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

[TheQuin]

hello admin,
My post activity is 126.But still in the member position can you please explain me.

Your inability to read the information provided and unnecessary use of coloured text. Those two factors together mean you are destined to remain at Member rank forever.

It is theymos fault, you should blame him for not banning all of you ico spammers.
Or maybe you just need to say Abracadabra so these shiny gold, hidden by theymos, pop out from the hat.
Or maybe you have to read the first lines in this topic where you posted your words...

Ranks

Update on 2/3/18: Merit points are now added
In addition to the activity points, merit points (click for more information) are required to advance your ranking.

Can I donate BTC somewhere and get The Jr. Member status? So many bounty programs are starting from only Jr. members...I am feeling so left out

You can upgrade to Copper member[1]. This is going to allow you to post images and also lift some restrictions in your your signatures.

Hey this is a great link. Thanks a lot. But the general hierarchy I don't see copper member. Is it higher than Jr. member? If an alt coin is giving bounty and only Jr. members and up can apply, can the copper member also apply?

No, Copper member is only an option that will allow you to post images, increase your daily private message and reduce the waiting time between each post.
You cannot get the next rank without the required activity (for members and more, you will need merit points too).

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 hour.

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.
malevolent - update: added info about the new rank, changes to the Staff rank tag, removed the deprecated "SCAMMER" sub-rank. Also included info about the posting limits.

Signature restrictions

There are restrictions on signatures, based on your activity/rank.

- Newbie: No styling (including links) allowed. Max 50 characters.
- Jr. Member: Max 150 characters.
- Member: Links allowed. Unlimited length.
- Full: Color allowed.
- Sr. Member: Size allowed
- Hero: Background color allowed

Badges

I added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges:

https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/expert.png 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.
https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/qt.png 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.
https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/hacker.png The Glider(hacker symbol)	Awarded for people who have responsibly disclosed forum security flaws.

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.

Limits on posting

Code:

waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

Limits on PMs

I've adjusted the limits to make spamming more difficult.

Activity	Min. seconds between post actions	Max PM recipients	PMs per hour
0	360	3	5
16	74	5	30
30	60	5	60
60	30	5	60
100	12	10	120
200	10	15	120
300	8	20	120

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.

Get a real life job and when you get back home from work, read the forum rules and see what the others are talking about, search for tutorials and ask for help if needed in your local language section or topic.

That is true, also its easier to loose money than make if you do something wrong or get scammed. Thanks for the info. As I understand merit points you get if others find your comment useful. In realistic terms, has earning merit points become difficult these days?

[TheQuin]

Thread link of how to use signature in profile and earn stakes?

You already seem to have worked out how to put your mETH address in your signature. To use that to earn anything you will need to be able to put a URL in it and that doesn't happen until you reach the rank of Member. Try reading the opening post of this thread to find out what you need to do to achieve that. Then reconsider what you are trying to do here.

[shilpy275]

Can anyone explain:
"The activity number is determined in this way:

Activity is updated every hour."
Here what is "min" and "time"

Go back and read the whole OP, especially focussing on the first 2 lines. There are other requirements that you don't meet.

Honestly do not understand the meaning of all this? It's all very confusing. In the table, everything is simple. Could you answer clearly to me? When will the rank change? Thank you.

Rather obviously, from that table you copied when your merit score is 100. If reading a simple table is beyond your ability then I very much doubt you will have anything to say that someone deems worthy of giving merit too.  From a quick look at your last couple of pages of post history you are only here to collect Twitter and Facebook bounties, so remaining a Member should not stop you.

I need to hurry to get "jr member" state.
Beside post more non scam msg, any advice?

You can't gain more than 14 activity in a period of 14 days so slow down, you can't get there any faster.
