Member Category Assignment

[franzfmdavis]

Has anyone else wondered how the categories are assigned: e.g. senior, fanatic, ambassador, etc?

I have no complaints about it and am just curious?

I looked around a bit and didn't see any info about it.

Number of posts maybe?

 

[mark-hunter]

Number of posts, category assigned automatically.
Similar system is on other forums, as well.

I have wondered about it as well. I deduced that it seemed to correlate with the number of "messages" a person has.

It would be interesting to see a list of the category/ranks and the number of messages associated with being in that category.

Sometimes I don't get the progression like you are a Veteran, then an Enthusiast. I think. That seems backward to me.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. There are people on here that have a massive amount of posts that have the worst advice and I would never want to share a camp with, and there are people on here with a lot of valuable knowledge and seem like a lot of fun with relatively low posts.

But it would be interesting to see it written out just to know.

I believe it is a combination of posts with favorable responses you can easily see recorded for each member. For example just because a member posts a lot does not mean that member moves up in classification. The responses that member gets to their posts matters a lot.

If you post interesting factual stuff about guns and hunts you advance to the next level. If you post nonsense on the politics thread you go back down.

If it’s the combination of posts and responses, I bet it’s an interesting algorithm…though I don't even understand basic algebra so having that information wouldn't be much use for me.

Does anyone know the complete order of rankings?

 

[BourbonTrail]

There’s an old post somewhere, but it’s like:

New Member 0-50 posts
Member 50-75 posts
Senior Member 75-100 posts
Veteran 100 posts
Enthusiast 250 posts
Fanatic 500 posts
Elite 1000 posts
Legend 2000 posts
Ambassador 5000 posts.

I think reactions factor in, but I don’t remember how.

@BRICKBURN knows

I wish.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head there.

 

[thriller]

I wish.

Don’t sell yourself short I bet you could make this happen

 

[K-man]

I wish.

Is that a request?? LOL

Thread 'AfricaHunting.com User Titles'

Aug 12, 2010

You may have noticed that I have created new User Titles, something that I have been meaning to do for a while. I wanted to give a different status to those who participate and contribute the most. I also wanted new members and visitors to the site to be able to easily recognize those members who have given so much and made this site so great.

User Titles are based upon participation, not how long you have been a member. Below are new User Titles and the number of posts required to achieve that title.

New Member 0 to 14 posts
AH Member 15 to 49 posts
AH Senior Member 50...

Politics thread is the worst on the forum, and it has this "join the dark side, my son" appeal. Plus many other crap. I must admit, I get dragged there by gravity on occasion and in my weak moments.

Like the Borg alien syndrome from Star Track.

Some interesting threads hunting related have been deleted, yet this one survives. I dont know why. We are here for hunting passion. Not for political debate.

@BRICKBURN
For your attention.
