I wouldn't overly concern yourself with the formula as it is confusing, but basically it's saying you can only get 14 activity points every two weeks and to get those you need to make the 14 posts. However, you only need to make one post in each activity period to get the potential merit? and you can collect the rest later by making the required posts. Everything is explained here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177

Potential merit? You mean potential activity.

Yes, i think he meant activity and not merit. If you make one post in 14 days, you will get the potential activity. Later when you complete the posts (30 Posts for Jr Member), you will rank up (if you meet the merit requirements).
There is no potential merit sort of thing. The more merits you get, the quicker it will be for you to rank up provided your posts/activity requirement are fulfilled.

Can someone explain to me this:

activity = min(time * 14, posts)

what is min and what is "comma" posts. I just never seen a comma in an equation so I am not sure what to make out of it.

Where exactly does it say the merits that are needed for Hero and Legendary? I remember Full member being at least 100 merits, but this thread doesn't mention the required merits, only the activity.

Also, I don't get why Legendary should be within a range of numbers. Isn't this a little unfair?

I'm not sure why theymos made it random but I think Legendary should be fixed at 960 merit to follow the format of the other accounts. I also think a new rank should be added at 1920 activity but maybe make it a very high merit requirement so only the best of posters achieve it.

min is a function that receives 2 parameters:

value 1 = time * 14
value 2 = posts

It then returns the lowest value.

Example:

time = 10
posts = 40

activity = min(10 * 14, 40)
activity = min(140, 40)
activity = 40

(because 40 < 140)

How to increase my rank?

If you've already "read the very first few lines of this thread" and you're still confused, then the short answer is:

Be somewhat "active ^{[you have to post instead of just roaming around]"}and earn "merits ^{[it's meant for high-quality posts but some tend to give it for useful posts as well]}".
- Take note: Don't ask for merits and refrain from spamming or rather making useless posts.

Anyone Can Explain How Can I Achieve Jr Member Rank Freely.

You are on the forum for more than a year and you did not understand the basic thing that you need merit if you want to become Jr. Member and above. Looking at your post history shows that you have not been active anywhere on the forum except in the bounties. You will not get any merit by anyone if you only interested in hunting bounty.

Ranks

Update on 9/19/18: Merit points are now added
In addition to the activity points, merit points (click for more information) are required to advance your ranking. You will need at least 1 merit point before you can be a Jr. Member (click for more information).

And following the link, you'll read that you need the following Merits+Activity points to rank up:

Quote from: theymos on January 24, 2018, 07:00:11 PM

In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks. The required scores are:

Rank	Required activity	Required merit
Brand new	0	0
Newbie	1	0
Jr Member	30	1
Member	60	10
Full Member	120	100
Sr. Member	240	250
Hero Member	480	500
Legendary	Random in the range 775-1030	1000

You need to have merits in order for you to rank up. A single merit can make you a Jr. Member as your activity has already completed.

Spend some time and you will achieve those if you are really looking forward to get your promotion.

Quote from: RapTarX on December 26, 2020, 06:39:27 PM

Some will achieve the rank by contributing to the forum while some other will achieve it by contributing half of what the Legendary did? I think that will be disrespect towards the real Legendary who will achieve by following forum requirements.

As I'm running a forum myself I see the point here, and you both are probably right that it will be more "fair" and good for the community as a whole when ppl are contributing with ideas and opinion on topics here.

I don't see what's unfair about it since there are no advantages (besides the colored coin) that come with the membership. I think that a bit of suspense can be fun Tongue

but this thread doesn't mention the required merits, only the activity.

Probably cause this thread was originally created as far back as 2013 when there was no merit points required to rank up, it was edited later with a link to the merit requirements for the different ranks;

Could be a means of adding a bit of drama to the rank as users are unsure of when exactly they would hit the unique activity points for their account to get to legendary status, so it is like a lottery spin every activity period.
It may be considered unfair to some users who have to wait really long to get to the the apex rank.

Because it is a privilege to become a Legendary. Not everyone deserves it. Someone just need a bit more proof to become one, while others rank-up quicker. That, I think, is the reason why it is a range of activity to become a Legendary.
