PBEM Ranks are ways for your PBEM SFB Organization to reward good play, moderating, or other contributions to the PBEM SFB cause. Presently the three main PBEM SFB Organizations, (BattleForce CompuServe, ADB’s PBEM Website, and Star Fleet Arena), use similar PBEM Ranking systems. However, these systems are separate, and may differ slightly.
    If your PBEM SFB Organization uses a Player Ranking system, it may use something similar to these, or it may use something completely different. This will be described by the particular PBEM SFB Organization you’re involved with.
    Note that PBEM Ranks are in no way equivalent to ADB’s rank system, but are useful only in on-line situations. To gain ABD ranks, you still must write terms papers or articles, work on the SFB staff, or, of course, win the annual Fleet Captain’s Tournament.
