Now I love the idea of getting grades based off of the work you have accomplished to a certain level without the shortcut of being purchased or anything else. This is an aspect I truly love about this server and keeps wanting me to come back to do bigger and better! Not because of the perks that it may give but due to the grade that shows your worth and ability on the server.
For the amount of time I have been playing now I have realised that quite a few people want to get a grade and get turned down for various reasons. Main one being "Haven't filled the plot". But despite whatever they fill the plot with they are automatically given a D grade eventually after pestering the staff enough etc.
So I was thinking maybe more grades but on the lower part of the spectrum, going from D down to maybe a U depending on how many additional you want to add. Another part of the lower grades is that hopefully they are just automated, so the first few grades are done without staff verification and without staff feeling obliged to give the D rank after a couple of times.
Thanks for reading,

- U - rank:
Now for my first idea this is more to satisfy the looks of the chat. Since people who have grades and people that don't are skewed off, was thinking that people that first join could get a U rank next to their name. The U in schooling terms means "ungraded" which obviously is true since they haven't built anything yet or had anything marked
- F - rank:
The F rank could either be the FAIL rank if you want it to be or could be an extra stage towards getting towards the D rank. But people might complain by having an F next to their name but something else could be used.
But anyways my idea for the next rank is that it is given Automatically when the said player has placed X amount of blocks. Which is whatever number you would think would justify a decent plot being used adequately. This could also be coupled with a time parameter so that people don't just spam around blocks for however to just get the first grade.
- E - rank:
At E I thought it would be a good idea that this would be at the point the new people that have joined can now use /submit to gain the higher grades. This could stop staff from being endlessly given requests for marks and hopefully by this point a plot worth getting a grade.
Now to get this grade I didn't really have a good idea so this could be just a lower grade for people who don't meet the requirements to receive the D rank, or just a greater time played and block placement count.
