How does it sound? the mods/admins can also modify this if they want to.

i dont think its that hard, once ur ready for a new rank u just post the assignments that u have done. the mod/admin looks em over and wa-lah u got a new rank.
maybe ur trying to understand this on whole new level char, *sees char gazing deeply into the sun*

Not really looking at it in as a whole new level, but after reading what Ziggy had to say I do see where your coming from a little more clearly. It does sound like a good idea

See right now if someone was going to be promoted to Consular, a Master would suggest them and if several others (I think 3) agreed then there'd be a promotion. This would kind of happen behind the scenes, so if for whatever reason some people didn't think the member was ready for the promotion then they could say so.
In a point system, people know exactly when they should be promoted. It becomes painfully obvious if they have enough points for one of those last few promotions but nobody wants them to get it, and I think a lot of people would become insulted in that kind of situation. Tiers (from my understanding) aren't really set up so that everyone necessarily reaches Consular or Master. The other issue I see is that it would become all about the assignments, and pretty mechanical because of that. That'd make it harder to promote people because they were hosting lots of events, or making good topics, or just being friendly. Assignments should contribute towards tier promotions, but they're not really the only thing that should.
I guess I'm a bit undecided as to whether it's a good idea or not, currently. There are some pros, but some cons too. The system doesn't really seem to be working as it should so far, there's been a number of assignments (which is good), but not a lot of promotions happening.

As far as there not being many promotions, I recall Cspace warning us not to promote very often because that would lessen the value of it. At least, that's why I haven't given any. I can't speak for everyone.

u could always add like 20 more points to each tier ranking, anyways plz "tweak" it as much as ya like. I provide the ideas, you guys create the product.

I haven't really talked to Cspace about it, but my thoughts are that while bunching the promotions together too much would devalue the system, the opposite is true too. If tier promotions aren't really given out much at all, then the system isn't in use and people stop caring about the promotions at all. It's a balancing act, trying to avoid tiers becoming meaningless in either direction. Maybe I'm way off the mark with this though, I don't know.

However, it's still a good idea, just not something I'd recommend as an official thing. If members would like to use a point system to determine who they promote for each interval, or even if a few members get together to do the same thing, then that's fine.
The interval was chosen so, even if members promote right away after the time passes, the Tiers won't break. It's up to the members why they give promotions, so this could easily be organized by the members within the current system.

hmmm quite true, i guess it gots both pro's and con's to it. What you say Cspace is long term, and thats better than just a quick stimulation, so i guess we can just drop this idea for now,
