• User ranking system for Mystic BBS

    I've coded a MPL-based script which checks the user at login to see if they've met a few criteria, and if they have then it gives them a higher rank and a accompanying title, as well as other perks such as access to a few normally hidden chat areas, etc.
    The criteria can be something like the amount of posts, or for how long they've
    been registered to the BBS, etc.

    Now, what I'm wondering is how I should implement this system. I'm using secLVL's to make it work, from secLVL 10 to 100, resulting in about 90 different ranks, and 164 reserved for the system (1-10 & 101-255).

    What would be a good way to name the ranks, since there is space for so many? I was thinking that maybe every jump of +10 would be classified as a tier, meaning that for example rank 35 would classify as a tier 3 rank, with all the ranks in between having their own special titles and perks.

    I plan on starting with making ranks 10-30 and then add more ranks if the users
    seem to like the concept. The reasons I wanted this system is that it fuels user engagement, as they get rewarded for being active, and it also felt like a
    pretty unique and
    fun concept in the BBS world :)
