the ranking system (1 Viewer)

I was looking at the ranking system here, and noticed that its a bit arbitrary.

User 0-24 posts

Student 25-124 posts

Advisor 125-499 posts

Educator 500-999 posts

Professor 1000-1999 posts

Guru 2000+ posts

and the 5k icon at 5000

there isnt any mathematical patturn to the numbers. I was wondering if its possible to change that?

there are two ways I would do it. either by increasing the rank whenever the number of posts dubbles, or whenever it increases by a certain amount.

for example it could be
User 0-149 posts

Student 150-299 posts

Advisor 300-599 posts

Educator 600-1199 posts

Professor 1200-2399 posts

Guru 2400+ posts

with the 5K icon added at 5000 still. dubbling 2400 would be close to that anyway.

or it could be done like this:

User 0-849 posts

Student 850-1699 posts

Advisor 1700-2549 posts

Educator 2550-3399 posts

Professor 3400-4249 posts

Guru 4250+ posts

and the 5k icon at 5000.


I personally like the first idea where the numbers dubble better, sinse I tend to catagorise everyone with more then 1000 posts in the same group anyway.

:rofl

one of my friends is always getting on my case for doing things in weird but specific ways.
 
Yeah, when I came up with the #'s - they really do not form a good trend.

But, a goal was to get a "colored" icon soon. I elected at 25 posts.

What would be a good deviation for starting at 25 post and ending at 50K?
5k, 10k, and 50k have unique rank pics as well.
 
Just make a donation, and you can put what ever you like there.;)

It is tempting, but then I'd be living a lie. I'm not a liar, or a stool-pigeon, or a racist, or anti-american, or any of that.

I actually suggested 150 instead of 25 on purpose. There are a lot of people that sign up for this site, make a few posts, and then are never heard from again. there are 23 members that have between 24 and 26 posts. only 3 of them have posted within the last month, and only 7 have sinse jan 1st. so having 25 posts doesnt really mean anything. there are 17 members with between 140 and 160 posts, and 8 of those have posted within the last month, and 15 have sinse jan 1st. so, 150 posts means that there's a decent chance that your still around.

Making fun of others' post numbers?...

Anything you'd like to say to me?...:cool:
 
Just in case anyone cares- The top 30 posters combine for 111,000 posts, about 42% of the posts on here. That might seem like a lot, but its actually not. I remember adding that up almost a year ago, and it was something like 95% of the posts. As we get bigger, we're getting broader. woo.

Damnit man... throwing logic where there is none. How dare you!

Got quite a few usergroups to go through...

There are no *new* ones, but now they show the rank images during selection.
I hope this helps folks as often I get PM's asking what the torch is or what the eagles are.
