I don't like it because the ranks was one of the only things on our profile that wasn't customisable. It made me feel like everyone was united because we couldn't change our ranks automatically, we had to earn it. Now we have our name, picture, custom text, location, nicknames and all that other stuff that is customisable as well as the new custom titles. I think it's too much.
I know we have the Karma pod thingo but that is also controlled by our peers, so it's not a structured thing really. And I don't see the point in that because I have a feeling that people "trade" points to get more, so they're not really trying very hard.
At least we still have the stars to recognise how long a member has been on MLK, but because it's only year orientated, it isn't as interesting.
I liked the ranks because they had a fun structure to them and made people want to post more to earn ranks. It recognised people's efforts and created heroes (Kiarasmate) who were literally legends. I miss them, and I hope they come back someday.
