The ability to delete your own threads becomes available at this rank.
Sage: Members who receive one of six ranks of Sage have been recognized for providing outstanding contributions to the community, in addition to fulfilling one of the six separate requirements explained below. All Sages can post in a special Sages-Only board, along with being granted access to several other hidden boards. Sages also have the ability to lock/unlock their own topics, as well as having a slightly larger PM box. Anyone that earns any of the six Sage ranks can also lose it before the month ends if they break the rules severely enough, and may need to wait an additional month before being eligible to receive the rank again. Only one Sage rank will be permanent - the others will last for only a month. Members cannot win the rank twice in a row - they must lose the rank and may gain it again one month after losing it. If they get it in September and aren't selected to have the rank permanently, they'll be eligible to receive the rank again in November. Please note that obtaining one of the six Sage ranks below is not a requirement to become a moderator.
Sage of Light - You must be an active, positive member of the community, and be picked by the Administrators.
Sage of Forest - You must be an active, positive member of the community, and be picked by the Knights of Hyrule & Local Knights.
Sage of Fire - You must be an active, positive member of the community, and be picked by the entire forum staff.
Sage of Water - You must be an active, positive member of the community, and be picked by the other existing Sages.
Sage of Shadow - You must be an active, positive member of the community, and be chosen based on a selected review or post.
Sage of Spirit - You must be an active, positive member of the community. The method for being chosen for this rank changes every period.
NSider2 Forum Staff Ranks
Tech Admin - Users with this rank have the most power, and can change virtually any aspect of NSider2 if they see fit. However, their focus is on technical issues with the forum, such as the advertisements, rather than administrating it. Currently, two people have this rank, and unfortunately, the means of acquiring it are unknown.
Administrator - Administrators are the people in charge of NSider2. They pick new staff members, create and retire boards, hand out and remove special ranks, and perform several other administrative tasks.
Moderator - Moderator is a combined rank of sorts between Knight and Admin, though their admin abilities are limited.
Knights of Hyrule - To achieve the rank of Knights of Hyrule, you must be hand-picked by an administrator. KoH have all of the powers that Local Knights do, but their powers aren't limited to one specific board. They can lock, delete, edit, move posts/threads, 'float' threads, freely change a user's sig, and can hand out warnings as a method of banning users.
Local Knight - To become a Local Knight, you must be hand-picked by an administrator. Local Knights can lock threads started by other people, edit posts by other people, and float threads. Those abilities, however, are assigned to a particular section of NSider2. Therefore, their powers will only work on the board(s) they are assigned to. Based on the user/board they're assigned to will also determine whether they have the ability to also use the warn system, as Knights and Admins are capable of doing.
NSiderNews Writer - A user who writes articles for NSider News.
NS2 Graphic Artist - A user who designs graphics mainly for the Market.
Contest Assistant - Given to the 10 users selected by the Contest Manager and the staff. They are responsible for providing assistance not only to the planning and development of future contests, but the management of existing ones. They can lose the rank if the staff feels they don't deserve it, or if they step down on their own free will (another user will be selected through a TBA-method). Providing Mods/Admins with a list of those that need special ranks for winning any contest is a definite bonus, but not required.
