niKee Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Hello! The IPS Community Suite is actually the best software in so many aspects. The Reputation System and the Rank System are two powerful engagement tools, but it's still the same from a long time. People like to follow their own progress online, and trophies, medals or special badges are here to prove it. It would be nice if this system were natively improved. The rank system can be more advanced, showing to the members how many points/posts they should make to reach the next level/rank. In the ACP, you can configure which actions will generate rank points. This rank/level can be shown in the member profile as a progress bar (or another graphics) with different colors for each different level/rank instead of a static image or black dots with an impact phrase/title, as some plugins to XenForo do (progress bar). In XenForo they call this "Trophy points" natively – They're better than black dots, again. This is nothing more than an idea that I think is good for improving an old/deprecated IPS ranking/black-dots system. A very helpful system today.
