Roles and Ranks

  • What roles, or ranks, are available on the Community website??

    Like most online communities, we have a series of ranks/roles to recognize users who contribute content valued by the community. When a person first logs into the community website, they receive the New Resident rank. As they spend time as active participants, their rank will change. The higher the rank, the more exacting the requirements.

    Higher ranks in a community mean additional permissions or features may become available to you. The current rank groups and corresponding roles are listed below. Some roles have multiple different rank divisions within them. The main associated permission additions are listed after each rank/role.

    New Resident can:

    • Create a profile
    • Use private messages
    • Adjust preferences and settings
    Resident can:
    • Use a signature
    • Use simple HTML in posts and signatures
    • Use uploaded images as their avatars
    • Upload images
    • Insert images they have uploaded in posts
    • Share uploaded images
    • Give Kudos
    Member can:
    • Add a Youtube video to posts
    • Add a tag
    Advisor can:
    • Comment on KB articles
    Contributor can:
    • Start new knowledge base articles and edit draft (unpublished) articles (cannot publish articles)
    • Nominate topics for knowledge base articles
    Helper can:
    • Allow user to edit published knowledge base articles (cannot publish changes)
    Now go troll someplace else.

I can read as well as you can George. In fact probably better. But you and Suella haven't answered my questions.

Do you get extra points for cutting and pasting lumps of official text? Is THAT how you get to be an Advisor?

Neither

I don't, nor would I want or expect to be. I post when I want to, and when I want to post I tend to like to be helpful (or to ramble about cheese like an insane woman!)

I've only been able to post here for a few hours since this place opened just like everyone else. If I'd have done any beta testing here earlier this year, any post from that would have been deleted. I can neither confirm or deny whether I did any testing though because I'm not entirely sure if any NDA that I may or may not have signed still holds. It's irrelevant anyway - I've only been able to post here in the live forums at the same time everyone else has.

If I'd have swore anywhere (which I don't believe I have) I'd fully expect it to be moderated accordingly. I've no idea who the mods are, other than they are a team of staff employed by LL which is what Amanda Linden has stated in a few places.

Roles and ranks are based on various factors which you can read about here:

http://community.secondlife.com/t5/help/faqpage/faq-category-id/ranksroles#ranksroles

I believe they have based some of our existing rankings based on what we have previously contributed to the old forums / wiki etc.

To be perfectly honest I'm not a big fan of ranks. I've stated many a time that I'd much prefer people to be judged solely on the quality of their content rather than 'ranks'. Having said that, I also think ranks only really become an issue when we make them an issue by over-analysing and over debating them. So I have decided to largely ignore them and just judge people on what they do and say, and I hope and expect people to judge me in the same way.

I did consider asking if I could have a "Cheese Expert" rank though, which I'd honestly wear with far more pride than an "advisor" rank! I doubt I'll get one though as that would just result in cries of 'favouritism' and everyone would want their own custom rank! :-D

I'll give some advice on that though ... Just ask her, and if you don't like the answer or she doesn't want to tell you, move on and leave her be. :smileyhappy:

I'm having cheese on toast for supper!

Since you mention Villa, are you Rodvik or Cieran?! :smileyvery-happy:

(Bad luck btw. I'm sort of a Stoke supporter myself, so we are in the 1/4 finals and you ain't ... ner ner nerr! :smileyvery-happy:)

 

@everyone else - cool badges all! I should have known you'd all have already been playing like me.

I tried myself and did NOT need your help at all.

 

 

Ok ... I'm of course lying .. sneakpeeked once or twice and kept fiddling.

I'm through fiddling with the forumavatar-pic now, grumpy and should quit with it already.. :smileyindifferent:

I don't know if it's browser related, but the pic-dimensions I used differs. I better check it now with another system.

 

Good helpful post, Sus. :smileywink:

I originally posted the pic dimensions I used the wrong way round, but have fixed that now! I don't think those dimensions are exact though, but should be close enough.

Incidentally, I want a longer name now! It seems that your name overlaps giving you more room for a picture. :-D
