Profile status ?

gauravag · February 20, 2010, 01:40:53 PM

Just noticed that my status changed from Forum Hero to Senior Member. Did this happen because i crossed the 500 mark ? I guess Forum Hero was the top rank here on RCI ?

well i was also just going to start a thread on this

i went through the members area a found out 250+ is forum hero and 500+is senior member

earlier it was 100+ senior member and 250+ forum hero

i think mr.Anwar must have changed the positions but forgot to change the stars

is it so??

anwar · February 20, 2010, 03:19:00 PM

Fixed

ankur · February 20, 2010, 03:25:43 PM

bad to see myself back to post of senior member with 4stars

ankur · February 20, 2010, 03:26:54 PM

and i think the name'full member ' is not something good
rest all names are fine but this doesn't makes any sense

anwar · February 20, 2010, 04:09:41 PM

Well, there was some sense ("someone who is fully participating")

It has now been changed to "Active Member"

ankur · February 20, 2010, 04:12:27 PM

thats now much better

Anwar, Why is Gaurav still a forum Hero after 500+ posts, when Iam already past forum hero and became a senior member?

ankur · February 22, 2010, 07:16:54 PM

new criteria
250+-senior member
500+forum hero

so u and me who were for some time forum heroes came back to senior member

Above 250 posts = Senior and above 500 posts = Forum hero

I had those reversed for a little while, which has since been fixed.

And what do these "name"s mean anyways

Just be around, reporting what you are doing, and helping others in whatever way you can. The rest is all immaterial

ankur · February 22, 2010, 07:19:51 PM

it doesn't means anything but most of us[including me] have a general sense of asking questions and clearing such doubts

anwar · February 22, 2010, 07:24:27 PM

I am not against that at all. If the "name" provides an additional bit of satisfaction (or is it recognition?) for people who spend a lot of time here (mostly helping others), I am all for that. May be that is what I was thinking when I came up with those names.

But end of the day, they are immaterial and "you are who you are"

And while you are here, don't forget to enjoy yourself!

Cheers!
