Numbers don't go very far (such as number of posts or infractions). We look for activity, a good mood and experience / history in moderation. We also consider if the candidate is polylingual or can only speak one language.

I also noticed that almost all Smods have a join date of 2008 or before? Does the join date affect anything?

Just means you've been around longer and have likely developed a reputation.

I have a question, Is God Belt the highest belt you can have?

How to create clan ?

Nope, highest is Elite belt.

Why do the win percentages make no sense now?

Also, will the rankings ever be able to reflect skill? For example, gmon had a sophisticated ranking system for judo that incorporated damage done, decaps, dismemberments, relative rank of opponent, and probably other factors as well, on an individual match level. However, he couldn't record every match that occurred since he is one person, but it seems like the system itself has the capacity to do this. As it is now, ranks simply represent matches played, which is somewhat worthless, since belts already do that on a lower resolution scale.

You answered your own question, they don't make sense to you because it is just matches played. Post the idea in suggestions for opinions on a more sophisticated ranking system.


Step 1: Start a clan discussion thread here, listing why you made the clan, who is in the clan, your clan's aim, your clan's rules, your clan's requirements to join, and anything else you feel is appropriate.



Step 2: Find a good clan tag (A tag is [this thing]Yournamehere). Keep it short and sweet, not like [BloodKillingPeopleBrigade Co-Leader Now recruiting]TayZonday. (yes TayZonday we love choclate rain).



Step 3: Find some members (active players with a good personality are recommended).

Banners also add feel to the clan and can attract members.

Thanks for the reply.

What I meant was that a few months ago or so, my win % was expressed as number x, as in x wins per 1 loss, something like 1.7. Now my number is 63. I thought it was a bug, as know I don't get 63 wins for every loss, but it's probably just actually showing my win % instead of the ratio it used to show. That's the difference I was asking about.

Regarding ranks, I'll add it to suggestions.

I think they changed it to ELO.
