OK, since this seems to be an issue, I'll make this clear...

Article tiers ≠ User tiers. This wouldn't exist to say that (for example) Cal is better than Total, it would simply be saying that the Prophetic Forgiven are better than the Knights of Infinity.

It's also very possible for someone to have like 8 Bronze articles and 1 Platinum article.

A user would only have their article ranked if they expressly asked for it to be ranked. Even then, they can choose not to have the article placed within the tier. So if someone is writing something that is Bronze material but they REALLY want it to be Silver/Gold/Platinum/Diamond, all they have to do is have it reviewed, see the results, and then make changes to get it into that tier.

Honestly, I think everyone likes having their better pieces of work acknowledged. That's what this system is for. Not for discrimination.

@Lither - On the subject of article quality, I think we can both agree that The Wildcats are of lower quality than Ezekiel Cornatus or Gold Legion. Additionally, the lower 3 tiers mostly deal with facts than opinions. Punctuation, spelling, grammar, templates, continuity, and canon-friendliness are kind of hard to dispute.

For Platinum and Diamond tiers, we could have 2 admins review the article, maybe even 3 for Diamond.
