Bitcoin Forum

Sooooo I'm confused as to when your rank updates, is it actually twice a month like I read somewhere??

Your activity updates every two weeks. Your rank updates after you reach certain thresholds of activity.


Jr. Member:   Activity: 30
Member:   Activity: 60
Full Member:   Activity: 120
Sr. Member:   Activity: 240
Hero Member:   Activity: 480

For more information on ranks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0

Your current rank will be updated according to your activity number:
30: jr member
60: member
120: ...
Because every two weeks you only get a maximum of 14 activity so you have no way to increase the maximum 14 so it is necessary to be patient and post more quality posts than spam to increase post and activity. For a healthy forum  >:( >:(

Not surprisingly, previous posts don't fully answer your question.

Your rank only updates when you've passed the minimum activity threshold for the next rank.

Assuming you've (A) made at least one post in each two week cycle since you joined the forum, and (B) you have more posts than the number of days you've been active on this forum. Your activity will update every other week, not just twice a month. And it usually occurs on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

You cannot have activity higher than the number of days you've been active in the forum (with the exception of your first 14 days).

Man i am a noob but i think this guys knows stuff. This is in the pinned post so this is common knowledge it says newbies read here so i would read that.

After two weeks, if you are certainly active before the forum, then the rank may rise. And so everything is doubling 30-60-120.

I am now Newbie and I have already gather the following findings from this forum: Jr. Member:   Activity: 30; Member:   Activity: 60; Full Member:   Activity: 120 but without this I am not sure about time limitation of upgrading ranks.  :-\

Every post equals 1 Activity, but you can 14 Activity maximum every two weeks. So if you post more it will be not counted as Activity till your first post in the next two weeks.
30 Activty: junior 1 mounth
60 Activity: member 2 mounths
120 Activity: full member 4 mounths
240 Activity: senior member 8 mounths
and so on.. focus on reading articles and interacting with other members and be an active member and your rank will be upgraded with time, don't rush.

You are right, 14 activities will be added after every two weeks if you are enough active on this forum. There is no need to confuse, just check out this link to get better idea about the rank system of this forum - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

This is the 3 basic example to know Rank updates.

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

For example, if in a 14 day period you post 14 posts, you gain +14 activity.
If you post 2 posts in a 14 day period, you gain +2 activity.
If you don't post at all in a 14 day period, you don't gain activity.
However, if you post 15 or more posts in a 14 day period, you still gain only +14 activity.

This is the basic explanation for jump ranks.
1 X 14 = 14
2 X 14 = 28
3 X 14 = 42     ( jr member) 30days-42days
4 X 14 = 56
5 X 14 = 70     (member) 60days -70days
6 X 14 = 84
7 X 14 = 98
8 X 14 = 112
9 X 14 = 126   (full member) 120days-126days
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 (Sr. Member) 252days
19 x 14 = 266
20 x 14 = 280
21 x 14 = 294
22 x 14 = 308
23 x 14 = 322

35 x 14 = 490(hero  member) 490days or 16 months

Here we go with another thread asking about this, and people are giving the same
answers over and over.  This is tiresome and the answer to ranking up really needs
to be stickied in bright bold red letters on the front page of meta, where this
question gets asked the most.  These threads should also be moved to beginners &
help.

It's also annoying that so many newbies are so concerned with rank here.  I've never
seen this attitude on another forum (and I know why.  It's because they're so anxious
to start spamming for money).

Yeah, it's sad what this forum has become and incredibly frustrating that nothing is really being done about it. I can literally see the forum getting worse every day as more and more shitposters tell their friends they can earn money here. The majority of people who sign up here are kids from South-east Asia who can barely speak English and they don't just sign up on one account. There's no money in that. To earn a living you need multipe accounts if not dozens. And of course they just regurgitate the same one or two sentences over and over.  Some people even have their entire family posting away. I've seen people boast about how their wives and mothers and kids are earning good money now. Of course 9/10 of them can't speak English very well and have no genuine knowledge or interest in bitcoin other than they can earn money from crapcoin campaigns here and crapcoin campaigns will certainly pay them. They don't care as long as they have their signature smeared all over the forum.

