Concept: The GravitonSurge system of approval!
 

WetWired told me to post this, because he doubts anyone would go for it. Let's find out!

Here is the idea:

Those deemed worthy enough by an undetermined group of 5 or so respected, mature, intelligent members, including moi, will be given the GravitonSurge Stamp of Approval!™ It could be a rank or something of that sort that will show everyone just how damn awesome you are! Ladies will love you! Retards will back off! Get SoAed today!

Not stamped? Prove your valor to the forum, and you too may one day be donned the title of SUPER AMAZING! (But not as amazing as me, of course.)


Do you frequently find yourself flaming in general convo using witty one liners such as "your mom" and "stfu gayass"? Do you tend to back up your profound wisdom in arguements with... your own worthless, unfounded opinions?! Then the GravitonSurge Generally Annoying and Hard Headed™ members list is just for you!!


And last, as well as least.. the GravitonSurge Black List of Infinite Stupidity!™

Those that consistently show just how damn asinine they are will be placed on the BLIS. Similar to being losered, only more demeaning! People like The1, Pinoy_real, and Pimpiroth will be the mentally challenged that fall into this category! Truly, ignorance is BLIS.

Want to get off the BLIS? Learn how to spell!

The BLIS and GAHH wouldn't apply to staff.

Sounds good, one more reason (for me)to stop slacking off, when it comes to spelling and gramar and such.

There needs to be an inbetween. And your judging would have to be unbiased, or else this won't work. You can't put me in the dumbass category just because you hate me, for example.

I forgot to add that if the BLIS was added, it wouldn't apply to staff, just members. Brought that up with WW before. The SoA would, though.

No way. If there was a consensus, maybe, but probably not. Giving just one person that much priviledge, with so much speculation and bias at hand would never work.

No.

Also a point brought up before, don't have any solution for it besides a council of 5 or something of that sort. Still, it would bear my name. Why? Because 1) I'm the longest running active member and 2) I kick ass.

If all would be fair, I'm all for it. I will admit, you do have good judgement skills when it comes to 'grading' threads.

Name the 5 then. It could add another dynamic to Zelaron, for the good, but the 5 would clearly have to be determined beforehand.

I would choose Raziel, possibly Bob, and possibly you (Titusfied) right off the bat because you all post alot and are mature enough for it. I'll have to think about the others. I'd want to keep it mostly members, though, rather than staff.


You'd have to become quite a bit dumber to be BLISed.

seriously, grav, i don't wanna be BLISed. :/

holy shit, i'm never getting SoAed with that kind of council.

Edit:

so you mean i'm not a total fuckup yet?

Keyword there is yet, if you want to see truly stupid look up some old Pinoy_Real posts, they'll make anyone seem smart. I think this would be a pretty damn good idea if you could get a decent council, seems you have one in the making.

slim, i've been here a lot longer than you - almost a year. 'yet' has been a long time coming, i guess. and i seriously cannot fathom how you came to the conclusion that slaynish, OF ALL PEOPLE, is better than me? wow. :killgrin:

More rankings are always good. I like to classify people into as many categories as possible.

Besides, calling people infinitely stupid is fun.

This isn't about you guys, though. Shhh.


I was considering an inbetween rank.

Like.. not BLIS-worthy, but not great, either. Slaynish-esque.

Sure. Sounds like a great idea, a small step behind Loser for the BLIS list, right? If the judging is unbiased, I am all for it.

The difference being it would be permanent unless revoked. And, well, I kick ass, so my rating means a lot more than something Sov slaps down!

True, and you are probably less-lenient than him. Last I saw, Gunbound's Losering for 720 days was over, he is officially not a Loser anymore.

How would it be revoked? Would it be a study of a member's progress within a day? A week? A month?

So we've got the Stamp of Approval, the General Stupidity Award (or whatever you want to call it) and the BLIS?

Still thinking of a catchy acronym.


Basically if it's decided that a member has made a decent effort to improve, they can be removed. Chances of this happening are slim to nil though, as those who get on the list can't even spell progress.

don't call it the general stupidity award. that's giving slaynish too much credit.

I'm glad the population of Slaynish's and Pimpiroth's have decreased a tiny bit in the past week, but we still have members who tpye lkei tihs.

yeah, hit the d2 forums once in a while. lol.

Shh, you were set equal to The1 a few minutes ago, you aren't in a position to call anyone stupid.

Back on topic maybe the GNA, General Nuisance Award?

wtf? where?

slim, in all honesty, i don't know where you come from acting all high and mighty to me.

This would be User Note heaven. Elaborate more though. Once you have a finalized, or semi-finalized setup for what you want to do, write it up in a long breathed, tedious post, so that all angles are covered.

How about the GAY award, Generally Acclaimed Yutz.

SAD = slaynish & D3V :p

It's still a WIP. If you all want to give ideas, go for it. I'm thinking about stuff.

Would that mean Grav and other non staff would have to become a Moderator or Senior Staff Member to view the User Notes in order to discuss them privately in the Staff Forum?

Grav, how long would people be judged? Would they be judged on past histories or would their slate be clean? Indeed an interesting concept. Hopefully you can get a finalized setup soon. Maybe a neat icon or something next to avatar if there is room.

cool idea, but i doubt it.

The middle group could be:

GAHH - Generally Annoying and Hard Headed

I believe that would describe them perfectly.

Anyway, I'll see who posts in this thread later and discuss it with those most likely to be on the COUNCIL OF COOL KIDS

Nooo greav shouldn't ever have privileges again, remember what he did when he was mod? The bitch gave his mod access to people at CL and they fucked up the forum!!! [/rant]







I don't really care...

The Gay Gift could be rewarded to the homosexuals of Zelaron.

The GG?

It would have to be a No Re(turn) GG, though.

*restrains self from making gay bashing comment*

slim, you don't exactly deserve the SoA from what i've observed of you, either.

and one thing to consider grav. don't EVER take the flame forum to be a fair judge of personality unless it's a flame war, and its apparent both sides are actually participating and not throwing one and two liners back and forth.

I wouldn't be getting any of those most likely.
I'm pretty sure since Grav designed this he can judge it however he wants, and I wouldn't suggest trying to tell him what not to do.

i wasnt telling him what not to do, it was a fucking suggestion. jesus christ.
