I remember you telling in the past you brought it up to theymos in the staff board, any luck yet? And I quite vividly remember discussing the potential benefits that these new ranks could include, that too years ago. Oh well. We can only keep discussing about it.
No. I stopped making suggestions because little seems to be done and I didn't want to annoy theymos with constant requests. There are plenty of threads both public and private with a lot of good suggestions so it's just up to whether theymos implements them or not.

Similar ideas were raised by many people, and afaik theymos commented publicly (~somewhere~) about this and didn't seem particularly enthused.
I created the
Community generated suggestions to improve the forum (+ eventual voting on them) thread a while back:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4893744.0And theymos did post in there somewhere with his opinions on them. Think they were separated into three categories like yes, no, maybe so you can see where he stands on certain things.
- Animated signatures.
Ability to add animated avatars and even images (regardless of size) in signatures was removed so not sure how that would pass.
I don't think images would be a big deal and could be one of the benefits of the highest donator tier. I think they were originally removed along with gifs for being too flashy/distracting or something, but signature designs have evolved over the years and many of them can be pretty flashy so I don't think there would be much difference between images and bbcodes really. I think people found a loophole on the avatars as well as some of them are animated.
