Triple post madness!!
My ideas for rank names to suit the rank system above:

Guest - Guest
Sleeper - Builder Rank 1
Drifter - Builder Rank 2
NightOwl - Builder Rank 3
Insomniac - Builder Rank 4
Nightwatch - Staff Rank 1
Owner - Staff Rank 2

Notes:
- I don't think "Guest" needs an alternative name. It is better to keep things simple for teh noobs.
- "Insomniac" may be seen as the best/highest rank, but it is a waste to use that for the Owner rank seeing as owner is unachievable. It is better to have the highest builder rank as "Insomniac" since it makes it more desirable, and it is still appropriate because it will take many late nights to accomplish builds and skills for that level.
- "Nightwatch" has both a night theme and authority/security theme.
- "Owner" is just owner because it helps when this is clear for people with server queries. Also, I can't think of another word that would suit   Open to suggestions.

BRILLIANT. Love it. Print it. Make it happen.

[Juwayyid]

I like it.  Nice an organized.  I agree that keeping guest rank as guest will help to clear confusion.  I think the permissions and how to rank up work well.  We originally said 6 ranks and this is only 5, yet it all flows smoothly and I believe will satisfy.


I'm for what Bren has suggested here, however it would be neat to give "owner" a neat name too, like Kidd suggested "Sandman."

Anyone else agree or disagree?

[bren4q]

I'm for what Bren has suggested here, however it would be neat to give "owner" a neat name too, like Kidd suggested "Sandman."

Yep. +1 on Sandman for Owner.

[Skitty]

personally i think it should all be levels of sexslaves. but thats just me.

[pusur44017]

+1 for Bren's idea.

[sifitis]

hmm, if we keep guest and owner the same, I'm cool with it. The problem I had before was the confusion regarding noob-authority communication.

another +1 for Bren's idea.

[Saracalia]

Bren, with you ranks, have them named after the same as the classic servers or something similar

Guest > Builder Rank 1
Builder > Builder Rank 2
ProBuilder > Builder Rank 3
AdvBuilder > Builder Rank 4
EliteBuilder > Builder Rank 5 (Donator)
Operator > Staff Rank 1 (Server Moderator)
SuperOP > Staff Rank 2 (Server Administrators) or Sandman as this rank is usually for the server owners

It is only a suggestion with names, and I would completely go with bren4q's idea.

With the donor rank, should there be anything noticeable that comes along with the rank (other than /nick command) like a color change or should donors be somewhat like anonymous information, with no one knowing who donated and who didn't? Those who donated get a different rank on survival. How would it be set for creative?

For Staff, would it be possible for someone who currently has, in Bren's rank set, Builder rank 2 or 3 to suddenly jump to staff? Or is it gradual as in you go up each rank at a time? Staff is a rank that requires a lot of responsibility and trust more than skills in building/creating, in my opinion.

[Juwayyid]

That's true Jay.  I'd say being around long enough to rank all the way to the top would that player has followed rules, played respectfully, and is dedicated to the server. 

I would say its more of a matter of trust as well though.  It would be up to current staff to decide if a player will be good for the job depending on many factors, like responsibility, maturity, dedication, etc. 

I don't know that donors need there own rank as buying your way to the top is corrupt, so maybe we should find some more benefits.  Statues at spawn or some special donor village to build in?

[Jaysers]

No no I didn't mean a donor gets a higher rank than anyone. Like Bren listed, the only benefits a donor would get on Creative would be the /nick command. I was asking if a donor should have any recognition or not.

[Juwayyid]

Anyone know of titles like we had on classic are possible on creative?  (Not rank titles, but custom, nickname titles that don't change your username but allow you to be called something like [Drifter]KingofCastles-Thrash393)

[Krawkyz]

Anyone know of titles like we had on classic are possible on creative?  (Not rank titles, but custom, nickname titles that don't change your username but allow you to be called something like [Drifter]KingofCastles-Thrash393)

Yes those are possible, but takes a bit of work.

[TheAlmightyVance]

I think a veteran rank would be nice, a cool name for it could be Insomnia (which means cant sleep). These people would get all the ranks/perms after Builder Rank 4.
