Note that new systems may require some re-calibration for the first 6 ranks which are hardcoded into my function so they may change the entire values and add/subtract a number of ranks but the growth rate after the first 6 will be the same as that example

Suggestion 4: One problem is that the larger post counts are still further away. It is also possible that I can take the fucntion and add an if statement to change the increase from 143% to something like 125% or something after a certain number of posts. It won't be as mathematically neat but it will create more higher up ranks probably.






A few things to note:
-If suggestion 4 wins I'll make a similar thread with post counts and numbers of ranks based on that.
-The next phase would involve naming any new ranks and figuring out where to place them. Rank images will also be needed
-Lastly after a comment by YPR and complaints by other users the color system will get a revamp. It will be similar but I think it will cycle through "phases"  e.g. Red is lowest in each phase, Violet is highest in each phase. If a user is in the violet rank of Phase 1 and then ranks into the next phase, they will move to the red rank of phase 2. It will solve the problem with so many of active users being Blue or Blue/Indigo currently, I think.

I think that with a lot more ranks it would be hard to come up with anything good dto call them but I do think it would be cool to be able to get a newer colour a bit faster  n_n

Can we at least change it so it's not the rainbow and make it a bit more varied so not everyone is some shade of blue/purple

I don't know, more ranks the better?

I can just make my own rank so I don't really give fuck

obviously

this please. too much blue.

in addition, can we consider having more interesting colors for mods/admins? why are we all just black?

More professional. They didn't teach you that in boring manager school?

suggestion five:
base rank on online time
and reward those who don't contribute activity?  madood;
