Ranks

Avatars
Full Member and up only.
It must be no more than 120px wide, 80px tall, and 100 KiB in size. It must be a PNG, GIF, or JPEG image. It must be safe for work.

Thanks for providing the information about the avatar only full members can apply custom avatar as profile pic .

You need to know the forum already disable any users to update their avatars with GIF format, if you see someone wear an animated avatar it mean they've wore it for many years before the update.

Also there's few users below full member ranks are wear avatar, this because during the early forum anyone can wear avatar including newbie account.

240 Activity really for Sr. Member (plus the Merits you mentioned).

Thanks DdmrDdmr for reminding, it was my fault and didn't realize it. Now fixed for justification.

As a long time member of Kareemc2 should already know how this merit system works for him and all the other users. I tried to check Kareemc2's post history to help him get merit, but unfortunately he doesn't have a great post history to pique my interest. Most of the posts are on bounty campaign aplication, that's not what I was looking for. So my suggestion for Kareemc2 is try to improve your quality and interest in posting more so that it can provide options for other users to help you with merit especially if you post something of value.

If by promotion you mean ranking up, then the OP gives you what you need to know (or even simply the post above yours). Your account doesn’t really have many posts at all (36), and was created in 2018 (not 2017).

Regardless, simply put, you need to gain both Activity (by posting - with a max. of 14 gainable Activity points per two weeks in general terms, although it’s a bit more complex) and Merits (by posting decent content that others may or not award Merit to at some point).

You currently have a standing Activity of 35 and 0 Merits, so your first potential next rank is Jr. Member, which requires >= 30 Activity and >= 1 Merit.

With the above in mind, reread the OP, and the enclosed link to the thread that explains the Merit System. It should be easier to follow now.

Hello,
I have gone through all the write up
Please can someone share more light on how is the promotion process done.
I have been a newbie since 2017 and i have post and reply many post but still no any obvious change seen.

Create useful or quality posts to get 1 merit. Besides you have reached a sufficient number of posts and activities, you must get merit to rank up to a higher rank. Now you only need merit to rank up to Jr member.

Here are the details:

1 merit for Jr member, you must be have 30 aktivity
10 merit for Member, you must be have 60 aktivity
100 merit for Full Member, you must be have 120 aktivity
250 merit for Sr Member, you must be have 240 aktivity
500 Merit for Hero Member, you must be have 480 aktivity
1000 Merit for Legendary, you must be have 775 - 1030 aktivity

Read further on the first page of this topic, you will understand it in more detail.

How many posts do i have to reply to be able to create a thread?
I am unable to find the info in the first page.

You can create threads and post in existing threads already. You just need to wait 6 minutes between posting.

Newbie accounts cannot post in only 2 places.
Serious Discussions - min Jr. Member rank: at least 30 activity (30 separate days in which you posted at least once) and 1 merit point
Ivory Tower - min Full Member rank: at least 120 activity and 100 merit points

For more info:
Forum ranks/positions/badges & Merit & new rank requirements

P.S. and please do not post the same question in multiple threads. Might also want to read the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

P.S.2 I already regret replying...

You will be able to create topics immediately after registration on the forum. The only thing is that your threads will not display pictures. To have an image displayed in your threads, you must be a Jr.Member, or buy an additional Copper Member rank.

but to cut it short does activity = posts/comments?

That's correct only to a certain* extent...

Refer to the activity part on the following thread: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit

Quote from: ichisaki on February 04, 2022, 01:35:42 PM

Else where should I stick to get a rank up?

It's worth noting that, activity isn't the only requirement for ranking up ^{[there's also "merit points"]}, but to answer your question, as long as you post high-quality content, merit points would come naturally ^{[in other words, it doesn't really matter where you make those posts]}.

Quote from: ichisaki on February 04, 2022, 01:35:42 PM

Is there any other way to rank up?

No, but if you just want to post an image, you can "buy a copper membership".

Is this still reliable? I see tons of people with 30+ activity that aren't passed Newbie yet.

Is there an updated chart somewhere if it isn't up to date?

I have one question, though. You have been a member of this forum since 2016? Where the hell have you been all this time? Shocked

Have you read the text at the beginning of this thread? The updated one?

Right now before you can able to rank up or become a Jr. Member with 30+ activity you need to receive 1 merit.

Though I didn't get the part of "120" for instance. Is it the number of days an account must have existed? Please clarify.

That's a vague question... There are three parts in OP that use that number and I'm going to rule out the avatar part.

If you were asking about activity, refer to the following thread: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit
And if you were referring to PM limits, then it's the maximum number of PMs someone can send under certain conditions!

I read whole article I found it very helpful for me. Cause theri are people that are always helping others.
I have question that merit points that are given are deducted from Donor.
For example:
Legendary member A: 870 merit
Member B: 16 Merit
If Member A give 5 merit to member B than User A merit would be 865 or 870.
I will be pleased if someone replies my Question.

There are two types of merits

1-Merits (which can only be received and cannot be deducted)
2- sMertis (Which can only be send and they will be deducted once you send them)

The Merit system is designed in a way whic encourages you to give smerit while your merits remain the same.

The correct answer to your example is 870 Merits.

870
Merit is independent from sMerits (sendable merits).
sMerits are those merits that you can send/award to other users, while merits are literally your merit points and it cannot be deducted unless by these occasion/s
(Merit for Deleted Posts).

when a member receives merit they also receive sendable merit which is called sMerit. so, if member A sent 5 merits, member A will still have 870 merits but his sendable(sMerits) will be 5 sMerit less.

here, read this thread Merit & new rank requirements it might help you understand how merit and sMerit works
