It's not all about the ranks and I figured there should be a topic in which the first post makes it clear what changed.

Ranks

* Removed builder, advbuilder, mason, architect, mod
* Added member and veteran, based solely on autopromotions
* Everybody below supop was demoted to guest and then re-ranked with AutoRank

Notes: If you remain guest after the autoranking it's probably due to kicks, which may have been "fun kicks". Please report it here.

Maps

* architect1 = veteran0
* advbuilder7,8,9,10 = veteran1,2,3,4
* builder43,44,45,46,47,48,49 = member1,2,3,4,5,6,7
* buildernew = membernew
* advbuildernew = veterannew

Notes: NO maps were deleted. Maps before advbuilder7 and builder43 retain their names - just /wload them with i.e. /wload builder40 builder40

Rules

* member and veteran are awarded SOLELY with AutoRank
* kicking for fun (other abuse too, but this especially) will from now on be punished with an IMMEDIATE demotion if/when caught - no appeals, no discussions
* to become OP you will have to NOT ASK FOR IT and obtain the rank of veteran first - you also have to be registered and at least semi-active on the forums - the rank will be awarded by SupOPs+ after suggestions/discussions (which won't be public) - there is NO DEFINED "GOAL" you can achieve to become OP, so don't try - just play and be nice
* builds are no longer ranked and will not accelerate promotions - try your best, still, and don't build silly stuff on themed maps but other than that just have fun
* public discussion of the autorank system, i.e. trying to figure out what is being tracked (there are many different parameters) will be punished - the parameters are to remain secret so people get out of their rank and goal focused mindset

Notes: Some old OPs that have already been active on the forums can request their rank to be re-considered. I don't want to waste time to check the old PlayerDB vs forum accounts, so that's a way of letting me know. =)

Commitment, activity and loyalty as a basis of promotion instead of uberskillzorz? Unheard of!
Oh, that's kinda what the SpA community is about? hmm, nyeah . . .

well, if that's the case, why am I still trustee? I just walk around most of the time doing nothing. Surely that isn't the works of a trustee!

Long time no see killzone, didn't you go on holiday or summin'?

No, school work picked up so I had that to concentrate on that more, plus I recently bought Fallout 3 so my limited free time has been spent on that.

Completely understandable, last Summer I spent more time on that game than I did on breathing.

I wish most people in the game would come to the forums and read this.
