Popular Post Lacessit Posted February 21 Popular Post Share Posted February 21 I recently noticed what I think is an anomaly in membership rankings. There are Star Members, Ruby Members, etc. How these rankings are allocated is shrouded in mystery. I am an Advanced Member. Over the years, I have made more than 23,000 posts. The positive responses to those posts are about 14,000 above that. There is another Advanced Member. I can only describe him/her/it as the village idiot. They have made 673 posts, mostly trolling garbage. Not that I care. However, excuse me for thinking the membership ranking system is ridiculous. 1 2 7 4 1 9 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily scoop up 20+ in a day by baiting TrumpTrash till they pathetically physically threaten me. Or I can write a long, informative paragraph about Thai food and get nothing. It's basically bread and circuses without the bread part here. 4 4 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpers are like shooting fish in a barrel. I doubt any of them got to a tertiary education. 2 2 6 1 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old days, they would poke a retard in the village with sticks and stuff -really, how am I any better? And they're so Johnny One-note. Typical exchange: Trump Trash: <non-specific, butt hurt muttering, life's unfaiiiir> Me: Got any proof?

Love ya, and hope to lift a glass in Chiang Rai with you in '24, BUT icon-guessing is sort of too into it for my vibe. Like the person you're citing. 'Can't fault him or it; being into this nutty little watering hole at all is mildly indefensible. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must spend all day on AN?......23000 posts that's roughly 10 posts a day for 8 years every day. For what it's worth, seeing as how you went to the trouble of posting but don't care....I think you should be a super-extra-golden star member for giving up your whole life to AN. 1 2 1 3 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably simple math, something like total posts / positive emoticons. The fix would be total posts x 100 / positive emoticons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that recent discussions where some members made it clear that confused and sad emojis upset them has led to a lot more confused and sad emojis being posted. I know i post more of them since knowing that they bug some people. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Not sure how the ranking system works. What i do know is that, while my personal details are showing that I've made 4k approx postings, I have in fact made more than double that. Not that it matters...
