Topic: Implements that could benefit the forum/site and members (suggestions)
Being on this forum for some time, I have noticed some things that could be implemented that could excite current and future members of the bricksinmotion community.
Here are my implement suggestions for the forum:
Post Count]: Now I think Post Count on forums is really a great feature to have for any forum for that matter. It really tells you a lot about the person, in regards to how active he may be, how frequently he posts or just generally if his a heavy poster or not. Not only this but this also could create more active members to get there activity more recognized. Sure it could cause more spammers, but spammers are everywhere and theres always going to be spammers on forums they just need to be dealt or warned accordingly. I notice that you can see how many posts you've made on your profile but it's private from everyone else.
Rank System]: Following up from Post Count comes my next implement that follows from the Post Count, a Rank System. So how this works is for example. If a new member joined BIM on his status it would say New Brickfilmer or Noob. Then for more experienced members say members that have 200 posts could have the status ''Brickfilmer'' or ''Iron Poster'' It doesn't exactly have to be relative to the actual subject of the forum this status could be more for how active the person is or by how many posts his made. I honestly think this could be a really nice feature to add on to an already great forum but all in all I believe it could be so much better. Not only this but it would also substantially create and bring in more active members wanting to get those different ranks.
Time monitor]: The time monitor is the last implement feature I'd like to mention. How this works is by being under the status/posts and letting the community know just how active you are. It would be a 24 hour system and only works while your active on the forums, if you leave the forums logged in and afk the timer automatically pauses until your active again. That way earning time is earned by actually spending time and participating on the forum. For example, if I've been on the website for the past week and all up I've spent 3 hours 45 minutes. That would be my under my posts/ranking. For someone more experienced and with a lot more time it could be 32 days 16 hours. This timer works by minutes then extends to hours then finally days. 32 days X 24 hours equals: 768 hours.
So what do you guys think? Could this be done? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
Sincerely,
Divine.
