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

[Jeremycoin]

So exactly how is activity counted?  What counts as activity vs posts?  My profile says I have 25 posts and 24 activity.


Edit:

Nevermind, I found the answer here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

Wait, you're a newbie that wear an avatar?
Whether newbie used to be able to change their own avatar?

yes. up until late 2013.

I've had the account for a long time, just never posted much.  In fact, I was a Junior member before the rules change that reverted me to Newbie!

So, yeah, I have an avatar from way back!

Dat feel when you get excited about having 400+ activity, only to realize Legend is 480 and won't happen for nearly 3 months.

Yeah, legend is another 1.5 years (worst case).

I think the reason for 90% of the people that are eagerly waiting to rank up is due to them getting a higher signature rate.

Beside all the signature stuff there is no real benefit to become a hero or legendary.

maybe some more trust by newbies ("look at that coin, it's developed by a hero member! it must be good.")

Reference Of OP (John) I just wondering how many Administrators, Moderators, and Staffs the forum Have? It would be so nice if someone write a list and collect all staff and admins in the list.

Moderator = Staff.
It isn't too difficult to find out. All you have to do is search for members by position.
There are 2 admins and 25 staff.

What is criteria for hiring these Staff+Moderators is any way other then this forum or all came from here and need only experience and knowledge of this all stuff

this is a forum that supports the free-speech and lot of trade activity so knowledge (shown by the number of your good reports) is more important than experience outside of this forum IMO.
also theymos won't get a new staff unless there's a need of additional manpower. and obviously the track records of your account(s) counts too.

here's an admin's reply to a question much like yours.

Good report history, posts and actions that show you understand forum policy, activity (and when you are active could also play a part in it, mods at certain times could be more needed than others), etc. Being a good poster or trustworthy doesn't mean one would make a good moderator.

Finding mods for foreign language boards presents unique challenges, so there's no real set way to go about that. Sometimes it's by polls, sometimes it's just because a certain person has expressed an interest in moderating the board (either by their actions, or by "applying"), etc. It tends to be a more community driven decision, because acting like you know someone because you used google translate on their posts is dumb (though foreign language mods do need to be able to communicate with us in english).

oh I just understand that. thanks for the explanation.
why do brandnew, newbie and junior member have the same one coin?

Why does it matter ? If we increase for those low ranks , we will have to increase for the other higher ranks as well which will probably make it ugly . It's good as it is

Same here. One day I will have a shiny avatar spot to show people how classy I am...

[Sultan Tit]

That's a great thread for someone who is new here. Thanks a lot!

[g4vinshreds]

Those badges are swaggy.  Good job on em!

[ripplehd]

it has been 2 weeks and my activity has still stayed on 28. My posts are more than 28 so why is it like that

[Lutpin]

Because this post right now is your first post in the current activity period, your previous posts were all in the last activity period or that one before.
You have to make at least one post in an period to gain the activity (or potential activity) for said period.
Also don't forget it can take up to one hour (or sometimes even longer) for your activity to update.


There you go, activity: 42

I love the coins thing. I hope to see Satoshi and the five Platinum coins soon, but as far as I know he left the project a few years after Bitcoin was established.
