My user title

[CognitiveTruth]

My title used to be "Advanced Member". Now it is just "Member". Why did it change? I was under the assumption that you became an Advanced Member once you posted 100 times. I have 126 posts.

That's odd. Maybe you got demoted by IHL or one of the Mods?

I thought the title was directly proportional to the number of things you post -

New member - 0 - 5
Junior member - 5 - 19
Member - 20 - 99
Advanced member - 100 - 249
Senior member - 250+

The mods do not have the ability to change your status.

Yeah, I'm guilty - nothing personal against anyone. When I started this whole thing the values assign to become Advanced Member etc were very high by default. I don't remember the numbers but no would would be anywhere near the top of the list which was unrealistic for the size of the site at the time.

As members grew and the number of posts grew I modified the numbers to get them back up a little bit. They are still well below the defaults. I did this so that not every member of the site became an Advanced Member in a week or two.

So if it appears you were 'demoted', you weren't. Again, nothing personal I'm just trying to get it to a reasonable number.

And yes, your ranking is directly proportional to the number of posts you make. The reputation number is not however. That is based on votes from other members and I can manually change that number also.

Is there anything above a senior member?
