I've noticed the rankings beside our posts have changed, and we are now classified in terms of various precious metals. I know it's painfully petty and silly, but I was like, "Hey, I went from 3 stars to 2!"  So what are the new breakpoints based upon? |

I seen that Bert really never got his question about the new ranks answered...how do they change, what are they based on? Post still? |

I'm guessing they must still be based on post-count (even though you can't see it). Last night I moved up from 'Tin' - *spits in disgust* - to 'Bronze' whilst doing nothing other than posting my usual drivel!  |

Ok, for now, the ranking system is:
Very Pale Grey - 10
Pale Grey - 50
Grey-ish - 250
Grey - 500
Dark Grey - 2000
And, yes. It will change.

I had no problem with the number of posts ranking, myself. Either way, it's not that big a deal.

George,
In large part the changes to the rankings are because I'm trying to get a better understanding of how the discussion board code works. Initially, I learned just enough about the board to get it up and running and then later learned enough to keep everyone and their mother trying to pimp organ enlargement, cheap fags and printer cartridges from spamming the boards. Then I read that if you don’t track number of posts that folks make, that cuts down on the number of single word/pad posts (e.g., LOL!) that some make just to run up their numbers so they can achieve another level toward a ‘nirvana’ amount of posts.
Don
P.S. Roger Doger, I like you man. Remember it is the quality of the posts, not the quantity. Size does not matter.
