Hello fellow Brick-HIllians and welcome to this thread. I'm here to give users a quick introduction on ranking and how the rank features for the clans work. In this guide, you'll learn how to create ranks, and how the "Power" system works and what type of permissions you can grant these ranks. You will also learn how to promote and demote users in your clan.


how to create and manage ranks

You can create new ranks by going to your clan's admin panel and going to the edit tab. The higher a number there is in the "power" section, the higher they are on the list.

For instance, my clan has "dead lemon" as it's highest because I'm the owner, and "tendies slayers" at the second highest because those are the people who have the second to most power in my clan. the lower down the list, the less of a power level they have.
Does this mean their power levels limit what they can do? No, of course not!
As you can see in my image, the rank "lowpostie" is higher than "noob", yet has no permissions. This can be useful for creating special ranks. I use the lowpostie rank as a way to banish users who are bad, basically restricting them of any actions in my clan without actually kicking them out.

Now, what are these "special permissions?" If you're on a PC, you can check what each rank can do by hovering your cursor out the box that falls under the shaded circles at the top of the grid.

here's a reference sheet to look at while i list off what each number's represented column means in the image below:

1. Lets users post to the wall
2. Lets users moderate the wall
3. Lets users invite/reject users
4. Lets users ally/enemy other clans
5. Lets users rank other clan members
6. Lets users add/delete ranks
7. Lets users edit the clan's description
8. Lets users use the shoutout box
9. Lets users add funds to the clan
10. Lets users take funds from the clan
11. Lets users edit the clan

you can use these to give various privileges to members.

ranking users up
Ranking users up is a great way to separate power between users with different amounts of trust. The more ranks you've got, the easier it is to get specific on which user should get what.

As to how you rank people up, you go under the "Members & Relations" tab and find the rank the person you'd like to (pro/de)mote is currently in. Take this image for example:

I'd like to rank transmit up from his current position of "bed wetters" (our fourth highest rank) to "rat pee" (our third highest rank).
I would do this by clicking the drop-down box under his avatar that displays his current rank and clicking the rank i want to promote/demote him to. In this case I'm promoting him, so I'll click rat pee to change his position

no, but i decided to make a thread discussing the feature, as it's an unknown and quite confusing clan feature.

think of it as a follow-up to my original thread that explained an obscure clan feature:

it has been there since 2017. it's just that hardly anybody really uses a clan properly as most fail.


earf mafia, for example wouldnt need much of this as you cant add funds, sell items (there used to be a clan store and funds in 2017-18 but you couldnt add clothes, nor funds to your clan making them useless)

so moderative powers wouldnt be useful for your clan unless brick hill added back a clan store and other features like a shoutout box, a clan wall, etc.

i just decided to add them in the event that they were added back, this guide wouldnt instantly become outdated xd

I really hope BH decides to fix up the clans page.
