clraik Rank

[hissi]

this made me realize i had more rep than i thought, i also thought it was my rep power lol i understand the reasoning (looking forward to the detailed post tho!) but i know it must hurt to lose privileges you previously had so i'll start looking for ways to spread rep as well!

Ah, I see, please disregard my PMs, admins lol.

[Mookse]

I was so excited that I finally reached the green bar!

Totally understand though... I’m just sad I can’t see the reasons people have been banned now.

That's fair. I've been using Joe's and Bat's scripts/programs for free but you definitely deserve to get paid for the effort.

We appreciate the sentiment, @(you need an account to see links), but this change wasn't made with the intent to paywall our stuff. The rest of our ranks require community feedback to earn, by way of receiving +rep for making contributions to discussions, education, entertainment, or player experiences. clraik rank required 50 posts from an account that was at least 6 days old. It required zero community approval to obtain a rank that unlocks the vast majority of our perks, as well as sensitive topics of discussion. This has proven time and again to be a problem for us, and for the safety and confidentiality of our users, so we've realigned clraik rank to require a small amount of community favour in return for incentives.

Ahh this makes sense why I couldn't access the score sender anymore. Seems fair to me! I just checked my rep and it's not enough, but it's higher than I would've guessed. I lurk way more than I post here and I don't know shit about coding so it's definitely possible to earn some with a little effort

The vast majority of our higher-ranking users got a lot of their +rep simply by socializing in meaningful ways. It's the worst-kept secret to +repping in our community. If you're making friends and engaging others, then +rep steadily trickles in. There are about 5 coders, 3-4 guide makers and 2-3 news reporters who frequently contribute to the forums, but we have thousands of users that are clraik rank and above. The numbers speak for themselves: community favour is easy to get if you make a little effort to participate.

I understand it is it make the community better and safer, but personally I'm not much of a people person, when I do feel comfortable socialising its not something worth giving rep for. The scripts/programs is what kept me around so it would make more sense to benefit the people who made it rather than the community, even if it wasn't your intention. I know it sounds bad lol, Im just useless with the social side of things.

I think this is a very fair change, clraik+ was just too easy to get and this change definitely does make the title more deserving and make our community overall safer.

Although I got demoted, I think it probably isn't that difficult to get 15 reputation points (considering that we start with 10 points).

[motherfucker]

I believe that given the significant amount of content available to CK+ members, this was long overdue.

Lots of work has been put into so many facets over the past few months, and the privilege of use definitely needs to be earned.

IMO, a very welcomed update.

Let me just throw this in here:
