Community:Zelda Dungeon User Group Rankings

Hylian Knight
Hylian Knight is a ranking that members can achieve at the Zelda Dungeon forum. It signifies that these members are role models for newly registered members, and people that can be looked up to. Users are designated Hylian Knights by their purple user color on the Zelda Dungeon Forums. However, once one is a Hylian Knight, they are expected to behave like one. This means that rule breaking or not obeying Hylian Knight duties may mean they can lose their rank. Hylian Knights have duties, which is why failure to obey them can have one's rank removed. Along the same lines as this, being good just to get the purple Hylian Knight color and then not obeying any duties will have it likely removed as well.

Duties and Privileges
Hylian Knights are not members of the Zelda Dungeon Forum staff, but they do play their part in trying to help improve the overall quality of the forum. Below is a list of duties and privileges that are involved with having a Hylian Knight Ranking.


 * Role Models - Newer or younger members of the forum can look up to Hylian Knights for advice on the ways of the forum.
 * Activity - There is no clear definition of what is considered active, but Hylian Knights are usually members who come by the forums a few times a week.
 * Rules - Hylian Knights are those that have a firm understanding of the rules and rarely ever break them.
 * Private Forum - Hylian Knights are members that have access to their own private forum which is not moderated.
 * Promotions - When the site is in need of new Mods, the forum staff looks specifically at Hylian Knights.
 * Inbox - The Hylian knights can store 150 messages, unlike the 50 everyone else can.

Currently Zelda Dungeon has 32 Hylian Knights but this number can be deceiving. All Moderators, Super Moderators, Administrators, and Webmasters are also considered to be Hylian Knights, but because of their higher ranking, they are not on this listing.

Previous Hylian Knights
While Zelda Dungeon is in its 3rd generation of forum communities, the Hylian Hero ranking was created within the 2nd generation. There were numerous Hylian Heroes at this time, of which only a select few went on to become Hylian Heroes at the 3rd generation of forums. Also, upon the launch of the 3rd generation of forums, most members that came from the old 2nd generation forums had automatically been given Hylian Hero, which at the time changed the significance. All this has made it a bit difficult to list who were all the previous Hylian Heroes, since some were removed during the 2nd generation forums, some never joined the 3rd generation forums, and some 3rd generation forum Hylian Heroes were since removed months ago.

Hylian Noble
Hylian Nobles serve as the Hall of Fame members of the community. The criteria to become a Hylian Noble is very strict, and it is quite rare for a member to become a Noble. This ranking is often times reserved for members who have made long-standing contributions to the forum as a member, and in some cases as a forum staff member. While Nobles are not perfect members, they are held at the highest regard and are expected to hold strong the integrity of the forum. Once a member becomes a Noble, there is no strict activity requirements to remain a Noble. Rather, Noble requirements are usually lifetime appointments, with the only exceptions being if they completely leave the community for a very extended period of time, or if an action is made that is outside the character of what a Noble is defined as.

ZeldaWiki
Zelda Wiki is a usergroup at the Zelda Dungeon Forums. The group lists members who are a part of the Zelda Dungeon community and are also active in helping out the Zelda Wiki. These members are distinguished by their light blue user color on the Zelda Dungeon Forums. Something close to this color was used before to distinguish Staffers, which have now changed to a much darker color. However, if a user has a ranking of Hylian Hero or higher, they are instead signified by that respective color, and above their rank, the next lowest rank will appear. Zelda Wiki members are also given the ability to post in the Zelda Wiki Forum at Zelda Dungeon.
