Still, things would get worked around and such and it would be abused heavily.
Sorry, but can I just say something? I don't want to sound like a rude prick.
I believe iMight said that the active members were the ones obtaining this rank, and be honest. Getting Active Member isn't easy. For one, all these annoying kids spamming threads don't get likes, unless they're from friends or ALTS, and lets face it. That is a heavy factor against iMight, but I personally think it would be a nice idea and can be adjusted.
For example, let's say..
1) Has to have 1000 posts and 500 likes, this is hard to gather on itself, so this should be a requirement.
2) A mods approval to get a custom tag, which only mods can edit, so for example.
*Darkrai202 goes up to Chad*
Hi Chad, I'm an Active Member and popular on the forums, could I please have a tag under my name saying 'MCSG'S #1 Narwhal'
Chad: Sure! Here you go.
*Durk102 goes up to chad*
hai dod can i hav mod tag undr my naem i got frends 2 giv me lieks and i got it in 1 day mod tag pls
Chad: No, sorry this only applies to members who obtained a popular title fairly.
3) This tag can't be edited by the player, so they'd have to ask a mod/Sr Staff/Admin (Whatever rank should be able to grant the title) this means whatever the mods see fit to be a name can only be granted, nothing that the mods deem out of control.
4) No in-game changes. This means no special name in-game, no benefits over others. Just on the forums.
With these changes, would the goods outweigh the bads? Anyway, don't want to start a war on who's wrong and who's right so sorry if this post seemed like I'm trying to best you or something.
