I like the Architect prefix idea. It suits the original purpose i had for that rank without the issues previously mentioned. The reason why I said that promotions should be taken more seriously because i feel that t6 promotions are practically just given away at times. Actually, I've seen a player(who will remain nameless) horribly abuse commands very similar that our OPs have on another server and was then promoted to T6 before I could state my concerns. I do feel like t8 should be taken more seriously aswell. Also, I dont think Honored and Trusted should be seperate ranks. The honored rank in the proposed system is a rank that grants eligibility for OPit. An OP should be helpful and available as well as trustworthy. We don't need two ranks to show that. So with the proposed ideas, this is what we have so far:
Ranks
~Guest(has logged in to the server)
~Builder(has built one structure)
~Honored(is deemed trustworthy with annoying commands and has shown noticeable helpfulness in the servers community)
Prefix
~Architect(has built amazing structures with stunning quality and detail)(would be displayed as an "A" next to ones username)
Again i really like the Architect prefix idea. It displays the achievement without interferring with the other ranks. You don't need Honored to earn the "A" and you don't need the "A" to achieve Honored. Also I do think there should be a long wait between builder and honored ranks. We probably should keep track of that on the promo thread. We only need to do this once per person so it should be a bit less of a hassle than the current system and it should take less room since there won't be any repeats. I notice a lot of OPs don't look for any previous promotion on the thread when editting the promo thread. Good thing is if this does end up finally getting applied to the server than no one would need to worry about that anyway. Also I don't think there needs to be a wait to achieve the "A" prefix. If a really talented player joins the server, Why make him wait? The Architect prefix should be available to anyone Builder+ if they deserve it.
