I logged into the Second Life Forums today to find a private message from Representative Linden informing me my forum rank has been increased, although honoured should have a u in it, I’ll forgive them for that. I’d forgotten all about forum ranks, but there’s a link to a handy guide in the message, which you can read here.
Now I’ve never been a fan of forum ranks, I’ve always felt that people should contribute how they best see fit and be thanked or criticised for their contributions by other contributors. However now that I’ve been promoted and can lord it over others I’ve changed my mind, I think they’re ace! Oh wait a minute, I’m already a Lord, scrub that then, I still think they’re a little bit off. I’ve always felt you could give people extra permissions without the need for a public rank.
I have no idea what I’ll do with my newly inherited super powers, I shall have to ponder this, after unblocking my sink in the kitchen this evening I’m not exactly feeling honoured, although unblocking the sink was an achievement!
Ranks started with Lexie Linden, who along with Amanda tried to put some buzz into community gatherings. The ranks weren’t well received but I don’t think anyone really cares about them anymore.
