Topic: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) - page 68. (Read 2762380 times)

Not this Tuesday but the Tuesday after that (and then every second Tuesday after that) . There is a list of activity periods on a spreadsheet here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/til-activity-does-not-work-on-precisely-2-week-intervals-interval-timings-582736

When is the next rank update going to happen? And do we have any calender for Rank update? 

No, activity will not go down by itself merely due to inactivity. The only way you could lose activity is if all the posts you made in a particular period were deleted.

I have another question.
When I get for example a Full Member Rank.
This Rank will stay forever or it will disappear and when I go on holidays and I come back i am downgraded?

Thanks for the Information in advance.

Yes. You won't get any more activity until the new period.

Thanks for the info, but I have already 40 posts before the cycle ends last november 8 I think.
So does it mean that I need to wait for another 2 weeks to see my activity updated?...

When you created your account is irrelevant if you don't post at least once in each new two week period. If you don't post at all you will get zero activity. See the table posted below for details on when you will become x rank:

It takes more than that. It's 3 periods:


1 X 14 = 14
2 X 14 = 28
3 X 14 = 42   --  Jr. Member ( 1.5 month)
4 X 14 = 56
5 X 14 = 70   --  Member (2.5 month)
6 X 14 = 84
7 X 14 = 98
8 X 14 = 112
9 X 14 = 126   --  Full Member (4.5 month)
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   --  Senior Member (8.5 month)
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
26 X 14 = 364
27 X 14 = 378
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 (1.3 years)

Just wondering, I created my account last october 21, 2017. I have now 42 post including this one but my activity is only 28. Is that normal or there is something wrong with my account?, If there is nothing wrong with my account, when will I rank up as jr. member?..., thanks in advance for those who will help...

The comma separates the different values while min (PHP function) is taking the lowest (minimum) value. If for example, you posted in two activity periods, (time * 14) should give you 28. If your posts were higher then that, then activity will take time * 14 as Its the lowest, so your activity will be 28. If your posts were lower (say 10 posts) and your (time * 14) was 28, you will get the minimum which is 10 activity until you post more.

All you need to know is you can only get fourteen activity every two week period. Also, please don't double post. You can edit your previous post with additional info.


You will only be demoted in rank if you have all your posts deleted from a particular activity period. And yes, you can be banned temporarily or permanently from the forum. Read the rules for full details but copy and pasting content will get you immediately perma banned and sig spamming will get you temporarily banned.

Yea! I found this ranking positions highlighted very comprehensive, explicit and understandable. Thanks. But what can be the reason behind any member being demoted? Again can any member be totally banned for misconduct in the forum?

Ok, this is a real post.  I'm not horrible at math, but it's definitely not my strong suit.  I can't figure the activity formula.  I even tried googling first, but I still don't get it.  All I could find was that commas are usually decimal separators, and sometimes used to mean AND/OR.

activity = min(time * 14, posts)

What's 'min'?  The word 'posts' is comma separated inside the brackets.  I assume it's meant to be.  Any help will be appreciated.

You beat me to it.  I appreciate the logic behind keeping it the same, but it's not practical.  Then again maybe there's actually people who've slapped down up to $400k for the cause! (and a label of course ).  At the very least there ought to be some much lower donation rewards, and perhaps a little something for time as a member.  Something for each year? I'm not overly concerned with titles and badges, but it does irk a little seeing newbie after 2+ years membership .  I'd be far happier donating a small amount to help this awesome resource than posting for the sake of gaining activity.

When I post I talk and attempt to contribute more than most.  I'm just not a frequent talker.  The alternative is writing little nothing posts everywhere (case in point above) to get my activity count up.  That's not me, and shouldn't count as a post.  I imagine lots of 'newbies' do it, but if it were up to me it would result in subtraction, not reward.  They're deliberately pointless posts made just to get over restrictions, and be eligible for non newbie things like an air drop promotion.  Or whatever they feel the need is.

Edit - I was deleting that useless post before the hour.  I was simply making a point.  I see "Very helpful." still gets the prize.  So you read.. and yet.  Well, I tried.

Yes, they are. It has been discussed and decided that it is only fair to those that donated previously to keep it the same in Bitcoin value. After all, if they had not donated then they would still have that coin with today's value. It has also been suggested to add new ranks with fiat linked donation levels in the future, but whether or not will happen I cannot say.

Are the donation numbers still up to date? I mean 50 BTC is a whole lot by now...

Yes and by looking at your posts history, you should get 28 activity as soon as you get enough posts (allow up to 1 hour for the activity update).

Thank you for the info to letting we know about ranking most of all us newbie

Was it yesterday? Ranks should upgrade?

My account did not get updated yesterday at all? I assumed that I should gain 14 points.
Please advise on what to do or why I did not get the points.
Thanks

Ranking system is not useful for new ANN topics. Unfortunately we can't use images. Hope it is temporary.
