Hi @TeroRe. One of your questions in your original post was whether the rank names should follow a hierarchy. You will notice that the examples provided generally do that. Sometimes the distinction between two adjoining ranks is hard to determine, but, in general, you can tell the difference. And we have always recommended that as a best practice. We believe it serves as motivation to users as they see their own rank name change over time with increasing contributions, as well as communicates to other users something about the user who has posted a recommended solution to an issue. Additionally, we would recommend not having a top or ultimate rank, as we always want to encourage users to contribute more. Finally, if you roughly divide your rank structure into thirds, the bottom third should be for initial participation like log ins, and views, the center for more valued contributions such as posts, and the top for quality as measured by kudos and accepted solutions. The bottom third should allow for relatively quick movement so returning users experience change relatively quickly and easily.
Hope those suggestions help. I think the other shared examples are great.
