FFR Suggestions

Re: FFR Suggestions

Since It's clear many (if not most) people on the site think that the requirements for being a Veteran seem a little silly.

I think that we should create different types of Veteran statuses, each with it's own unique requirements.

For example:

a) FFR Game Veteran - Achieve a Grandtotal Score of at least 10 Billion, have at least 10,000 games played, have at least 75% of songs FC'd, and 50% of songs AAA'd.

b) FFR Forum Veteran - Have at least 1,500 Forum Posts and at least 250 +1's to your posts (combinable, and I'll explain this later).

c) FFR Site Veteran - Be a member of FFR for at least Five Years, and have Forum Veteran and Game Veteran Status (Replaces both with this.)

d) FFR Elite Supporter - Be credited for at least 3(maybe 5?) different ideas to update the site that were achieved OR be credited for appearing at an FFR Meetup, and have FFR Site Veteran status (Replaces)

What I wrote in Forum Veteran about +1'ing posts, was another idea of mine. To eliminate some postwhoring, I thought we could include a "Was this post helpful/relevant to the thread?" With a "Yes or No" option. This yes or no option would be available only to members approved members (approved by possible application sent to moderator's or people approved to check over them?), to avoid people hoarding the +1 option or using alts to up their count.

I think the req's you stated for Game Veteran is a little bit high, especially for some people who may have been playing for years and still aren't good enough to AAA 50% of the songs, that's currently over 500, and the same for FC's, being a D4 player and still don't have near 500, nor do I have 10bil yet.
The different types of veteran's seems like a good idea to me, but it should also be able to work for lower tier players as well.

I will admit, 50% AAA's is a bit much. Though FC's are not that challenging when the large majority of songs are <9 difficulty.

I also disagree with changing 10-15 Billion requirement, since that requires playing the game alot, wouldn't that make sense?

It should certainly be high but maybe a little lower, like 7.5bil? It seems reasonable since that still takes a ton of playing over a long period of time.

I'm afraid you'll get nowhere with this like the many other threads with this idea. D:

a) FFR Game Veteran - Achieve a Grandtotal Score of at least 10 Billion, have at least 10,000 games played, have at least 75% of songs FC'd, and 50% of songs AAA'd.

10 billion is a little high, but to fit the "veteran" feel I suppose it's alright. This one will be subjective for sure, but I think the FC/AAA %s are bit high.

b) FFR Forum Veteran - Have at least 1,500 Forum Posts and at least 250 +1's to your posts (combinable, and I'll explain this later).

The +1 idea might be okay, but validating each +1 would be tiresome as you explained below. We have so many members that it'd be disgusting to have to wade through all of the approvals. vBulletin has a reputation feature, but it might be spammed by trolls. Negative reputations can be removed by moderators/admins though, so it could be feasible.

c) FFR Site Veteran - Be a member of FFR for at least Five Years, and have Forum Veteran and Game Veteran Status (Replaces both with this.)

Seeing as the site has been up for over 10 years, I suppose 5 years is an okay benchmark. However, a good chunk of the current userbase is from late 2007 onward. They'll have to wait then, so this could be good.

d) FFR Elite Supporter - Be credited for at least 3(maybe 5?) different ideas to update the site that were achieved OR be credited for appearing at an FFR Meetup, and have FFR Site Veteran status (Replaces)

I don't really like this one. You don't have to volunteer your input when being on this site, and while it's certainly helpful to the staff, you shouldn't have to expect any huge commendation other than a "thanks" from the staff and adding your idea(s) to the site. As for the appearance at a meetup, this may be subjective but many people cannot make it to events such as FFR meetups because of location, so it makes this title sort of elitist.

Overall, these are okay levels, other than the last one which I don't agree with. The names could use some work as well, but this seems like it'd be a feasible idea if the community wanted to split veteran status into levels.

My responses in bold.

Sadly this is probably true, it would be nice if a few more ideas from here were used in the game/site.

EDIT: Netjet I'm not sure why, but I think you quoted yo man wrong xD

Re: FFR Suggestions

*your responses*

Precisely why I put this in the Suggestions thread. I sincerely doubted that my ballpark estimates of requirements would be right, so I put this here instead of in a new thread so it could be worked on with others to help perfect it.

EDIT: XD Netjet how did you manage that

Re: FFR Suggestions

Alright. And how did I end up quoting it as Zak? lmao

Re: FFR Suggestions

10bil includes probably what, 400 people? That's kinda high I think still..

[Netjet!]

Re: FFR Suggestions

Yeah, 5bil is probably around ~1200 people I think? Probably somewhere around that. Maybe 4-5 bil would be better? Really depends on what level you'd draw the line for "veteran".

Well the site has been up for so long it's only natural to have a rather high amount of people with rather high GT's

Re: FFR Suggestions

side tangent. i dont know if this has been lost in previous pages. but i would like a way to gamble credits on MP matches. I know you can challenge someone, but to be able to actively wager credits i think would help the competitive side of MP. just a thought

Forum suggestion: remove the difficulty discussion threads from the recent forum activity on the front page (it's cluttering up the front page for those who don't care to discuss in that particular area of the forums).

Will do this now.

Done I think. Please point out any errors that I may have caused.
