At SRL, there are 9 ranks (12 if you count retired) which all have different requirements and permissions!

These ranks are:

Banned Users

Note: A rank that has the same permissions as Banned Users do is the 'Suspended' rank. Often, users that have this have manually requested for it or have warranted staff enough reason to look into your account and come to a conclusion about the status of it.

Info: Banned users of SRL. These users have almost no forum permissions, which means they can't post or PM!

Nice guide, formatted nicely and provides useful information too.

Couple things I'd be weary of is the requirements for Banned users statement, granted the term used to describe banned users is quite a controversy to persons with disabled friends/family/etc. Plus I don't know if you'd want to add a Suspended users rank too, for users that are temporarily on leave to do manual actions from staff after offenses are shown to warrant such action. And finally, I do think it's true for developers rank when you say, "Must contribute heavily to the SRL include." I also think developers can apply for their rank too, granted this is a different kind of application on several levels.

Again, always nice to see some info posted on these stuffs, as well as good detail guides about most anything :]

Cheers,
LJ

Perhaps you should mention custom titles?

Ie:
"Faster than a speeding bullet!"
"SRL Aristocrat"
"The God Damn Batman"
many, many more

I agree, a more formal tone would be nice if this is going to become the goto guide about Ranks and Cups.

Overall nice guide though :)

Thanks for your input, Le Jingle. It's much appreciated.

I have added more information to the guide, and fixed up a few immature comments.

I too agree a more formal tone is required, and have edited the OP to account for this

Under MSI the description reads
"Users who have helped/submitted code to help MSI have this cip."
Just to point it out. Caught my eye as I was quickly reading over it.

You've forgotten the Community Member rank. Rarely seen, and I don't know if you have limited forum access when that's your rank, but I know it's to do with not confirming your email address.

Never thought about adding that… Nothing special to do with that. Hmm.

2013-07-05 06:38:39

Might be worth asking someone for some more details? Like I said, I don't know if there's certain things you can/can't do as a Community Member.

EDIT: Also, to apply for Members you now need to be Jr, and Jr is now 1 month and 30 posts, but 300 posts and 6 months are still required for the BM.

Thread has been cleaned up. If you wish to Suggest a Cup/Promotion, please use the link provided. - http://villavu.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=523

From: Kevin
I thought we were supposed to avoid that for ssrl due to their ability to read it and instead pm mods/admins?


If the cup/promotion is for a SSRL member, feel free to PM a staff member requesting a thread to be made in the correct section.

Hmm, judging by Justin's last post I'm going to guess some off-topic conversing occurred?

If anyone has a suggestion to add/change/remove anything, do tell.

Nothing to worry about, Just people 'suggesting/recommending' cups for other users.

Just noticed I'm now a Junior Member.
It is no longer 6 months + 300 posts for Junior Member, it's been changed to 1 month + 30 posts.
http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104635

Black market requirements are still 6 months + 300 posts.
