Membership levels in these forums.

I'm sure this must be somewhere on these boards, but can someone please link or tell me the steps to achieving the different membership levels on this forum. Ty

It's linked in the "NEWBIE README" topic.

All the main ranks that can be handed out to normal users are: Brand New, Newbie, Jr. Member, Member, Full Member, Sr. Member, and Hero Member.
In addition to the main rankings, there are also sub-rankings that can be applied, and those are: SCAMMER, Donator, and VIP.
Finally, staff sub-rankings are as follows: Staff, Moderator, Global Moderator, Administrator, and Founder.

Rank	Description	Tag
Brand New:	0 posts, gets 1 gold coin under his name.
Newbie:	(none), gets 1 gold coin under his name.
Jr. Member:	1 post written over 4 hours ago, gets 1 gold coins under his name.
Member:	Activity: 15, gets 2 gold coins under his name.
Full Member:	Activity: 60, gets 3 gold coins under his name.
Sr. Member:	Activity: 200, gets 4 gold coins under his name.
Hero Member:	Activity: 400, gets 5 gold coins under his name.
Sub-Rank	Description	Tag
SCAMMER:	Manually applied by administration, regardless of post count and gets 5 red Xs under his name.
Donator:	Manually applied by administration after 10 BTC donation, and gets 5 gold coins under his name of which the last is half green. 5 coins are shown regardless of post count when user is a Donator.
VIP:	Manually applied by administration after 50 BTC donation, and gets 5 gold coins under his name of which the last is half purple. 5 coins are shown regardless of post count when user is a VIP.
Staff Rank	Description	Tag
Staff:	Shown when moderators (see next point) post outside of the sections that they moderate. Always shows 5 gold coins.
Moderator:	Shown when moderators of specific sections post within those sections. Gets 5 gold coins, of which the last is shown as half faded-out green.
Global Moderator:	Applied to Staff that have moderation privileges in all boards. Gets 5 gold coins, of which the last is half teal colored.
Administrator:	Has all available permissions and can appoint moderators and perform other administrative tasks. Gets 5 gold coins, of which the last is shown half red regardless of post count.
Founder:	Reserved for Satoshi, gets 5 platinum coins under his name.

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 30 minutes.

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.

Thanks for this as well.  I was always curious exactly what the different levels and activity represented.

malevolent, thanks as for that was very helpful.  I was wondering, how is activity calculated?  I'm pretty sure that's somewhere on the forum too.

It's explained in the post quoted above.

Basically, you just have to post at least once per 14 days and your activity will increase by 14 units.

Hi,

Is it possible to adjust the valuation of BTC donation? 10 BTC donation would be around $4,000 as of today's BTC valuation.

No, and there are no plans to do that. AFAIK forum isn't really in a need of more money so it doesn't matter that there's a lower demand for the Donator/VIP titles. Current Donator/VIP title holders paid in BTC, and the amount (in BTC) will remain unchanged for prospective donators.
