I got to carrier without having any knowledge/interest of how many posts to the next icon. I suggest you do the same (well you don't have to get to carrier)

If I told you I'd have to kill you.

Fine with me. If it ever changes again in the future it will probably be for the worse.

It's a secret and you're not supposed to ask. You can figure it out if you pay attention.

Lol

I think its the amount you've posted along with the amount of time you've been with TL

Or something like that.

It is pretty easy to figure out if you just go through some threads and look at how many posts people have and what icon they have.

To answer the question in the thread title, it's so we have an easier time discriminating against the newer people. Obviously.

Calculating you Rank Icon.

1) Apply you the inverse reciprocal of the your post count relative to the negative regulatory buffer zone of your days spent reading posted and time spent typing posts.

[image loading]


2) Using this graph, plot you result.
- if you result lands in the gradient part, you are close to being promoted to the next rank
- if you are in the white hoop, you have a ways to go yet
- if you are outside the bounds, you have been banned

hope this helps
