A quick question about "rank"

Hi,

I was wondering how many posts you need to post before you move to the next "rank" - for example: Junior Poster, Posting Whiz, Guru Poster, etc.

Thanx.

If you have a quick question about rank then maybe I might have a quick answer for ya.

Junior Poster >= 0 posts
Posting Whiz >= 100 posts
Senior Poster >= 250 posts
Guru Poster >= 500 posts

The little stars under usernames are also post-related. You get a new star for every 1,000 posts.

good question... I think Dani picks them if they've been extremely prominent/helpful members of the Daniweb team over a long period of time. :cool:

Good contributing members get voted in (nominated) by other moderators on the team. They're then discussed behind the scenes, where the member's pros and cons are weighed, and then they're either accepted or not.

Yeah, server_crash is cool, maybe not mod cool tho', but who am I to say?

As for double posting, you can always edit your old posts to add something else in... :-|

Just wondering (not that I care too much about ranking), did newbie poster replace junior poster or is that a time based thing?

*edit: and sorry to revive this thread from the ages of old, didn't see it was over 2 years old :p

Junior Poster comes after Newbie Poster. You'll get there eventually :)

There's no guaranteed way to know since you have access to custom usertitles :)

Moderators can set custom user titles. You're a mod.

Maybe because you're a postaholic?

Have the ranks changed? In your post at the beginning Dani you said that you get to posting whiz >= 100 posts, well you only just get your junior poster at that point :P