So i have been a member on bt since more than a month but i have not posted more than 19 times now
I wanna be a part of certain airdrop which requires to be jr.member bt , is there a way j can be a jr member
Will i get 30 activity if i post more as i am a part of bt since more than a month ?

Thanks for your explaination, this one help me to understand the ranked. but the activity point can be decrease by admin because it is poor post. I got a remind from admin yesterday.

Yes, because you have a potential activity of 42. Once you make 30 total posts you'll become a Junior Member: https://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/?token=lhf8vau

Please don't spam your way there though.

I see your point but I've been in some other sm forums as well and I'm used to that activity count equals message count almost instantly and that's it. (Of course they have no need to slow ranking up when there is no money involved.) So I can see that someone can genuinely be confused about this system here even if I see clearly why it exists.

This one best explains it. You have to take note that maximum of 14 activities is being recognized in 2 weeks. If you post more than 14, it will not count as activity. With that, as you can observe the rank does not only depends if you post much. It's also about patience and time. But everything will be worth it. Especially when you reach high ranks and join signature campaigns. The pay outs are high.

THis whole rank thing is very confusing. Why you cant just delete ranks and tell all that they are newbies. This forum is great tho. I don't even have bitcoins but I still love to read this. Thanks for creators of this site.

..must read first about this for the beginners

As newbie it will confuse us because we are into different system based on posting your rank will upgrade. But I am confusing how long it will take to reach the Jr. Member?

You need to keep posting useful stuff to get up in ranks.
My first account seems to be banned because "One liners" so do not do it to get rank up easily.

30 to J member, If as you say, must have 42 day (1 post per day ) to get full update rank?

You will need 30 activity to become a Junior Member, so 30 posts over three activity periods which will be about a month. You can work it out exactly by checking the activity period start dates on the spreadsheet here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.0

within a period of 1.5 months and at least 30 activities enough to update the level.

my account registered in 2014 with 96 posts but inactive, is it will get to full member by posting 24 posts now.

When you actually registered is irrelevant. If you don't make at least one post in an activity period then you will lose that activity forever, so you will have to wait and post in two more periods before you will become a Full Member.

There are certain activities limit which decides your rank and upon those upgradation your rank too will increase.Here a jr.member needs 30 activities,60 for member,120 full member,240Sr.member,480Hero member and about775-1030 legendary.

So, is activity measured daily?

The activity of your account updates every two weeks since the date you first created your account. But, it will not update if you are not posting atleast 2 post per 2 weeks in the forum.

No. It's measured fortnightly. You only need to make at least one post in each fortnightly period to be able to collect that activity.


None of this is correct. Activity periods are fixed and do not start when you sign up. They're the same for everyone. And as I stated above, you only need to make one post every two weeks. ;)

Wow this is good to know and should be added to the main thread. I tough my account will be able to go up fast in rank once i register it and wait a few months, without posting :/

There has to be some solution to this right? Isn't it possible to force rules onto signature campaigns? Maybe impose the rule of having full members and above only. That would force spammers to wait for a long time before they can grow their accounts up, and if word of mouth spreads in regards to making money, people who aren't enthusiastic about cyrpto will just drop out because it'll take too much time to get to those ranks. Or maybe there can be a new type of moderator on these forums that have rule over those that are in signature campaigns and monitor threads to boot those who spam. Having one campaign manager to handle about 50 people who are posting is pretty strenuous.

Jr. Member:   Activity: 30 Member:   Activity: 60 Full Member:   Activity: 120 Sr. Member:   Activity: 240 Hero Member:   Activity: 480

Hmmm, makes sense. If you only post one comment a day, you'll stop being a newbie after one month.

I suspect the answer would be to reduce activity by one every time you ask when your activity will update, or if you post a reply that is a copy of a previous reply . :)
