Seriously though why do people really care? Is there some big deal about the different ranks?
It's because more senior members are allowed to join the various campaigns and get paid in (alt)coins...
Unfortunately, this has led to an increase in account hacking and account sales and sales of hacked accounts...
And an influx of so-called "sigSpammers" who just shitpost to try and rank up and/or get paid... As the majority of campaigns are run on a "pay-per-post" basis.
Thankfully, a lot of the campaign manager's take their job seriously and will dump the spammers and others who barely speak English and/or just join the end of 4 page threads with a meaningless comment that proves that they either don't know what they are talking about, didn't read the OP and the previous answers, or both.
