[Applied] Changing the names of our ranks

[nesquik]

I completely agree with this. Honestly, I just don't want to go from saying the BD's to the D's.

Like yo wassup man, ya herd 'bout the new D promotion yo?

 

yeah just got another 3 more inches let’s gooooo

 

that would be so lit let’s go with D fuck it

I think there are a few ranks that are a bit vague.

 

Mapper seems a bit specific since there's more to it, but if that's the majority of what is done in that role then that's alright by me.

 

Designer seems a bit strange to me, especially since Media seemed like a good name. Designer just seems like an odd role in that I can't really determine what they do based off the name. Obviously they design stuff such as banners for events, but I don't think I would know that just from the name. If, like in the case of Mapper, that is the majority of what they do then that would make sense, but I'd imagine there's more to it than banners.

 

Coordinator is also rather strange. It doesn't really say what they coordinate whether it be meetings, servers, events, forum stuff, etc. Those of us that aren't new know that it's an events rank but the title doesn't really convey that (Possibly Events Coordinator?).

Really appreciate all the feedback so far guys, it's gonna be really helpful. I encourage everyone to continue posting and building off of each other. I'm going to respond to some more of this stuff tomorrow, as I already have a few thoughts on some of these.

I personally am fine with all the changes except for these:

 

Events Manager -> Lead Coordinator

Events Team -> Event Coordinator

 

Media Manager -> Lead Designer

Media Team -> Designers

 

Modding Manager -> Lead Mapper

Modding Team -> Mapper

 

I really don't think these teams need much changing because their names really suit their roles well. This could just be me liking some things to indefinitely stay the same because I sometimes don't see small changes like these necessary at times. I really don't believe the Events Team or Media Team need any changes to their names at all, as I think they're pretty perfect as is. If there were to be a change to the modding team, I personally think it should just be changed to Modder and Lead Modder. I just don't feel like "Event Coordinator" has the same flow as "Events Team" even if it meant it would stick out. I'm also pretty indifferent towards the whole "Director" and "Board of Directors" thing because I think that while "Director" does sound nice on an individual level, it would still be better to reference the group of Directors as the "Board of Directors".

Kind of like this, hopefully you guys will add a few of these into the name change.

[Caution]

Going to make a new reply with my thoughts after reading the post after mine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A big part of my thoughts are just making sure the actual team names stay intact, and that these are mostly just name changes for the individual team members.

 

I pretty much agree with everything posted here except IA. I personally think ‘Investigator’ would be better). Makes more sense as it holds a real-world connection to what people in IA are actually called.

Ok now I know I already posted my opinion on what I thought was wrong but I’d also like to put it all together and adjust here:

 

President -> President

Vice President -> Vice President

Board of Directors -> Board of Directors

 

Internal Affairs -> Investigator

 

Administrative Manager -> Lead Manager

Administrative Team - Server Manager

 

Technical Manager -> Technical Manager

Technical Team -> Technical Administrator

Junior Technical Administrator -> Junior Technical Administrator

 

Events Manager -> Events Manager

Events Team -> Event Coordinator

 

Media Manager -> Lead Designer

Media Team -> Designers

 

Modding Manager -> Lead Modder

Modding Team -> Modder

 

Lead Advisor -> Lead Advisor

Community Advisor -> Community Advisor

 

Senior Administrator -> Senior Administrator

Server Administrator -> Administrator *The members list currently says Administrator but the role under someone’s name says Server Administrator*

Legends -> Legend

[matt]

Just an idea and it doesn’t bug me one bit but the legends tag is “Legends” but im a single person. Maybe the tag should just be Legend. Its like putting the tag senior administrators but its actually server administrator.

 

Regardless doest bother me in the slightest but just a thought.

 

Also AO is way better than administrative team or server manager but im biased.

[Noxstar]

President -> President

Vice President -> Vice President

Board of Directors -> Board of Directors

 

Internal Affairs -> Investigator

 

Administrative Manager -> Lead Server Manager

Administrative Team - Server Manager

 

Technical Manager -> Technical Manager

Technical Team -> Technical Administrator

Junior Technical Administrator -> Junior Technical Administrator

 

Events Manager -> Events Manager

Events Team -> Events Coordinator

 

Media Manager -> Media Manager

Media Team -> Media Team Member

 

Modding Manager -> Modding Manager

Modding Team -> Modder or Mapper

 

Lead Advisor -> Lead Advisor

Community Advisor -> Community Advisor

 

Senior Administrator -> Senior Administrator

Administrator -> Administrator

Legends -> Legend

 

This is rougly what I would like. Still not sure about the division teams like ModT, MT, ET, or AT

Literally the only name change that I think would be useful is administrative team to server manager as it would clarify their role. No other change matters enough to me.
