Archived What is that jargon near your username, you ask? Here's what those ranks mean.

What is that military jargon near your username, you ask?

It's our fun little forum ranking system. The ranks are based on the amount of "likes" received your account has (think: upvotes). Every time another member hits the 'Like' button on your post, you gain a point. When you hit a new threshold, you level up in rank.

Do these ranks actually do anything? Nope, they're just here for extra flavor.

The structure works like this:

• I • Recruit
  • 0 total upvotes on your account
• II • Private
  • 1 total upvotes on your account
• III • Private First Class
  • 50 total upvotes on your account
• IV • Lance Corporal
  • 100 total upvotes on your account
• V • Corporal
  • 250 total upvotes on your account
• VI • Sergeant
  • 500 total upvotes on your account
• VII • Staff Sergeant
  • 1,000 total upvotes on your account
• VIII • Gunnery Sergeant
  • 2,500 total upvotes on your account
• IX • Master Sergeant
  • 5,000 total upvotes on your account
• X • Sergeant Major
  • 10,000 total upvotes on your account

Fun fact... For the first couple of years the forum was online, we had different verbiage that no longer exists:

0 - Lurker
1 - Bronze
50 - Silver
100 - Gold
250 - Platinum
500 - Diamond
1,000 - Onyx
2,500 - Grandmaster
5,000 - Legendary
10,000 - Mythical

@Tyler, it appears this is not displaying for T3G O.G.'s I checked a few of them out and did not see it showing.

I’m still trying to figure that out. It should be working in a bit.

 

[Jay]

I want my platinum

 

[Tyler]

I can manually fix them but I still can’t find a way to reset everyone that used a custom one.

 

[Tyler]

If you guys are curious who some of the top ranked members are, you can see the list here: https://tacoma3g.com/members/?key=most_likes

Onyx club FTW!

Remember, this is just for fun. Nothing else.

What makes an OG?

What makes an OG?

OG went to the 25 members that joined the site before it was opened to the public. They essentially volunteered to be beta testers.

 

[Sour_Taco]

Ahh.... got it. Can I self-identify as an OG?

EDIT: Dangit! You stole my custom T3G level banner

 

[Ron]

fun

 

[Ron]

But I like Mod Enthusiast better lol

There's always that one fucker.....

 

[Silent_Taco4x4]

I want that T3G level: Secret!
Can only those in the secret level see what it is? So for a lurker it would just say Secret, but those of us in it could see what it actually was?!?!

Actually, no. Once someone gets there everyone will see it and it won’t be secret anymore.

I was unsure about stealing your custom titles. Maybe when you hit the last rank you can have a custom one?

what if we have like black diamond, moab king, mall crawler. stuff like that ////

 

[Silent_Taco4x4]

I like this idea! Obviously 10,000+ would be Mall Crawler...

This is a really good idea we just need more of them.

 

[mcharfauros]

Just want mine to say "Jedi" since i'm about to hit up the Space Force recruiter!

 

[Tyler]

Just came in here to check if the next one is 2,000 since I’m getting close. It’s not, so I’ll fuck myself out of this thread now.

 

[azshooter40]

Liking everything so I can get more likes!!!!

 

[0uTkAsT]

If "ChadsPride" from TacomaWorld was over here, everyone would be Onyx by now.

I like this idea! Obviously 10,000+ would be Mall Crawler...

I have 11,723 likes on TacomaWorld, and a "like button" didn't even exist for half of the time I was most active over there.

Tell him to cum over here I need to level up.

I liked this to help you in your quest to achieve Mall Crawler status.

 

[Jay]

I decided to add a small little feature to add some flavor to the site and hopefully promote quality content.

There will be a rank under your name/avatar that changes according to how many “likes” you have. This is how it works:

0 - Lurker
1 - Bronze
50 - Silver
100 - Gold
250 - Platinum
500 - Diamond
1,000 - Onyx
2,500 - Grand Master
5,000 - (secret!)
10,000 - (secret!)

I personally don’t think the names are very creative, so if you guys have cooler ideas post them up. Or if the majority thinks that system is stupid let me know and I’ll get rid of it.

And all I needed to do to go from Lurker to Bronze was post a picture of my Chihuahua.

 

[Tyler]

I just leveled up from Onyx to Grand Master but I'm still not sure how I feel about it being called Grand Master. I really want to think of something cooler, cause I actually love the sound of Onyx, but I can't really think of anything.

 

[Rob Daman]

Keep it element style

Adamantium.

Top one should be Unobtainium

[Jesse Rizo]

Can’t wait to see what the 5-10k secret is lok

 

[Flinky]

Don't know how serious people want to be about these titles but there's always some fun ones. Or geeky ones lol.

 

[hallux]

Too bad the names weren't Taco related!
