Peter Johnson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just wondering, how do you get certain ranks like member, or citizen, and all that stuff. And, what do you get with certain ranks? :afro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relapse Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 For the most part, ranks are just for fun- they change the more you post. Some accomplished members have custom ranks achieved by seniority or achievements. If you are premier, they also come with a rank image that varies widely.Hope that helps. BZPRPG ProfilesIC: "It comes with the job," Halfimus explained, "I'm not paid enough to give anything outside quick flavour descriptions." So pay me more AuRon.

Sumiki Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) You're talking about your member group. Everyone's a member unless they get a full Proto bar (which makes your name orange and your group "Outstanding BZPower Citizens" or purchase Premier Membership (which makes your name bold and puts you in the "Premier Member" group. Other groups can be achieved by being banned or being promoted to the ranks of the Staff. Ranks, for the record, are seen underneath your member group and are tied to your post count. Premier Members get images to go along with the ranks. For the record The Q&A Compendium is a good place to look if you have questions like this - the answers to the most common questions can be found within that vital resource. (It's also pinned to the top of the forum.) Edited July 29, 2013 by Sumiki avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) The second half of this post in the Compendium ("Posts" section) and this post should answer your question. Let me know if you need further clarification! Edited July 29, 2013 by -Windrider- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) For the most part, ranks are just for fun- they change the more you post @windrider How many posts do I need to get to a new rank? (On yours, Windrider, I'm talking about the grey thing below "Premier Forum Leaders") Edited July 29, 2013 by TreloManka :afro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 So, traditionally the post counts associated with each rank are kept a secret to encourage people to post. However, you can get a good idea by looking at other people's ranks. Some members, like me, have a custom rank. Mine corresponds to having been on the staff for three or more years. Other members might get them as contest prizes or for truly outstanding deeds, but this is very rare indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ah, So I guess it might be about...ten posts for the next "rank" :afro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznas Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) That's for you to find out! But in general, ranks change every 100 posts or so. The span in between ranks gets higher and higher as it goes. -Rez Edited July 29, 2013 by -Reznas- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 When I first got on I thought the grey letters were a custom message for you to put on, because there are so many XD :afro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Six Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ah, So I guess it might be about...ten posts for the next "rank"You'll have to wait and see. They are at pretty regular intervals, so you shouldn't feel like you're stuck at a rank for too long.I think that hopefully covered everything, so I'm going to lock this up.
