God Hand

Forum administrator and lead developer. No much more to say -- has all the permissions, also is the only rank that allows changing ranks of other users.

Held by : Kornel Kisielewicz

Grand Inquisitor

Known on other forums as "Global Moderator". Currently the activity on the forums doesn't require to appoint additional Global Moderators, but that might change in the future if problems arise. Has permissions to modify/delete/move any post, and also has access to all current and future hidden forums.

Held by : Malek Deneith

Chaoslord

This rank is given extremely rare, to people that I personaly "work" with on my projects, or to people that have had a serious impact on my development life and on chaosforge in general. Chaoslords have granted access to all current and future hidden forums.

Held by : Derek, Rimmon, thelaptop, Gargulec

Chaosknight

This is a rank for people who have made a significant contribution to the Chaosforge games/community. In the future "Help Wanted" announcements will be made, where I will post things that you people could help me with, and in exchange be granted this rank. Chaosknights have granted access to the beta forums and Tavern and Temple of Chaos (where the design/development of unnanounced/secret projects takes place).

Held by : Blade, you, Simon-v, yaflhdztioxo, Game Hunter, tehtmi

Old Chaos Guard

Not active anymore members of ChaosForge that have still made great contributions in the past. The Old Chaos Guard has granted access to all current and future hidden forums.

Supporter

This is a special rank awarded to those that donate to any of chaosforge's games. It is granted for at least two months per donation, on special occassions for longer (like donating a lot, or being the first). Allows access to most current and future hidden forums (including the DoomRL Beta Tests forum and Tavern of Chaos!). In the future it will probably have additional benefits. You can donate here on the forum.

Supporter of Chaos

Special rank awarded to long time recurring supporters. Allows access to most of the hidden stuff, including the Temple of Chaos (where currently the GRAPHICAL DoomRL ALPHA is being tested. Feel free to PM me on how close you are :).

Update : Added the Chaosknight rank.

The Buttery Lobster · « **Reply #2 on:** March 08, 2007, 19:26 »

Not to be nitpicky, and it doesn't really apply to me, seeing as I haven't donated, but can't you change "Supporter" to something more cool sounding? It seems so... blase. Surely the supporters agree with me?

BDR · « **Reply #3 on:** March 08, 2007, 20:04 »

Supporter is fine by me as it's completely accurate; I'm a supporter of Kornel and his work.

Unless you have a better idea....?

Baphomet · « **Reply #4 on:** April 14, 2007, 02:55 »

Ok, "Supporter" really sounds a bit like a "hotline employee", someone with the mission to help others in here.
"Donator" would be more appropriate.

Drox · « **Reply #5 on:** April 14, 2007, 10:38 »

Change "Supporter" to "Supplicant". It better fits the theme of the other names. :)

DaEezT · « **Reply #6 on:** April 14, 2007, 11:34 »

Supporter is fine :E

TFoN · « **Reply #7 on:** April 30, 2007, 07:42 »

Well, I think technically many of us are "supporters", considering maintenance of the wikis, testing, ideas, plain cheering Kornel on, etc. "Donators", however, we are not.

Potman · « **Reply #8 on:** May 02, 2007, 01:43 »

What about these post thingys? Like, when do I, for instance, become an Imp?

TFoN · « **Reply #9 on:** May 02, 2007, 06:53 »

Keep posting and you'll find out :)
You can also check the Souls list by number of posts and approximate accordingly.
I think it's:
50 - Imp
100 - Demon
200 - Cacodemon
400 - Hell Knight
Kornel's the only Cyberdemon, having over 1200 posts, and I'm guessing he's been one since post 800.

Rola · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2008, 07:45 »

;) How about "Blood Donor" instead of Supporter? ;) It fits all this "hell, chaos, evil, carnage" Doom theme and "donor" implies donating something.

Kornel - can we have an updated version of this for the new ranks?

How does one acquire the Supporter of Chaos rank?

UnderAPaleGreySky · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2011, 18:04 »

Through donating a LOT to the Forge, I believe.

Tavana · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2011, 18:47 »

There are other ways. Basically stick around and make yourself useful and you might get lucky.

