more than NHL and Staff/HWL gets more than Hall of Fame. That's my idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think I deserve 4 stars. *waits to be bumped down to no stars* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortcat1 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) I talked to the honourable FOZZY BEAR about this issue and after considerable cogitation on the condition of these cosmic counters he came up with this idea. Everybody gets one star and I get one...... hundred orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr apply stars to members according to their age. Soooooooooooooooo, I get 55 (56 in January, hehehehe....) :hlogo: :hlogo: :hlogo: Edited December 24, 2005 by shortcat1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie_Morenz Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I was a star in the 50's! Does this get me an extra star, walk of fame imprint, a cup of Columbian coffee? Are the number of stars real important to the board, as i never noticed until this thread that HOF went to 1 star. Sometimes me peepers not seeing things properly any longer. Maybe the star system should work on number of posts. One star for each 500 posts? :ghg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Just because someone posts a lot (like me) doesn't mean they know what they're saying. The stars should be given out by admins. Hah, this feels like nursery school; earning gold stars and having them taken away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, this feels like nursery school; earning gold stars and having them taken away. as a junior & senior kindergarten teacher, i see the great value in giving the stars ... i would NEVER take the stars away. a star earned is a star kept . for those who are making wrong decisions , on this site, i would have you take a time-out at your designated chair :puke: . after a bit, we'd talk about making good choices. :king: Edited December 24, 2005 by shortcat1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest a 5 star system (if possible) Super Admins and Mods - 5 1000 - 4 500 - 3 100 - 2 n00b OMG! - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Why does it matter how many stars people have anyway? They're just decorations. But if you're going to start a system, it might as well be something similar to what Trizzak said above.

Trizzak Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 So....what's the new system? I noticed I currently embody an NHL Powerplay. What else is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Here is the new user rank system: Any comments? It is not complete, as I'd like to add other ranks at the end. Ex: scout.. assistant-coach.. coach.. GM..president.. owner.. retired number.. hof inductee.. Also, just noticed that NHL veteran appears twice humm Initiation 0 * Novice 50 ** Atom 100 ** Peewee 150 ** Bantam 200 ** Midget 250 ** CHL Rookie 300 *** CHL Star 350 *** NHL Draft Eligible 400 *** AHL Tryout 450 *** AHL Leader 500 *** NHL Injury Call-up 550 *** NHL Role Player 600 **** NHL Regular 650 **** NHL Power Play 700 **** NHL Franchise Player 750 **** NHL All-Star Team 800 **** NHL Veteran 850 **** NHL Idol 900 **** NHL Legend 950 **** NHL Stanley Cup 1000 **** NHL Yearbook Cover 1050 **** NHL Veteran 1100 **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMAC Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 bring back the Hall of Fame. Anyone over 1050 posts deserves the Hall of Fame.

Tony Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I like the concept Sakiqc proposed. I think I would be an NHL Stanley Cup or NHL Year Book Cover if I had all my posts back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
