member levels

Just a question and not sure if it goes here, but what's with the "junior member", "member" "senior member" and all that stuff? Is it based on how many posts like on ubuntuforums or by how long you've been on the forum or what? thanks.

i do not know why it is important but from what I could see it seems as follows:

0-30 posts jr member
30-100 posts member
100+ posts sr member

and maybe with a 1000 posts you will get to be a gold plated platinum super senior elite member, who knows?

This is part of vB, and it might help new users decide who they can trust, and who they can't

Attaining "senior" at 100 posts is err..

Well let's say I'm raking in 10,000-15,000 in certain other forum

thanks for the reply's. I was just wondering if they had to do with something like if a person was more active in the project or something, or if it just went on the amount of posts.

i'd say the rankings could be adjusted:

-taking in account membership time,
-user rankings, credits from other users for helping +1 / -1
-post numbers:

jr mbr 0-250
mbr 250-1000
sr mbr 1000+
elite guru with l33t skillz 2500+

You can always know whom to trust from their replies.

If only - unfortunately the world is full of nasty trolls and hobbitses that come and wreck havoc with their nasties!

In other words there are idiots out there who make nice posts and give completely false information in them just to stir problems.
