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

[Lafu]

Rank	Description	Tag
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.

I dont know really if somebody else noticed it or have written about that in the last years since this post was made.
But the quoted text is on the end wrong " shown as half faded-out green " and it should be normal " shown as half faded-out silver or white "
Its just something that i have seen when i was looking for something so maybe @Cyrus you can change it

I don't see any problem here.
If you download the image and zoom in to %500 you can see the green in it. It's not full green as it's reserved for Donator rank.

@Lafu is right and @EFS is right. And we're also a bit wrong too. If you take a few color samples^[1] from that half you will see mostly tints of cyan, which is basically a greenish blue. So it does have green in it. But I do agree, faded-out green isn't the best wording. Maybe greyish cyan is better?

I mean its nothing that is important i just have noticed it and thought to write about it.
My first thinking was that it was maybe an typing error or something , but its up to you if you wanted to change it or not.
In the german local board when i see the Moderator post and his coins its always a half silver or white for me , maybe it also have something to do with color settings.

You should have read the first post in this thread. There is even a reference link regarding merit points.

Update on 9/19/18: Merit points are now added
In addition to the activity points, merit points (click for more information) are required to advance your ranking. You will need at least 1 merit point before you can be a Jr. Member (click for more information).

To get to Full Member rank, you must have a minimum of 120 activities and 100 Merit (Merit & new rank requirements).

Regarding how to get Merit, try looking at the posts of users who get a lot of Merit. Also, try to learn new knowledge you didn't know before and try to put it into practice. Apart from increasing your knowledge, it also allows you to gain Merit.

Here is one thread that you might learn from:
How to sign a message?! - shorena

<...>

It’s specified in the content behind the second link provided right at the top of the OP, which specifies that you need to become at least a Jr. Member to bear a signature. The 2014 quote on signature restrictions is therefore no longer valid for the Newbie entry it encloses, which may be a bit confusing without going through the said link to obtain the complete context.

[un_rank]

If we can't have them, please update OP.

This will help to remove any confusion, cause this thread is pinned and will be read by tons of newbies looking for direction on the forum.
The author of the post is not active anymore, so maybe the admin can add an authors note to include that newbies can no longer wear signatures or also sticky the updated rules so they are easy to find.

That rule has already been explained in another topic as mentioned by DdmrDdmr right above your post, so I won't bother ask admin embed that rule again in this thread. If newbie want to get as much information as they need, then they should read it carefully and not miss anything on the first page.

After all, this thread was edited by the OP in 2020, so if the thread needs editing to remove something else, then he should have thought about it before it became inactive.

Why did my rank go from Senior to Junior member today?

The change from post count to activity?

I have already got 62 posts to my credit. Why I am still having one coin under my copper membership rank?

To rank up your account you need to get at least 1 merit. You can read more about it in this topic Merit & new rank requirements.

P.S. And yes, please don't violate the forum rules (p. 32).

32. Posting multiple posts in a row (excluding bumps and reserved posts by the thread starter) is not allowed.

If you want to add information, you don't need to create a new post, edit the old one.

Number of posts doesn't really matter much if one is continuously posting.  If one posts consistently for 2 weeks, they will get activity of 14 points. Doesn't matter if they have made 100 posts in that period.
To achieve a Jr member rank , you have to post continuously for at least more than a month

Jr Member = 30 activity points

yeah I knew about the 1 merit I did not know about the 30 days of steady posting rule. I must have missed that extra rule.


I have been talking with JesseJames13

on a few threads.

I'm happy I learned anything from the coin's post even if I was not aware of it. Since I'm new, I'm starting to get used to the forum lifestyle and I'm starting to enjoy it.

This is the third year of your presence on the forum, and you are still declaring yourself a newbie. Your pleasure has gone on too long; it’s time to decide in which local section to start publishing something smart. So far, I have seen your story in three languages.

There are limitations for a newbie account to post in archival?
I have a “brand new” account for testing purposes and I am trying to use it on a thread in archival, and it cannot post.
