You had 16 deleted posts in the past 30 days. That is 80 points lost... But not to fear, in a couple weeks your score will clean up as long as you make sure to post good, useful things.

Almost correct, but I remember cropped the list at 100 items (there were 5000+ that scored above a 1)...I think there will be lots more in the rank 4, like in the hundreds.

One thing I disagree with about the ranking is the 30 day system. It would be nice if I could move up the ranks to a #3ish slot (I think I'm in 4 now), but it wouldn't be so great if I had an off week and didn't post anything and I slid down to 4 or 5. In the same sense, those that are at #1 are almost like "Employees of the Month." You're it for only one month, and unless you keep working hard over the full 30 days it's gonna get handed to someone else. I don't know, maybe I have the whole thing wrong. My suggestion would be to have more ranks (it's not as big a deal to drop a slot in a 10 rank system) or maybe make the time period a bit longer, since judging a person's activity over say 60 days would be a more accurate measure than 30. Just some thoughts, lemme know whatcha think.

admin said before, ur score gets "refreshed" every night at midnight i think it was.

"They will also be generated every day at midnight BASED ON YOUR LAST 30 DAYS of data. So once you reach the top rank, you will have to stay active to keep it there. It will also mean that a newer member will have an equal stab at being top dog."
So the scores do get refreshed every night, but they consider the previous 30 days of data. So if you started on April 1st, May 1st's score would reflect activity during the entire month of April. May 2nd would include April 2nd to May 1st, May 3rd's score would be April 3rd to May 2nd, and so on. The score would be updated nightly, but it would be in reference to the member's previous 30 days of forum work.

Homer: "Oh. Well then just gimme a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles."
Well, not necesarily "forum work". Only 60% of the score is based on forum data. The rest comes from other things.
I can tell you this. If you are a fairly dedicated member, visit the site on a regular basis and at contribute well in our forums you will make a #1 or #2 spot. Even if you took a week off and the other 3 weeks were good this would be true.
I would say the biggest factor is making sure you don't get your stuff deleted...this is where you really lose points.

The next step is going to be to have everyone vote on the ones they like. Then we can at least get them up. Then if people want them changed we can work on that.
Give me at least 3-7 days though...

I know #6 may sound kinda lame, but the definition is "To travel often and widely, especially for sightseeing." seems to me if you're at the lowest rank, you probably don't post often and you just come to the site to look around.
I would like to cast a vote for my rankings
By the way, thanks for the info Admin. I have a quick question (I know this probably isn't the place to ask): Sometimes I click on links on the site that take me to places I don't intend to go, is this something only I experience or is it a known bug of the site? Sorry to get off topic.

I could have it done in 24-48 hours if I was not so busy. The tough part is alredy done - creating the ranking system. All I would have to do now is store the results and modify the forums to display the rank of the user (and the user info dialog).
I will try to get up a new sticky thread tonight or tomorrow that will allow us to vote on the rank names.

Of course you don't Murt....that is because you are not sitting in the #1 position. If memory serves me, you were one of the major people nagging me to get this done.
The ranks are a great way of recognizing those that contribute good, quality matierial to the site and don't fill our forums with useless posts. I think our ranking system will be one of a kind and unlike other sites, it will actually represent the members dedication.
Sorry the ranks will stay...

Have you decided on labels for ranks &
When's an estimated date we'll actually see them on our names. (if any)
"A good man knows his limits, a Great man knows he has none...."

I really don't like this whole idea of ranks...I mean, some people might take it as a competition, and it will put new players down....
rankings would just...not do too much for the site (for as much work as the take)
