History of Ranks[]
The ranks of Bloodshed Empire have evolved several times over the last few years that they are incredibly successful in todays time in achieving their roles. A deep structure that allows for much movement and choice but not too big so as to render other people bored the latest addition surely offers the best of all the previous systems but is also fixed from all the loop holes and other flaws which previous systems has held. The first system was based purely on post count, the higher your post count the more seniority you had (except for moderators and leaders), which of course had many structural flaws because you could have immature spammers spamming their way to the top. Systems after that evolved and evolved and will continue evolving into the future to always remove old flaws and introduce new strengths to help Bloodshed maintain its immortality.
