Activity & new membergroup limits

[Minnlo]

I have had several periods when I received more than 14 points in one single 2 week period.  Does anybody know how I did that or how that happened?  Clearly the 14 points variable has other options but I have never seen anything discussed about it.

Does anybody know anything about this?  Thx.

Regards...

i got 28 in just 4 days 

Because you joined bitcointalk in a good timing.

You joined on August 18 and made some posts on that day.
A new 2-week period starts on Aug 19 and you have made some more posts since then.
So, you have been active in 2 different periods and have a "time" value of 2 in the activity formula.

My stats didn't update. How it happened?!

If its true that your activity didnt update its probably because you posted before the new period started so youll now just have to wait an hour for it to update since youve just posted.

Ok, activity now updated, but I am still full member. Strange...

Update: well, =) seems this post was necessary.

Yes. You activity isn't going to go up automatically when a new period comes.
You need to make a post, hence increase the "time" value by 1, and wait for at most an hour for the activity to be updated.

if it already went up by 14 in the current 2 week period, you have to wait until the next period starts and the current one ends. so if you made 28 posts now basically you gained the 14 activity, then when the next period starts you will instantly gain another 14 activity. that is the most basic way i can explain it, but u only go up 14 activity per 2 week period.

Wrong.

You can try it yourself. Just don't make any post after Sept 2 09:26:40 GMT, and no matter how much time you wait, your activity won't go up automatically.

The max at the moment is Hero member wonder if the admins and mods will consider adding a higher level?

They already have (Legendary). It comes sometime before 1000 activity (slightly randomized for each user).

Yes you are right! Is it applied manually by Theymos or is there any algorithm behind it for random choosing?

Actually, this is a very interesting question. I too wonder.

Cool but I doubt I can get 1000 that fast......

It's an algorithm.

Scroll back to post 595 in this thread and you'll find:

Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient.

Code:

update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and
activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concat(ID_MEMBER,
secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10);

Would be nice to have the number of legendary, Hero ect. members and a list of them

The ranks are sorted alphabetically there so you could try work it out if you can be bothered.

Maybe have a "spammer" tag

[BadBear]

No need for that, spammers get banned, and often get negative feedback as well.

on the typical forums yes, but i frequent the Alt Section, which for for the most part has no moderation, there is just too much traffic and not enough mods to do the "banning".

I doubt mods really read ALL the feedback, it's just too much i think. Increasing the number of mods has been suggested, but unfortunately, most of the candidates have ulterior motives.

Adding a tag wouldn't do anything for this issue, since tags are added by us. If we're looking into a user enough to add a tag we'd just ban them.

Alt currencies will probably get a moderator, though likely from the current pool of staff (should eliminate concerns of ulterior motives which is a strong possibility when considering "outside" candidates). I was against it at first for various reasons I don't really want to talk about, but overall it's probably better to have one.

quite right, i've resorted to self-moderated topics now, better to mod my own areas of interest. Yeah, the alt section used to be fun but now it's a mess. with the clones, it stopped being hilarious a long while back.

I rarely (if ever), go to that section of the forum. There is way too much to sift through before finding anything worthwhile in my opinion. I have seen some good ideas every know and then, but it is too much work reading it all

SO true, that entire sub forum needs a team of mods if it's going to in anyway resemble the rest of the forum. From spammers to scammers and completely pointless posts it's just awful. There is total anarchy (has pros and cons) which now results in most people just avoiding it altogether.

I have 30+ post and only 14 activit dunno exact how this work

[monnecon]

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.

The new membergroup limits work like this:

Group	Requirement
Brand New	0 posts
Newbie	(none)
Jr. Member	activity: 30
Member	activity: 60
Full Member	activity: 120
Sr. Member	activity: 240
Hero Member	activity: 480

I'm not 100% sure that the membergroups work correctly. Tell me if you see any bugs.

Kind of annoying cause i have posted 30 plus posts and im still newbie
