A community faction rank system is now available. The system works as follows: If you want to increase the faction rank of a specific community member, simply click on the blue mesmerize icon under their name. If you wish to decrease their faction rank, then click on the red mesmerize icon. The faction rank of one community member may not be affected more than once per week by the same community member. No community member may adjust more than twenty faction ranks in a twenty four hour period. Only those out of their probationary period may participate in adjusting the faction ranks of others, but every community member is eligible to be adjusted.

On the first of each month, your accumulated faction points from the previous month will be entered into a pool for the drawing of a $25 USD Amazon gift card.

Please forward the discussion of this system to this thread: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2056

Good luck and have fun!

very neat!!

Well that seems like an interesting idea... But id hate to think you will be giving away $25 a month on gifts for us all, tad unfair!

Perhaps the lowest faction member for that given month should be forced to pay up ha.

Yeahlight do you mind if i ask what is your reasoning behind this idea, promote the fourms to get more people interested in EQC, or pheraps just to reward us lot for our support, or just because you a nice guy?

Yeahlight for president!

Every now and then experienced members submit really top notch posts, especially in the class section, and writing 'thanks' just seems like a waste. Good thinking.

It does sound like 25 dollars a month but I actually interpreted it a different way. I took it as either A. The winner each month will be put in a pool until the project is finished and then he will draw or B. Your points will accumulate in the pot until the project is finished then winner will get the card.

I could be and probably am wrong but that was just the first way I took it after reading.

There will be a drawing for a gift card every month.

Well Yeahlight, it looks like you're on track to win for this month.

Weird I dont see the faction modifiers on my name does that mean something or am I just not special enough

You cannot vote for yourself /bonk =p

Oh wow I feel like a complete idiot now. Please keep moving nothing to see here.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Favoritism voting anyone?

Yeah, sure.

p.s. It's flawed. You shouldn't be able to decrease the faction, only increase. That way anytime someone says something smart, we can give him a thumbsup. Not just degrade him/her because they disagreed with you or you "dont like his tone".

I really like Potent's idea. As much as I like having the freedom of voting down on someone, I feel like it might be used in the wrong way most of the time. But it is the devs decision on what they want for their site.

The rules for this system have been changed. Please use the following thread to review and discuss the current system: viewtopic.php?f=24&p=28557

Really digging the new rules for this. I knew you guys would come up with something unique instead of just removing the negative feature.

The buttons only show up in the Dark Fantasy skin and not the subsilver2 skin.

Still able to downrate people for no reason at all. Still can be abused *sigh*

There is always a reason. Who would downgrade someone for the heck of it?

think he's referring to maybe the idea that since the higher people want to win the reward, they would put lower any challenger that is getting ++ faction frequently and on the rise.

but u can only downgrade someone once every 14 days. Someone dropped me by -1 for some reason, must be because i was at 4, and that seems to be where most people are at right now (except for yeahlight)

The alternate template only receives critical updates.

it's awesome, it gives the community a little something back for following.

You won't find this on my followings.
