The ranks are a part of the game. Maybe they aren't a part of the original intended game play, but they are a part of it and just because someone like the game does not mean they don't like the ranks. The ranks are an added bonus and if people feel they need to change and have the ability to do so than more power to ya. However, people are always cycling through, so if we change the rank system to fit the people playing now, sometime down the road new people are going to want it changed again.

Enjoying ranks is important, it would give the person who has a rank a feeling of responsibility. Which is important for life skills. On the other hand ranks get in the way of what the game was suppose to be, but on a multiplayer part of the game, you have to have some sort of system where a person can be monitoring the server to make sure people are following the rules set by that admins.
Having too much ranks can be very very confusing (like 4 entire ranks, are you crazy?). People would be much too confused, it is easier to start them all off with perhaps two more ranks. It would be a lot more simple that way. Specially for the people who can not even read the sign that tells them to type /rules.
If any ranks were to be added, I would say one or two different ranks. Just to level out the 1000 or w/e cools there are. I guess what is most important is just trying to promote people in different time zones in general. Aramat and I live in california, to level that out we would need some awesomes/engineers on the east coast. To go even further, in europe, then asia. We already have people in aussi. This would somewhat fix the problem we have, but it is not a solution.
On OP, we do need to keep it fresh for the people who have been here, however it is new for new people. They are filled with awesome builds on the server and are excited to build (or grief the buildings). There, if anything, could be a rank between cool and builder. Or even guest and cool.
Does this just about cover everything?

This is true, that why I believe if a rank should be added is to even out some numbers. Not to please people who can still be a higher rank with time.

No In Game Ranks.... Forum Ranks would be better... it would encourage people to play OTHER games than minecraft and hopefully increase forum activity :3

Btw Bots Are Like Disabled On The Server Right? Because some of the stuff a bot could do in 5 minutes is pretty disturbing.....

I disagree with a lot of things you've said, but perhaps this is because I view ranks differently than you do. I look at ranks not so much as a way for you to measure your e-peen against everyone else. I think that the point of the rank system is really in existence to protect the server not let you beat minecraft.

As for bots: If a user starts editing blocks too fast they get autokicked. I believe that is our primary bot protection.
I originally brought this discussion up newspaper, to address the fact that there was a very odd ratio between the ranks. Obviously with Briggs commenting he has pointed out a few good things as have I. This idea is no way shape or form to promote anything other than a better system than what is in place. But mostly everyone can agree to that some ranks are needed (at least two).
While the idea of forum ranks is a good idea, I do believe that suggestion should be in another forum post entirely.

No, I really don't agree that we need more ranks. I'm not really sure why this matters so much to you. The reason we have the number of ranks we have right now is because there is a hierarchy of responsibility and privledge that goes with them. They're not just pretty colors that your name is in the chat. Cool people gain access to the cool worlds. Builders have access to zones, and can tp to people. Engineers can kick people, awesomes can ban, and pros can pro-mote. At present I don't really see where you would even fit another rank into the system. All you would really be doing is cluttering up the promotion application forum even more (Have you seen how many promotions get posted in a day?)

I guess that's my issue. It's all about pretty colors and e-peen's.
