Forums Leveling Printable Version

The Leveling System
The GrandTheftMC forums allows for Forums Members to earn ranks on the forums based on how many likes they have received on forums posts or forums profile messages. This ranking system follows the in-game leveling system of Hobo to Godfather. This "Forums Rank" will not affect your in-game rank, and is strictly for a Forums account. The amount of likes required for each rank is as follows:

------------------------------
Hobo - 0
Criminal - 5
Homie - 15
Thug - 30
Gangster - 60
Mugger - 100
Hunter - 160
Dealer - 280
Pimp - 400
Mobster - 560
Godfather - 800
------------------------------

A player can check how many likes their Forums account has by clicking their profile in the top right hand corner of their screen while they are active on the Forums.



A profile page will then appear, allowing you to see your profile ratings. The green number (+0) is the amount of likes that your Forums account has received.



The "Forums Rank" will appear just under the profile picture for the forums account.



Custom Leveling
There are some Forums Members which have their own "custom" level. This is due to the fact that staff members were previously able to change their level to anything they chose. This is no longer possible, yet there are still certain accounts with their "custom" level already created. An example of "custom" leveling can be seen below:



Ratings
Likes can be achieved through other players liking messages you have made on profile posts, or reacting to threads or messages you have sent, that can be seen publicly. Neutral and Negative ratings can only be achieved from reactions to messages on threads or posts. Any message that is not public, cannot receive ratings. For example, one cannot earn likes by starting a conversation, as this cannot be viewed by all Forums Members.

Profile posts will only give players the option to like as a way to react to the message. Negative and Neutral ratings cannot be achieved through these profile posts.



A player can receive all types of ratings when others react to a message or post with certain emoticons. Depending on what emoticon a player reacts to a post with, the owner of that message will gain a positive, neutral, or negative rating.

Each of the following emoticons gives the following rating:

Positive:
:gtmthumbsup: +1
:gtmagree: +1
:gtmhilarious: +1
:litty: +1
:gtmlearnables: +1
:gtmsexy: +1
:gtmhelpful: +1
:gtmartistic: +1
:gtmmemetastic: +1

Neutral:
:gtmdisagree: 1
:gtmretarded: 1

Negative:
:gtmthumbsdown: -1
