Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

May I know how long it takes for the forum rank to change from member to full member after touching 120 activity ?

It updates every thirty minutes as far as I'm aware, so very soon.

Oh thanx... it seems it has changed.

Hello everybody
i am new member in this forum,
i didn't understand how to calculate activity:

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)

could u please give me an example , and is there a limit to activity in a defined period, and what way can i gain activity other than posting.
thanks

You can only gain a max of 14 activity points every two week period. You can't get any more than that until the next period which will start on the 13th.

Have a read over this thread for a better idea: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495948.0

I want to be a cowboy but we can't always get what we want.

You can try to bribe someone into selling you an account... Or work your way up the ladder!

Why do you mark someone as a scammer, why not just ban him? He'll learn for the next time.

They don't mark people as SCAMMERs anymore, nor do they ban them for being one. They can always just make another account and repeat the process again anyway.

Well yeah but still... something maybe could be done about it and I still think banning or even trying ip ban, forbid the using of TOR for browsing this forum.

I think it would be unfair to everyone who uses TOR legitimately to browse this forum if they banned it. IP bans are sometimes used, but scammers will always find a way to come back using a VPN or something, so it's ultimately futile really..

Sorry if this has been already asked but i didn't find much.



Regarding the "activity"

time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)/

Now i do understand time, but how to solve this: "min(time * 14, posts)" ? What does "min" mean? And what does the comma mean?



I'd also like to put an avatar but i can't change that option, are avatars limited to some rank or?

Read this for several explanations on activity: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495948.0

Avatars were disabled and probably won't be coming back until the new forum software.

[Darkmatter12]

That is a nice piece of information that I could use.

I am a bit confused, why my activity is stuck at 58 ? When will it hit 60 ?

As been mentioned several times all over this forum you can only get 14 points every fortnight so its not stuck.

Does anyone know why changing Avatars is disabled and when it will be enabled again?

It was disabled due to a bug/exploit and it's not looking like they'll return until the new forum.
