I've been brainstorming ideas, mostly trying to give us all something to shoot for, and I thought about the trading sites I was a part of and what I liked and what I didn't, and then I remember something I liked a lot: A rank/title system based on feeback ratings.
I know we alrady have the forum post rank system and the 'circles/levels' systems, but how about an addition system that gives at least a lil bit of reward for just being a good trader? It doesn't have to be something really complicated, just a small series of ranks (in this case, Space Marine ranks/titles). It might even help traffic; for example, somebody adds "Veteran Sergeant of RM" to their signature for their emails or posts on other forums, then a potential recruit sees this and checks the site out. Or somebody drops "I'm shooting for making RM Captain" in chat abot trading and our potential recruit starts asking questions.
And it could be a an incentive for more active recruiting by members, since the more traders we get, the more trades one could potentially do, and therefore the higher numbers and ranks could be more accessible. It would definitely give people a little more reason to trade, which is the reason this site exists to begin with (at least in my mind).
All this would have a very good chance of boosting site traffic overall, giving us a crack at more and bigger sponsors and giving RM a chance to become more self-sustaining.
