Rank with less activity than needed ?

[ahmedjamal1998]

Hi.

Quick question.
I came across a member called  aTriz who has an activity of 476 which is exactly like me.
But he happens to have the rank of a hero member while I'm senior.

According to my info, hero is at 480. I'll be hero in a few days but this is just something that caught my attention

Hero Member, Newbies and Legendary members do not lose their rank if activity dips below the threshold. This has been talked about before and if you decide to investigate, a simple search in Meta will allow you to find the threads of notability.

I've been on this forum for about two years and have never heard of an activity dip. And this reply made me believe so as well.

Ah, so activity cannot decrease. Good to know.

Anyway I read that it can drop if posts are trashed or deleted ? Just trying to understand how things work.

Activity can drop, yes. If a post that is necessary for potential activity within a given period is deleted (either voluntarily or not) then the user's activity declines respectively. If you consider the following: I have 28 activity, comprised of 1 post in my first activity period and 27 in my second... If the single individual post is deleted then my potential activity is reduced by 14, making the total 14 as well.

Well thanks for the useful info then. We've learnt a new thing today
I'm locking this thread up as I got what I needed.