Kornel Kisielewicz · « **Reply #20 on:** January 25, 2011, 09:20 »

Update : Chaosknights and Local Inquisitors.

Yeah, I need to add in the other ranks here and expand the topic a little :/

DiabloRL board is ignored T_T
DiabloRL is not a roguelike. List of roguelikes 2010 as the proof.

Kornel Kisielewicz · « **Reply #22 on:** March 24, 2011, 11:00 »

Updated the list, more updates will follow!

Kornel Kisielewicz · « **Reply #23 on:** June 20, 2011, 02:06 »

PROMOTION : due to constant support, and help with ChaosForge in general (and the upcoming server in particular), thelaptop gets promoted to Chaoslord rank. Congratulations :)

Simon-v · « **Reply #24 on:** July 08, 2011, 11:09 »

Currently the distinction between Chaosknights and Chaosites is not, well, distinct enough. Since the former is more privileged than the latter, i propose that the Chaosites get a lighter, paler nick color.

* user was beaten up for this post

Kornel Kisielewicz · « **Reply #25 on:** July 26, 2011, 18:32 »

@Simon-v - done.

PROMOTION : due to constant support, and help with ChaosForge in general (and public relations and motivation in particular), High Chaosforge Priest Gargulec gets promoted to Chaoslord rank. Congratulations :)

PROMOTION : due to massive input in DoomRL's soundtracks Simon-v gets promoted to Chaosknight!

PROMOTION : due to help with the DoomRL Wiki and modding input yaflhdztioxo (more commonly known as add1/add on IRC) gets promoted to Chaosknight!

BTW, the Team page works now :)

Greetings,

Can I propose 'Maecenas' instead of supporter ?
From the senator Gaius Maecenas, a generous benefactor; specifically, a patron of art or literature.

People might even get curious and learn something :P

I was going to request the list at the beginning of this topic be updated to reflect the new system(I know the Team tab has some of these, but not all), but you guys are probably busy doing important things like making Jupiter Hell work, so I went and figured it out myself. Here it is as close as I can tell:

Basic Forum User Ranks
[No Image] [No Title] Basic user - possibly unverified forum accounts?
[No Image] [No Title] Basic user - All of these have a significantly higher post count. Presumably verified accounts.

Kickstarter Conributor Ranks

Backer Kickstarter backer

Supporter Kickstarter backer - Beta Access

Alpha Supporter Kickstarter backer - Alpha Access

Supporter of Chaos Kickstarter backer - Inner Circle Access

Pre-kickstarter Contributor Ranks

Elder Formerly known as Supporter

Greater Elder Formerly known as Supporter of Chaos

Elder Chaos Guard Formerly known as Old Chaos Guard

Forum Moderator Ranks

Inquisitor Held by moderators of individual boards, and displayed only on those boards - overridden by other applicable forum ranks outside of those boards

Grand Inquisitor Global Moderator - currently held by thelaptop, LuckyDee, Malek Deneith

Special Project Beta Ranks
[No Image] AliensRL Beta Tester Held by a handful of players involved in the AliensRL project.

Developer Ranks

Devteam The Jupiter Hell Devteam - included Darren Grey, pici, Rimmon, Roland LaGoy, and slizgi

Godhand The unique rank held by Kornel Kisielewicz

Please feel free to post corrections or additions if you see or are aware of anything I've missed.

Thanks.

Kornel Kisielewicz · « **Reply #33 on:** January 20, 2017, 09:06 »

Great work, I'll update the top post with your list later if you don't mind!

Inquisitor only shows up on boards where the person is an inquisitor/moderator - e.g yaflhdztioxo is a Local Inquisitor of the Mods subforum, so he is marked as such in his posts there, but a regular Elder Chaos Guard in all other subforums.

Sereg · « **Reply #34 on:** January 20, 2017, 21:08 »

Yeah, feel free to use that and the previous post if you like. You're welcome to appropriate anything I submit here - all the more so if it turns out to be useful, lol.

Thanks for the clarification on Inquisitor - I wasn't sure it still existed, but then I'm not very active on most of the subforums here. I'll go ahead and change the description.
