TOPIC: [Forum] Suggestion - Multi Rank Icons & Format

Server Name: ZARP Gaming Forums

Suggestion Title: Multi rank icons and rank formatting

How would it benefit the server: Would give the forums a slightly nicer look to them, they feel like they are coming on a bit in age but minor changes can really do a lot for it!

Potential Issues/Exploits: None really? Compatibility with Kunena

Additional notes: Stolen from a forum I did the CSS and HTML for, improved Nafe's idea of improvement. Obviously these ranks are not all applicable to ZARP however these are just examples.


How the multi rank would look.

How the rank formatting looks.

Multi ranks aren't a bad idea, maybe it can show if you're a global mod, section mod, CM etc. etc. But please for the love of Christ don't add that glittery text or any of those text effects they look so cheap, I can't stand that.

that looks fucking awful literally would rather look at fortnite skins than that pile of shit

we just dont need all of those ranks, and theres not enough ranks to warrant something like this.

This makes no sense

ArdiEmma wrote: Cause I'm suggesting using CSS for ranks not that specific effect?

euan wrote: ur supposed to suggest what should be used not just oh u could do this i get ur new to the forums but just look at a few other suggestions

In my opinion they should remove the section moderator ranks and once someone gets accepted as an Administrator on and server, they will have access to specific sections to also moderate the forums (such as appeals and report abuse) so they can deal with them more easily without having to wait for section mod or higher.

Though this should give them limited powers to prevent mass abuse from happening.

I think lead team members should be given this privilege, it would give the forums a greater staff presence but definitely not lower than that.

euan wrote: Why use just CSS over javascript/typescript? what is currently in place is better than what you're suggesting

suggestion
noun
1.
an idea or plan put forward for consideration.

I think the definition and purpose of a suggestion is pretty clear. If a suggestion is made that the developers like that don't have to follow the exact definition; and instead can modify it to best suit Zarp.

euan wrote: yeah but you're saying that like this website isn't using CSS? what is the suggestion

Lewis_is_java wrote: Then you know as I'm presuming you do it's not hard to incorporate, it can be done other ways anyway? Your point is that do it through JS? That's fine, my suggestion isn't add CSS. You're arguing tomato/tomato, I just used my examples from work I did using CSS.

euan wrote: i just want to know what the suggestion is that's all

Lewis_is_java wrote: Prettier rank formatting, i.e for VIPs, Admins etc. and multi rank icons so you can display server mods etc. Probably should have included this in my OP; thought it was clearer so that's my bad.
