Author Topic: Lower-than-user rank names?  (Read 2995 times)

So I'm considering making a mod to add a more gradiented admin system, but first I need to figure out what to call lower-than-zero ranks.

Set in stone:
 8: Host
 7: Cohost
 6: Superadmin
 5: Admin
 4: Subadmin
 3: Operator
 2: Moderator
 1: Trusted User
 0: User

Not set in stone (yet):
-1: Untrusted User
-2: Troublemaker
-3: ???
-4: Problem User
-5: ???
-6: ???
-7: Community Menace

Does anyone have suggestions for ranks -1 through -7?

You shouldn't have any rank under User other than something like "Ban History". There's really no reason for 9 different ways to say User.

Also instead of subadmin you should do
4: Double Admin
3: Admin

You shouldn't have any rank under User other than something like "Ban History". There's really no reason for 9 different ways to say User.

The idea is that someone like Average Joe is rank 0 because I don't really trust him yet - but if Betelgeuse comes on while there are no admins, I trust him even less, so he's rank -5 or -6.

This lets Average Joe kick or ban Betel, even though he can't kick or ban other Users.


-2: Troublemaker
-7: Community Menace


Change troublemaker to -3 and make -2 "annoyance".

why bother having negative names

i mean i'm pretty sure if you have an "annoyance" or "troublemaker" in the server, you'd just ban him, because who would want that type of person in their server in the first place

Maybe I believe in second chances but don't want them to start a stuffstorm when every admin leaves.

That sounds like it could be very easily abused. Why not just use a vote kick / mute thing so that way it's a lot less likely to be abused. Maybe you can use your system where it makes their vote worth more. But really with negative numbers shouldn't they just be banned by that point?

Sounds like a very good example of a system that just won't work in blockland.


How about a ban system that only let's users spectate no matter what?

Perhaps they're unable to speak as well, but they're always free to watch if they feel entitled so. It'd be a neat way to taunt players who get banned and make them feel bad.

-1 User that should be banned.

wow, a bunch of different titles to give to people who cause problems. it's almost like a challenge to see who can reach -7. this is such a good idea!

if you do actually end up making this, you should make it so that users like 3 or 4 above your rank can take away your ability to to ban, or push you down ranks
