What do the various ranks mean in the community forums?

[Jonathan David Arndt]

Well, I seem to have attained the highly desired rank of "Chocobo (+20)".

But what does it mean? is there a list of the various ranks? (A quick search on this forum, and even a Google search revealed nothing.)

it's talking about post count (i believe it's listed as 'content count' under your profile).

Yes, it does clearly change with the number of posts. What ranks can be obtained? Is there a list of all rankings, and how many posts (or content count) must be made to attain a particular rank?

i don't see a memberlist anymore to compare content counts. you can go through profiles by hand based on the leaderboard tab up top of the forum, though.

It looks like there has been a change to the forums, and there are now 14 ranks from "Newbie" up to "Grand Master". But it looks like everyone (including DJP) have the "Newbie" rank.

What are these all about?

Invision added new "ranks" based on forum participation. There's some gamification like achievements. It was all added by default as a part of a recent forum upgrade. We haven't done any customization of it. Might explore these systems once we do more robust workshop implementation. For now, it's not really relevant.

If I lose my rank and get busted down to Newbie because of someone I've never met is mucking around in the code, I'm going to shit bricks until I can build an entire village of brick houses for low-income families that are not eligible for state financial assistance to contain my rage.

Rage!
