where can I find an overview of how many posts are needed for the different member ranks at bitcointalk (Newbie, Member, Full Member, Senior Member...) ? Thank you  ! All the main ranks that can be handed out to normal users are: Brand New, Newbie, Jr. Member, Member, Full Member, Sr. Member, and Hero Member. In addition to the main rankings, there are also sub-rankings that can be applied, and those are: SCAMMER, Donator, and VIP. Finally, staff sub-rankings are as follows: Staff, Moderator, Global Moderator, Administrator, and Founder. Rank | Description | Tag | | Brand New: | 0 posts, gets 1 gold coin under his name. |  | | Newbie: | (none), gets 1 gold coin under his name. | | | Jr. Member: | activity: 30, gets 1 gold coin under his name. | | | Member: | Activity: 60, gets 2 gold coins under his name. | | | Full Member: | Activity: 120, gets 3 gold coins under his name. | | | Sr. Member: | Activity: 240, gets 4 gold coins under his name. | | | Hero Member: | Activity: 480, gets 5 gold coins under his name.
| | Sub-Rank | Description | Tag | | SCAMMER: | Manually applied by administration, regardless of post count and gets 5 red Xs under his name. |  | | Donator: | Manually applied by administration after 10 BTC donation, and gets 5 gold coins under his name
of which the last is half green. 5 coins are shown regardless of post count when user is a Donator. |  | | VIP: | Manually applied by administration after 50 BTC donation, and gets 5 gold coins under his name
of which the last is half purple. 5 coins are shown regardless of post count when user is a VIP.
|  | | | Staff Rank | Description | Tag | | Staff: | Shown when moderators (see next point) post outside of the sections that they moderate.
Always shows 5 gold coins. | | | Moderator: | Shown when moderators of specific sections post within those sections.
Gets 5 gold coins, of which the last is shown as half faded-out green. |  | | Global Moderator: | Applied to Staff that have moderation privileges in all boards.
Gets 5 gold coins, of which the last is half teal colored. |  | | Administrator: | Has all available permissions and can appoint moderators and perform other administrative tasks.
Gets 5 gold coins, of which the last is shown half red regardless of post count. |  | | Founder: | Reserved for Satoshi, gets 5 platinum coins under his name. |  |
The way activity is calculated: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)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.
To become a Donator or a VIP, send a PM to theymos to get a unique donation address.Took the liberty to update it according to the new Activity & new member limits/groups.Edited with proper number of coins.I added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges:  Bitcoin expert | Dev&Tech only. People with this badge know enough about the Bitcoin network to reimplement something very like it from scratch. They are capable of intelligently discussing the Bitcoin network: current protocol, possible attacks, proposed changes, etc. Criteria: Recommendation by an existing Bitcoin expert or core dev and approval by a forum administrator. |  Bitcoin-Qt core developer | Dev&Tech only. These are the core developers of Satoshi's Bitcoin client. They are listed here. Core developers are among the top contributors to Bitcoin-Qt, and they are all bitcoin experts, though they don't also get that badge. |
A core dev does not "outrank" a bitcoin expert (or vice-versa), and it's possible for someone without a badge to contribute meaningfully to a discussion with experts and core devs. |
