14 days, 6 minutes and 40 seconds to be exact. At least that's what I read here (you can also find the spreadsheet of all activity periods there).

Thank you for the reply and the link. So, I examined the spreadsheet(s) and for the current period it is written that it should've started (yesterday) on September the 27th at 15:26:40. How does this add up with the fact that it seems to have started (today) on September the 28th at 17:26:40 UTC?

The spreadsheet is correct. I said before that it started at 03:26 PM (yesterday) but your last post yesterday was at 05:03:35 AM and that's why your activity didn't increase until after you posted above. I think you might have misunderstood my post.

Yes I've misunderstood it , now, it seems clearer to me. What I understand is: It is the first message posted once the (new) activity period starts, that triggers the activity update. Thanks for bearing with me .

What you quoted is for the wait times between posts, but as for activity you can only get 14 activity points every fortnight. You wont be able to get another 14 until the 11th.

Thank you so much this really helps me out. the scaling system has always confused me. i also appreciate the reply.

Thanks for letting me know this

My rank member not changes for a longer time.

My rank member not changes for a longer time.

You will become a Full Member once you reach an activity of 120. Activity is increased by a maximum of 14 every 2 weeks. Your activity is 84, you need at least three more activity periods (6 weeks) to get more than 120.

If you get the max for the current period, you'll have 98 once the next period starts.
If you get the max after that, you'll have 112 once the following period starts.
And then you'll need 8 activity points to reach 120, those points will be added to your activity once the following period starts.

So, you can expect a rank change starting from November the 8th, 2016 at 15:46:40 UTC (according to the activity spreadsheet found in this thread).

Avatars
Full Member and up only. 
It must be no more than 120px wide, 80px tall, and 100 KiB in size. It must be a PNG, GIF, or JPEG image. It must be safe for work.

Thanks for sharing this .I've now much sure what's rule on using Avatars and what's the actual meaning of activity.
Again thank you so much helps me out my fault.

[Lauda]

I've now much sure what's rule on using Avatars

31. User avatars must not contain NSFL or NSFW content, infringe on copyright or attempt to impersonate a user.

and what's the actual meaning of activity.

It's supposed to show how long you've been a *active* member of the community.

So not that easy at all to get a good rank. I was first just read posts for a year. O why i did not started to post year ago.

To be fair you made your account today haha. it wouldnt make sense to accredit you if you are not even logged in ;P

[Dabs]

It's easy. Just stick around and post every 2 weeks. That's what I did.

[TheCableGuy]

How is activity calculated?

[hilariousandco]

Why don't you just actually spend a bit of time to search or reading this thread? It's been explained hundreds of times:

For activity you can only get 14 activity points every fortnight.

You won't be able to get another 14 until Tuesday.

[MonkeyManofLife]

Thank you for this it was very helpful!

I'm sure the donator ranking was created when Bitcoin was worth a lot less than it is now. 10 Bitcoins is a lot. I wish I had enough to donate.

True.  But you're not saying that it should be decreased now are you?  I don't think it should.  Having a lower rank (e.g Supporter) would be fine though.

I wish I had enough to donate.

You can always donate smaller amount if you want.  However you won't get the donator rank.

I think that must have been when 10 bitcoin was no big deal, because at the rate it is now, I don't see any member willingly parting with that much. I think a review is highly necessary to reflect the present state of things. Would be good to know if any member have actually made this donation till this moment.

They did make it back when BTC wasnt big. however they likely see no reason to change it. they probably have more then enough and the current donators will likely be upset if they lower it because they paid that high of an amount.

Theymos gave the donators an assurance that the amount (in bitcoin) won't be changed, so he is just sticking to that.

I said a long time ago that the prices would remain the same, so I can't change this policy now in any case.
