How many posts does it take to make each rank? Please tell me so i can write it down!
I NEED TO KNOW OR ELSE...
Thank you for your kindness.

I think it's every 100 posts. Don't go about spamming to get the next rank or you will be banned.

Thanks.

its every 100 posts gets a rank, untill 1000. then every 1000 posts til 10,000. then you gotta hope to become staff to get the rank to ever change after 10k posts

Indeed they are. Before I came on staff, I always kept an eye on my Rank, it was cool seeing what it would change to each time. Now, I don't know what my Rank would be if it didn't say "News Crew".

aha, i see. Well, oh well.

So what are the ranks? I remember a post long ago that listed each rank and the associated post-count, but I can't find it now. And why isn't this information in the FAQ?

there used to be an attempt at compilating all the ranks, but idk what happened to it

Let me take a crack at it. I'm gonna look up every single member until I fill that list:

0: Mini-Con
50: Micromaster
100: Minibot
200: Fuzor
300: Vehicon
400: Combiner
500: Headmaster Jr.
600: Targetmaster
700: Pretender
800: Transmetal Warrior
900: Gestalt Team Leader
1000: Headmaster
1250: Brainmaster
1500: Godmaster
2000: Gestalt
3000: City Commander
4000: Faction Commander
5000: Guardian of Seibertron
10,000: God of Transformers

Ok, that was easy...

I would be on board for custom ranks.

Mine would say 'God of Transformers' 'cept for this crummy Moderator thing.

Trade ya

Thanks, guys!

Custom titles are cool, but I'm rather fond of this ranking setup, too.

I used to care about my rank until somewhere around 500 posts.

Back in the day there was an official list you could find somewhere.

And when you hit 1,000 posts (I think it was), Ryan doled you out a custom avatar.

Primus, I'm so old.

I used to enjoy seeing my titles change and liked it every time I went another 100 up, but ranks are deceptive. There are some members for instance who've been here for a while that maybe only make an average of a post every day or 2 but always have interesting things to contribute while others talk a lot and say little. Then there are those who hang mainly in the "game" threads and post approximately every 6 seconds - as long as they're having fun that's great for them but just because one member has 7,000 posts and one has 650 doesn't make one member "better" than the other.

That's very true. Thankfully, most of the people here at seibs are very open/welcoming and treat everyone the same, regardless of post count.

Something kinda interesting that I have noticed: we at the News Crew seem to get more news notification emails from people who don't post as often, rather than from those with several thousand posts. I don't know how accurate that really is because I haven't seen the actual numbers or anything, but it is something that I have noticed lately from reading news posts contributed by board members.

I guess that's just a sign that everybody here contributes in some way, and I for one am really proud of our community here at Seibertron.com.
