There's my fully new stuff!
I think every tuner don't know , how much work he need to do to promote..
Let's try do fix it!
First, let's look at our profiles.

We see some new lines:
Rank , Level and experience bar.
Now we know, how much exp we need to get promoted.
And the second screen , how it can be looked in forum.


I know that it reminds you of rpg system... but why not?))
---
The system of increasing\decreasing levels and ranks will be posted tomorrow , when I finally done it and when I see there some good comments about this idea)
(it will be very interesting, I guarantee it)

status bar just wouldnt work, it will be very hard work to code and say if a chopper makes an amazing chop, gains 20% then does a rubbish chop next there not gonna decrease it are they
autemo is great the way it is for promotions

That bar idea is realy Good...

we'll wait for the Level system to be Explained

thx for contribution pal..

There's no need in hardcore coding, cauze moderator just need to change a png in profile.
And the system also will be very simple)

I will explain everything)

Yes, in theory it is a very simple system. However, as Zero said, a chopper could do a Pro Tuner level chop, but then his next chop is an Intermediate level chop. That would mean that us admins constantly would be changing experience bars.
If we got real technical, the bar would be based on chop ratings, but that would be too technical.

could be very helpfull imo , as long as beside that the personal promotion is not completely gone ... sort of a mixture ???

About system :

In every new chop, moderator (or admin) looks at the comments and make a new post with the percentage he gave to the chopper. (watchers can also post a comment with % they want to give, if they were moderators)

1-5 Levels
Each new chop =
+200% (Upper rank chop!)
+100% (if it has no big mistakes and looks well done)
+50% (some mistakes but not big, still looks good)
+20% (some big mistakes, but still 'on level' chop)
no exp (chop is ugly)
-50% (down-ranked chop)

5 Level grants the promotion, so
New Chopper -> Intermediate Chopper

(and next time everything is repeated. Each five levels - promotion. Levels are unlimited. After 30 level, there's no Upper rank chops, so +100% is the highest mark)

Also have some thoughts about a system of 5 levels: ( d,c,b,a,x (grades\Ranks\other)- maybe...) But I prefer the first one)

There's also a lot of achievements we can add to this )

sorry buddy, very nice idea, and we appreciate it we really do

BUT

the system wouldn't work. Let me explain why:

going off what you've wrote and explained, people could post a chop that is exactly the same quality of other chops they've posted and they gain experience. As it stands, we promote choppers based on skill level and not experience. If we did it the way you're proposing, a Brand new chopper could post 30 chops of exactly the same level and be in elite a few weeks later. It wouldn't work. Not to mention the fact (as Nicklas pointed out) we would have to go in and replace the bars every single time a chopper posts up a new chop. Imagine how much work that will involve when we have 5000+ members.

Like i said, the coming up with ideas is good, we appreciate it, but some are too impractical.

Hm.. So how about re-make this idea a little?)
I knew You will explain me everything I made wrong, and as always I had my 'Plan B'))

we're always open to plan B's matey, go ahead
