Can someone tell me how the rank icons are calculated? I only found some hints but no real explanation. Time_registered and posts are counted, but how are they combined? Are there other factors?



This one was ezpz because I am in a good mood.

Your next clue is the distance in km between Seoul and Pusan.

You have a choice now. You can take the blue pill or the red pill and further burrow yourself in my madness.

Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

Forum icons are based on post count AND how long you've been registered on the site. For the most part, only Saro/Meat/Naz are privy to what the exact formula is for each icon upgrade. And no, they won't tell us the formula.

curious if the time registered just adds to your "score" or if its calculated to something like posts per week.. I might also (kinda) quote Ripley but I don't want to get off the ship, just an icon (:

Only two factors: the date that you registered and the total post count. Things like time registered and post per week are not calculated.

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

..which is calculated by a combination of your total posts, and how long you've been a member here at TL.net


This is what I already knew and mentioned as hints (fist post) but thanks. Guess, how long you need to be registered to get a marine with just 1 post, or is it even possible?

I would love to explain how it works but I don't know all the times you get upgraded. Plus this is supposed to be a secret too.

Upgrades depend on two things. They depend on the number of posts you have and how long you've been with TL.net. Just because you have a gazillion posts doesn't mean you can be a Wraith, but being with the site since 2002 and posting zilch don't mean much either.

I'll let you in on the first upgrade:
250 posts, 30 days.
Do your best, God will do the rest.

There are people that have those level icons but many of them have been veterans on TL.net for so long and have been actively posting that they've become staff and/or they have specialized icons now.
