Lief Great question! To start, this really deals with how you can leverage the feature today to create "variations" to a straightforward rank ladder.
Some communities might want employees / partners to have a special icon // rank display and go through the same ranking structure as end users to maintain conformity. You could create rank ladder fragments associated with roles so users could in effect level up through "Superman" themed ranks or they could go through a "Batman" themed ranks.
Food for thought: Since you can use roles and user entity custom fields in ranking requirements, you can make the ranking structure as complex as you want. The only real limitation (outside of supported metrics) to deal with is that the ordering of ranks matters as ranks requirements are assessed from the top to the bottom of the ladder when a user signs in.
No matter how complex your structure is, if a user meets the requirements for a rank above in the ladder, they will achieve that rank. We won't hold your hand if you want to try to go crazy, but we do recommend that you test the logic of your rank ladder so you don't frustrate any users. 😉
ok - if nobody is gonna hold my hand then i'm happy to stay in my comfy little single rank ladder. 🤣
