I believe people who contributed on Ragezone specifically on server files should be rewarded with a custom title or anything that acknowledges them for their huge contribution over the forum or generally the community of the specific game category.
Although some are just doing it as a hobby, but I still think people like them deserves more than just being a member here.
Please I hope this gets under deliberation.
Thank you.
Most likely, everyone, even if they want to or not, can agree on fact that some % of the so called releases comes in here from people who, somehow, got into the teams and then just "made backups on their pc" of the files and got into argument with the team and that's how it got into ragezone. Thanks
no deletion policy.
Then another percentage of existing stuff is so badly outdated that it's not even funny anymore, people use it as a base, fix it for themselves and that's about it.
Some others just post some old stuff that doesn't work with any new versions and just a small amount of people post an updated & full releases here.
That's the situation today.
From my perspective, giving everyone a unique title just coz that person was kind enough to upload some outdated stuff is not a good idea at all.
Not sure how you can become developer in here, but I guess if you do sufficient work, give sufficient materials to the community, keep it up to date and interact with existing developers, or they notice you, I have a good feeling, that person would be invited to the group, no other way around. (If it doesn't work like that, sorry, but developer group suck balls then, or simply some developer could come in and give some heads up for people to clarify that it's not some private BFFs group.)
In any case, why everyone forgets that there is an existing 2 places clearly visible on your profile, if community appreciates the work and help that has been given to them:

I know it might not be the most accurate, but it's still better than any other alternative so far, unless you want ragezone to become one of these anime forums with 50 titles under your name, 100 badges and some flaming dragon walking on your picture, with a bunch of fairies.
Plus, buying a subscription doesn't cost hundreds of euros and you know that you support a forum that everyone gets their stuff from.
So that's my opinion on this.
