Yup, that's pretty much correct. In fact, the next activity period begins on May 26.

I also added a fourth example to that post:

Person D makes 7 posts in his first activity period, 15 posts in his second activity period, 6 posts in his third activity period, 0 posts in his fourth and fifth activity periods, and 5 posts in his sixth activity period:

He has posted in 4 activity periods (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th). Therefore, his potential maximum activity is 14 x 4 = 56.
He has made 7 + 15 + 6 + 5 = 33 posts. Therefore, his real activity is 33.
His activity could be increased to 56 just by making 23 more posts.

Ok I understand , so every 2 weeks can I earn maximum 14 activity points?

Each activity period is about 14 days in length. For each activity period which you've posted in at least once, you can get up to 14 activity points.

During an activity period if you...

- Make 0 posts then you'll get 0 activity points
- Make 1 post then you'll get 1 activity point
- Make 7 posts then you'll get 7 activity points
- Make 14 posts then you'll get 14 activity points
- Make 21 posts and you'll get 14 activity points

Person A makes 7 posts in his first activity period and 14 posts in his second activity period:

He has posted in two activity periods. Therefore, his potential maximum activity is 14 x 2 = 28.
He has made 7 + 14 = 21 posts. Therefore, his real activity is 21.
His activity could be increased to 28 just by making 7 more posts.

Person B makes 21 posts in his first activity period and 0 posts in his second activity period:

He has posted in one activity period. Therefore, his potential maximum activity is 14 x 1 = 14.
He has made 21 + 0 = 21 posts. Therefore, his real activity is 14.
His activity cannot be increased any further.

Person C makes 1 post in his first activity period and 1 post in his second activity period:

He has posted in two activity periods. Therefore, his potential maximum activity is 14 x 2 = 28.
He has made 1 + 1 = 2 posts. Therefore, his real activity is 2.
His activity could be increased to 28 just by making 26 more posts.

A new activity period usually begins every second Tuesday and is the same for everyone across the entire board. It's not exactly 14 days in length since it's measured in seconds, but it's close enough.

Additional note: If person B made at least one post in his third activity period however, then his activity would suddenly increase to catch up with his post count. Since he would now have posted in two activity periods (the first one and the third one) rather than just one, he would be entitled to a potential maximum activity of 14*2 = 28 activity points.

EDIT: Now for a more complicated example:

Person D makes 7 posts in his first activity period, 15 posts in his second activity period, 6 posts in his third activity period, 0 posts in his fourth and fifth activity periods, and 5 posts in his sixth activity period:

He has posted in 4 activity periods (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th). Therefore, his potential maximum activity is 14 x 4 = 56.
He has made 7 + 15 + 6 + 5 = 33 posts. Therefore, his real activity is 33.
His activity could be increased to 56 just by making 23 more posts.

Hm yeah actually it seems that at the same time i got activity for hero and enough time passed for green rating . Tnx.

I think the two things are not related and if I remember correctly a positive trust from a defaultTrust user (one trust) will become green after 10 months, but I can be wrong in my words.

So thats actually changed a little as far as i could remember you now need extra points for the same levels. Its a good idea if so as more time has gone by since forum opened.

When does trust rating become green ? I had +1 for a long time and it was gray and couple days ago i became hero member and now its green ? How does that work ?

I do not understand how activity is calculated . too much complicated for me 

Ah, OK. This was actually the situation that I had in mind. i.e. someone who has potential activity or more precisely, someone who has an activity level that is near the transition point between ranks.

So the statement that rank updates roughly every two weeks is only correct for those who don't have any potential activity and have maxed out their activity then. For those people who post less often, their rank can change at any time as long as they reach the activity requirement.

Thought so.


Member with banked activity become Full Member in 1 hour but others will have to wait for the new period.


Yes that's what I meant.

Thanks for the explanation about the 30 minutes/1 hour thing. All those quotes are just confusing me right now.

Completely forgot about the fact that quotes are clickable too.

So what would happen if someone with a member rank has an activity of 119 and makes 2 more posts in 1 hour to reach an activity of 121? Since activity is updated every 1 hour, they would have an activity rank of 121 after 1 hour. Would they instantly become a full member or would they have to wait until Tuesday when the next activity period begins? I'm guessing it's the latter?



Clarification: I think what you meant to say was that activity updates every 1 hour but a new activity period begins roughly every 2 weeks. So in the above case, they would need to wait until the next activity period before their rank changes, correct?

Earlier, activity updated every 30 minutes but it was changed to 60 minutes(1 hour). If you check posts, you can see Cyrus' post is old. Also, why didn't you check theymos' post rather than checking others' posts?


Activity and rank update at the same time. It updates every 14 days, 6 minutes & 40 seconds. Currently, the 14^th day is Tuesday but it may change in future. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/til-activity-does-not-work-on-precisely-2-week-intervals-interval-timings-582736 for activity update timings.


By looking at your post, I think you don't know the line "Quote from: redsn0w on 22:13:47, 07 April 2015", for example, can be clicked. It is a hyperlink. You can go to the post the quote was taken from.

Not him but...

This post claims that activity is updated every 30 minutes:


While this post claims that activity is updated every hour:


Which one is it?

And there is no mention in the OP of how often rank is updated. I presume this is every Tuesday?

See post below:


Or does it happen whenever the activity reaches the requirement (so basically every 30 minutes/1 hour)?


Just recently, theymos confirmed that it's a glitch although it's not a particularly important one:

3 X 14 = 42 Jnr Member
4 X 14 = 56
5 X 14 = 70 Member
6 X 14 = 84
7 X 14 = 98
8 X 14 = 112
9 X 14 = 126 Full Member
10 X 14 = 140
11 X 14 = 154
12 X 14 = 168
13 X 14 = 182
14 X 14 = 196
15 X 14 = 210
16 X 14 = 224
17 X 14 = 238
18 X 14 = 252 Snr Member
19 X 14 = 266
20 X 14 = 280
21 X 14 = 294
22 X 14 = 308
23 X 14 = 322
24 X 14 = 336
25 X 14 = 350

28 X 14 = 392
29 X 14 = 406
30 X 14 = 420
31 X 14 = 434
32 X 14 = 448
33 X 14 = 462
34 X 14 = 476
35 X 14 = 490 Hero member

You will be a Full Member on the 23rd of June.

Nothing changes, required activity to become Full Member is still 120 points.

Can someone post here table clumn with actualy informations ? It has changed and I want to know how much activity I need to get F. member rank. Thank you.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1050395.0;all

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. I was told that a user who was a hero member , went back deleted hundreds of posts and still was able to be a hero member......

I know that name of this user but I don't want to be disrespectful to them and post it in public.

Just wondering if  this is how the board is designed to operate or if it is a 'glitch' or hole in the system

I think so
