I dont get this. Dont you get to have 14 activity points if you post 14 times inside each period? I have posted 14 times sinde 02/09/2014, shouldn't I have added +14 to my activity?
No, you may have already gotten those 14 points prior to then (yet still in that period).
In other (longer) words: DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITY, it shows you aren't in the forum for posting relevant information or to have a discussion. Rather you are here for signature programs.. From now on in, please contribute and don't worry about your activity, you can provide relevant, constructive and useful information wether your a newbie with 14 activity or if your a legendary with 1200 activity. Plus time will fly by (so will your activity) if you post helpfully not spammy.
Well I do worry about activity, while I post normally. Also, signature campaing is the only way to get BTC unless you have enough FIAT to invest (99% of people dont). If we want BTC to succeed, we need more ways to get BTC, most people aren't going to put their FIAT into BTC because its too risky. For now signatures a good way to get a little BTC monthly, but we need more ways.
99%? I don't think that's correct!
Every two weeks it calculates your activity. You get one activity per post up to 14.
Mmm, but doesnt activity update every 30 minutes or so? lets see, this is how i understand it:
July 8th , 2014 , 9:00:00 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
July 22nd, 2014, 9:06:40 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
August 5th 2014, 9:13:20 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
August 19th 2014, 9:20:00 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
September 2nd 2014, 9:26:40 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
September 16th 2014, 9:33:20 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
September 30th 2014, 9:40:00 AM: post 14 or more posts in this period, you get +14 activity
etcetc
is this correct?
Yes, it is! Is your doubt cleared? Have you understood how it works, now?
You have posted in those 3 periods (marked with a <- sign) only, and so you get 42 (14*3) activity.
What is the confusing part here?
What is the confusing part here?
Perhaps the confusion is coming from OP's activity having increased at the start of the most recent period, given that he already had made more than 42 posts at the time - he was probably expecting it to increase as he made 14 new posts through the period.
Also, yes, activity is updated every 30 minutes; that is, activity is limited not only by each 2 week time period, but also by your number of posts - so, if you have fewer posts than your maximum possible activity, every 30 minutes the forum will check to see if you have made new posts and update your activity accordingly. But that is no longer relevant here, as your post count exceeds your activity.
No Offence, Sorry, its wrong! It used to be 30 minutes but it was changed to 60 minutes.
It used to be 30 mins or that's what was stated, but the sticky has been updated to 60 mins now which would seem right: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/forum-rankspositionsbadges-what-do-those-shiny-coins-under-my-name-mean-178608
