Here are some of TNZ's ranks. I would like to thank Yoshi for making the pips. Feel free to put them in your sigs if you want, but do not steal them for your forum, as that is a violation of InvisionFree's TOS and we will report you when we find out.

Special Ranks

-Staff Ranks-

Posted Image Admin
To be an admin, you must have been an exceptional Moderator, very helpful to the community, and hand-picked by an admin then approved by the other two. You must also be willing to change your password frequently. Admins can moderate everywhere on the forum and access the Admin CP, which means they can change your name, edit your rank, distribute gold, and do just about anything. They also get to help out with TNZ's (upcoming) website. :o
Lasts: Forever rxcept in case of Retiring/Demotion

Posted Image Moderator
Moderators of The Nintendo Zone Forums were chosen because they were excellent LMs and were hand-picked by any of TNZ's admins. They can moderate on all the boards, edit sigs, warn and ban members, etc.
Lasts: Forever except in case of Retiring/Demotion

-Ranks of Honor/Humiliation-

Legendary Member: Legendary Members (LMs) are TNZ'ers have been such great members that they're....well....legendary. They are hand-picked by any of the admins. LMs have all the rank abilities regardless of how many posts they have, and they can access a few secret boards. Once this rank is achieved, it is held forever. If a staff member retires, he/she recieves this rank again.
Lasts: Forever

Posted ImageTNZ Picasso: This is awarded to the Art of the Month winner, chosen by Yoshi each month. Has all the powers of a LM, but only lasts for a month.
Lasts: 1 month

Posted ImageArcade Champ: At the end of every month, an admin will check the arcade high scores. Whoever holds the most will recieve this rank! This rank is currently on hiatus, as our arcade is not up.
Lasts: 1 week

Dunce: This rank is for dunces. Dunces have failed at life TNZ membership. The first dunce was Travis Touchdown, and all of his alt accounts. Since then, only a few others have gotten the Dunce rank. The rank of Dunce is only given out by Yoshi as a permanent rank to annoying spammers. Once Dunce'd, there is an extremely slim chance that you will be undunced. Think like wearing a dunce cap in the corner.
Lasts: varied

-Retired Ranks-

Local Mod: These were just like our current-day moderators, except they could only moderate some boards on TNZ. It was retired because, when you think of it, if someone's going to moderate some boards, why not let them moderate them all?
