Infographic for Newbies

[sncc]

I have made an infographic about the current rank up system of the forum.
While I have posted it in this thread in Meta, it would be also useful to share it here for Newbies.

You can find other infographics listed in the OP of Merit & new rank requirements
( paxmao's infographic, ibminer's infographic, 8Habits's infographic, JetSet11's infographic, zentdex's infographic, alia_armelle's infographic )
but I tried to make more graphical, intuitive, and reader-friendly infographic.
When you want to use them in your post, please quote my original threads: the current thread or this thread in Meta.

Hope it is helpful.  Enjoy the forum!

I'm taking a look at the info-graphic and I've got a few things that stick out at me upon first glance. This is just my opinion, not sure if anybody else would feel this way, but I noticed you put time-frames next to the rank up chart and I'm assuming you did this based off of activity; I would suggest you add a disclaimer or explanation somewhere that would include the required amount of merit one would have to gain and at what pace to maintain this time-frame. For example, mentioning "*Times are assuming you receive merit at a rate that will not halt the progress of your activity rank-ups, 1-Merit per day", I haven't done the math, because I'm on the run, but I think I explained my point. I point this out, because newbies may be unaware that you will never rank-up unless you receive merit and in order to become a Member you would need 1-merit per week or something like that to not slow down your rank.

I do not like the over-lapping charts for Merit/Activity, but I understand why you did it. The style just is a bit rough on the eyes, for me. I would like to have seen them separately displayed, because they are indeed separate systems and this gives the impression they are somehow intertwined.

I got a big chuckle out of the stock photos used to visualize the system. I have to say that when I opened the link, I wasn't expecting much, but you've done very well.

Thanks for your opinion, yes I wrote the minimum necessary times as I have seen many people ask about it.
The times are written in blue font, the same color as Activity, with which I was trying to imply that those times are minimum necessary time for Activity, but taking into your feedback I will reconsider its presentation.

I know your point as I tried independent graphs in the previous version but to me it looks more concise to display them together, and I end up with the current form.

I know what you mean, there are so many posts about this, so I hope my infographic can become the last one, after which everyone understands the system.
I am happy to hear you agree with my point and had some laugh

Thank you, sncc, for your infographics (I knew this one is not your first one). It is just my opnion, I don't really think that infographics can make better, or clearer explanations about technical terms (in the case merit system's mechanism). All necessary stuffs have been explained there:
Merits and new rank requirements
Infographics in specific cases require lots of space for each thread, which make readers a little bit uncomfortable, stretching their eyes to read all the infographics-included posts.

I don't thinks this one is great ideas. Only lazy readers/ users (most of them spammers and/ or English-impaired users) like infographics.
