The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum

[Olimar12345]

As you accumulate stars, the titles will progress. You get stars by posting. Do not spam post to get stars tho or you're going to have a bad time.

[JDMEK5]

Said stars don't actually do anything, however.

So they're pointless titles then?

Ok so I have no clue where to ask this. What exactly are these positions? Nintendo Nocturne? Samus Sonata? Video Game Midi? I know this sounds like a dumb question but I seriously have no idea. And like I said I had no clue where to put this.

Well uh, last time I checked, a question about something wouldn't really be a redesign to the forum, would it . I guess we don't really have a general help topic or something, but maybe check here before you ask questions about something about how the forum itself works. Olimar's answer covers it.

Note: If you would have checked out the linked "help" page and clicked on "profile" and scrolled down to "membergroup" it does state that your "post-based membergroup is displayed."

So they're pointless titles then?

Eh, personally I would call them decorative, but, if they're pointless to you, sure, I guess...

yes.  Only for very few people do they hold any power.  I, being the resident Nocturne, am one of those few.

Reminded me of this:

This one is going to sound really goofy but....
I think we should be able to get more stars (stars that represent our post count.)
We can only get 30 currently.

That's an old post XD

[braix]

I still liked the idea. After Nintendo Nocturne, the fun of achieving a new title dies completely

[Sebastian]

That's true, but it could still cause spamming.
Maybe it'd be a better idea if there were "achievements" for different things. For example, how much you've spent online, how many arrangements you have on site, how many pictures you've drawn in the art topic, etc.
There are many possibilities.

Basically contributions to the community. Spamming doesn't contribute anything so I guess measuring it like that would work.
I don't know how exactly a system would count that though. This is the only complication I can think of

[Dudeman]

Perhaps number of sheets that have been accepted? I think that's a pretty standard measure of someone's contribution to the site as a whole. Plus it would be a little added incentive to submit sheets.

[braix]

Some people might not want to submit sheets or not be confident enough to arrange anything. You could contribute to the general community by posts and stuff too.
That said, maybe there could be achievements for posts(or whatever it would be) and a separate one underneath for stuff like sheets. Basically one for the forums and one for the main site

[Dudeman]

This. This is a good idea.

Sounds awesome.
