PPD of 14. But no Heroic. I need to Link my GT to it's original owner.


Indeed.

It's been said/speculated multiple times that linking your gamertag to your Bungie.net profile you give you a significant boost in TP.

Hopefully, I'll probably get my Heroic on December 15th (which I doubt).

Does anyone know how many months it takes for some user to recover from a ban?

It might depend on the length of the ban, but I got Heroic about four-five months after my five-month ban was over.

It was a 30-day ban which ended in the beginning of September.....

What number of posts is considered a "high post count"?

February was my last 2 week ban. I got my Heroic back 1-2 months later. But I have been a Heroic since.

ooga booga boooh

Here are a few things about me I find interesting in regards to member title:
-Joined Last June
-Banned 6 or 7 times
-Did not post for quite some time after creating profile
-Last ban was earlier this year
-Started a group, deleted it
-Probably have 1 million reports to my posts
-On upwards of 1-2 hours a day.

Member title:
-In less than 2 months, I've saw roughly 4 different member titles.
-Went from Member, to heroic, to intrepid legendary, down to intrepid heroic, and now back to intrepid legendary.
-Before September, I've never had any title prefix whatsoever.

I find that even if I leave BNET for a day or two, my member title will play ping pong. It is quite an odd thing how this works.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

You might have read my original theory from the OP about "Trust Points.". I missed a few key points and I have decided to update it a bit.

A great bit of my reasoning comes from reading ***Trust is calculated daily, which could be a reason as to why member's titles change.

Trust Points
A members title is based off of a semi-automated system as told by Achronos. From this information, I believe a new member to Bungie.net starts with 0 / 2250 Member Points. In order to rank up on the public forums, you must earn "Trust Points" or TPs. Trust Points are positive points added to a persons total Member Points for activity and good behavior. Trust Points are also automated, trust points are issued daily. Their are certain criteria you must stay within in order to receive TPs. Here is a list of how I believe TPs are issued:
One day of activity/logging in -- +5 TPs
One post -- +0.1 TPs
One month of good behavior(no bans or warnings) -- +50-75 TPs
One month of report-free posts/threads -- +15-20 TPs
Statistics

Following this chart, I would say the average member is active about 4 days a week. So a year of activity/logging in 4 times a week gives you about 1040 TPs.

I would say the average member posts about 10-25 times a day.
So posting 15 times a day, 4 days a week for a year gives you about 312 TPs.

A full year, or twelve months, of good behavior would give you about 780 TPs.

A full year, or twelve months, of report free posts/thread would give you about 240 TPs.

According to all of this information, if you followed as I listed above you would have about 2400 TPs at the end of the year. Here is my predictions of how much TP you need for each title:
Member -- 0 - 2249 Member Points
Heroic Member -- 2250 - 4499 Member Points
Legendary Member -- 4500 - 6749 Member Points
Mythic Member -- 6750 + Member Points
The point range for title are constantly changing according to Achronos --This isn't hard to understand: the number that underlies the title is relative to the rest of the userbase. As in, your title is determined by what your score is in relation to the person with the highest score for that day. So... if the maximum score goes up further than you go up in the same time period (even if you didn't do anything wrong like get a warning or ban), you can easily lose your title.

On average, "Heroic Member" takes anywhere from half a year to a year to reach.

"Legendary Member" takes anywhere from a year and a half to 2 years to reach..

Mythic Member" takes anywhere from 2 and a half to 4 years to reach.

These time-spans coordinates with the required TP chart above.

Modify Points
So after the system of Trust Points I just went over, the other half of the system that is user-controlled by the administrators is based on "Modify Points" or "MPs". MPs are points manually added to a members Member Points count and count as negative points torwards your total Member Points count. Say you have 1000 TPs and you get a three day ban and an administrator subtracts 100 MPs and brings your total down to 900 TPs. When you are banned, warned, or an issue with one of your posts/threads comes up, your Member Points count is penalized by MPs. Here is some of my thoughts on how MPs work:
Thread locked/deleted -- +25 MPs (-25 Member Points)
Warning -- +100 MPs (-100 Member Points)
3-6 day ban -- +200 MPs (-200 Member Points)
7-13 day ban -- +400 MPs (-400 Member Points)
14-29 day ban -- +600 MPs (-600 Member Points)
30-59 day ban -- +800 MPs (-800 Member Points)
60-89 day ban -- +1000 MPs (-1000 Member Points)
90+ day ban -- +1500 MPs (-1500 Member Points)

1 week of inactivity -- +50 MPs (-50 Member Points)
1 month of inactivity -- +250 MPs (-250 Member Points)
MPs have a much stronger effect on your total Member Point count so they should be avoided if you are wanting to rank up to a higher title.

Also, as stated by Achronos, there is a certain total of members that can hold a certain title. Say the title of "Mythic Member" is full and you have enough Member Points to be a "Mythic Member", but you are still "Legendary". You will have to wait for a member with the higher title to drop down a rank for you to go up.

Nice theory.

This part seems to make the most seance to me. So if I have "6751TPs", -enough for a Mythic Member- but the lowest current Mythic Member has "6752", I would have to surpass him (Reach 6753+) or let him go down (he reaches 6750-), to go up to a Mythic.

Something like that. Chunkymonkey is the most-fluctuating title holder of the Mythics, suggesting that he is the "lowest" Mythic.

My title hasn't changed in over half a year, so I'm pretty sure that I'm a "mid", if not "high" Mythic.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

:( my Heroic went away.

Then again, I was inactive for 5 days. How long should it take to get back?

Every time I leave for a week or more, it normally takes about two to three days (posting about 5 times each day) to earn my Heroic status back.

I still think over posting in the main forums doesn't help you, regular posting of a lower amount i feel anyways is more benefical in gaining trust.
