Topic: Membergroups - What do those colored coins mean? (UPDATED) (Read 809 times)
Found this via Google search. Great info for a newbie like me. I think I'm gonna love this forum... a welcome change from spending chunks of my daily life on FB.
Thanks, that was the obvious info I was missing. 
min() is a function that takes the smaller of the 2 numbers (separated by a comma).
The activity number is determined using the following formula:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated automatically every 30 minutes.
For instance, if I make 2 posts in one of the two-week periods, I will gain 2 activity.

What does "min" stand for and why is their a comma between 14 and posts? I seem too have missed something obvious and have no clue how activity is calculated. Help would be greatly appreciated. (not in btc)
The problem is that nobody ever reads stickies
True, that

Thank you for this information! It is very helpful and easy to understand!
This post I will get back to many times so I can fully understand the different levels.
It would be nice if this was like a post it note to click on up in the square where the text says "Hello "username"".

great info should be sticky
Updated the OP with some more info under activity 
Excellent work, it would be a good idea to make it "sticky" so anyone can see it everytime
+1 for the sticky idea. Would save a lot of time for the newbies... and a lot of effort for us answering their questions. These are: Staff, Moderator, Global Moderator, Administrator, and Founder

Bringing this back up again.
Yup. It's best to up it as much as possible because tons of newbies tend to ask the same question every day.
Keeping this up in case some newbies have gotten confused by activity.
The old thread seems to be out-dated, so I'm making a new one. It's basically just been re-worded.
A common question that newbies will ask is: "Can I trust someone based on the amount of coins they have?", and the answer is that it is entirely up to you now. You are ranked based on a formula that looks at your posts over periods of time, so higher ranks such as Hero Members have usually used bitcointalk for at least a year while being active. While it doesn't guarantee they are fully trusted, it means they probably have some knowledge of Bitcoin and some trust in the community - if you have a lot to lose when trading, use an escrow service.
The regular ranks that regular users can earn are: Brand New, Newbie, Jr. Member, Member, Full Member, Sr. Member, and Hero Member.
There are also sub-ranks, which exist either to warn people of scammers or to show appreciation to someone who has donated to Bitcointalk. These are: Donator, VIP and SCAMMER. Donators and VIPs have access to a private forum, and are also able to change their user title. VIPs can also change their username. SCAMMERS have many restrictions, for example, they can not edit their posts.
Last of all, there are staff ranks for official Bitcointalk moderators and administrators. These are: Staff, Moderator, Global Moderator, Administrator, and Founder. Staff members can delete, edit and move posts, and have access to a special staff board, as well as the Donator board.
