Ok... My suggestion is pretty simple and reasonable...
There are 2 parts...

My first suggestion is:
Since the custom elements thing is really a patent... I suggest that it be open to anybody to patent custom elements... maybe at Kage rank...

but then they can not USE the element they have patented until they meet the _____ posts requirement...

this will make it so that people dont spam all the way up to ______ posts only to be declined and have all their work be meaningless. And so that people who come up with an idea before other people arent disappointed when someone else makes it first just because of a higher post count because they spammed more.

(the way patents work in real life is that anybody can patent an idea and not even be close to having that idea put into development or production so if somebody else along the line comes up with that idea it is already protected and patented by you...)


I also think that 10,000 is arbitrarily high...
so my second suggestion is that this number be reverted back to the old 7,000 post requirement...
This is Legendary Ninja rank... and is much more reasonable...
there are only a small handful of people with 10,000 posts so it kind of breaks the system a little...

as it is i can see myself getting 7,000 in a few months but 10,000 doesnt even make me want to try... lol
it will only fuel a ridiculous amount of spam...

I, for one, have no interest in spamming my way up that high but i have awesome custom ideas and I dont want them taken before i get to _____ posts.

For your first suggestion I think that it should be 7000 posts to post your idea and get the certificate and then wait until 10,000 to use it.

Somehow, the idea of having any member of Nb being able to post his own custom element with like 1000 posts seems dangerous. Since you have no guarantee that they will even stay in the site long enough to actually use them in the future.

So that certificate stays associated to that person who left and the idea dies, making it unable to be used by any other member who had thought of it.

But your idea seems good, just needs to be sharpened so it can be put in practice.

Good job.

lol funny you say that... i thought the same thing when i was writing it...
maybe like 3100 (sannin) or 5200(kage) to patent it... but i didnt want to put that in because people might think i was only trying to do this for myself... which im not....

so... really i think kage rank to patent and then 7-8,000 to use....

Great minds think alike.

Well I guess this negotiation should be done with the mods but the Kage rank to be able to submit and get the certificate seems more plausible to me. Not Sannin that's too early to have something a big as your own custom element.

well .... ....

i do agree that 10000 is too much, and that jounin and S class is too early, but Sannin should be better...

and do you get your 5th at Kage ?
NO, you get it at 7000.
So thats not a valid reason.
see ?
Element Usage:

Genin- At Genin Rank you are allowed to choose your first element and after choosing you cannot change it.

Chunin- At Chunin Rank you are allowed to choose your second element and after choosing you cannot change it.

Jounin- At Jounin Rank you are allowed to choose your third element and after choosing it you cannot change it. You are also allowed to use a Kekkei Genkai element if you have one. (Hyouton, Mokuton, etc.) You must have been a member for one month.

Sannin- At Sannin Rank you are allowed to choose your fourth element. You must jave been a member for two months. (Rin'negan Users are able to use all five elements at this rank. They obtain there remaining two elements at this point.)

Legendary Ninja- At Legendary Ninja Rank you are allowed to obtain your fifth and final element. You must have been a member for three months.

It should be at Legendary Ninja rank then.

Sannin level is just too early to submit a custom element.
