No, the site administrator has set criteria for member titles. Buy him beer and he may tell you...or he may just take the beer and run.

Isn't that the webmaster you're referring to?

Anyway yeah, there is a set criteria that nobody knows about, except Achronos and the webteam.

Just a weird thing I thought I should point out:

I've been going from Exalted Member to Exalted Heroic Member and back again for a while now. It seems that when I get on to post after school, I am back to an Exalted Member, and when I get off for the night I'm an Exalted Heroic Member.

Is this the intended behavior of the prefix, or am I just teetering on the edge of Member and Heroic Member?

Thanks,

is a computer manage all the prefixs when you should go up or something?

It is. It has to do with your Title, actually. It just means that you're bouncing between the requirements for Member, and Heroic Member. It doesn't have to do with your Prefix. :)

I will agree with you on the concept. I'm a Veteran with no added member title due to my 1 and only ban which happend in Dec. 2009. It was a 5 or 3 day ban, I can't remember.

How long does it take to "shake" away a ban in your history. It's months, not weeks or days. I'm thinking the length of time which prevents your member title from advancing is as follows:

3-day ban: 3 months
7-day ban: 7 months
etc.

You HAVE to "do your time" until you advance your member title up. Activity during this waiting period is important I suppose, even though I have been here for 4 years, once the ban wears off, I won't automatically go to Mythic. Of course your trust points are obviously still counted during this time, however their impact will not be felt until the ban history wears off.


So, what is the shake-off time for a warning, or does it even count at all?

I'm not sure that a warning counts. Only a ban would count.

While I don't agree with his statistics, yes, warnings do effect your trust..

There is no predetermined amount that a warning can affect ones trust. The amount a warning hurts your trust rating and how long it takes to recover from warnings depends on various factors like account age, activity, etc.

I don't think it works this way.

I think the time since your last ban increases your trust. It'd all fit into an equation.

something like:

All other factors/(number of bans/time since last ban)

This way the factor of the bans that decreases your trust will slowly lower therefore increasing your trust.

I'm not saying it's exactly like this, it's just probably something similar. I don't think the time of the ban itself effects the possibility of a rankup. If your trust remains over a certain level, you will gain your new rank. If it goes below that level, you will lose it. (Although there have been very few "higher ranking" accounts banned, so it's difficult to really test this). The recentness of the ban significantly decreases your trust, though.

Standard.

Two things:

- Does private group activity have any relation to the trust rating?. For example, if you were a moderator of a very large group, say around 6000 members (random large number generation), would your trust rating increase? Or bans cause decrease? Maybe this is one of the reasons we are not allowed to know the ins and outs, otherwise someone could potentially create thousands of bungie.net accounts and make themselves the admin to improve their "trust". Perhaps it's more complex, and it also involves the trust rating of the member's of the group. Who knows.

- How high can a member's base title be without a prefix? Would it be possible to increase your base title due to trust without meeting the requirements for one of the prefixes?

There are a few "mythic" members no sub title in there at all but I don't know how they did it...

I feel like groups do help in increasing your trust but just by a small amount so no uber ranking can be done.. I think that the more you use the site to it's benefits the more "trust" you earn so that means if you have a big group, then you will probably get rewarded for it.

  • 05.14.2010 5:36 AM PDT

I think its maybe how much you post and how many bans or warning you have reacived thou getting on every day helps out and about the groups it could affect you very little again i'm not to sure

Just wondering, because I've been here for over 9 months (on this account at least :D) and was wondering why I haven't ranked up yet.

I wasn't active for a few months and got two warnings 5-6 months apart from each other, one was my fault (old one), and the other was accidental as confirmed by PM from a mod (recently).

Both the inactivity and warnings have something to do with it. First you have to make up for the months you were gone, and then you have to work off the warning. The warning probably has no effect any longer as those appear to be easy to recover from. I got my title back after my warning within a month. It's that time of inactivity that is probably hurting you. Just log on daily and be active and your member title should go up eventually.

Also, I got Heroic a bit before my first Bnet birthday. I'm guessing that if you manage to work off that time of inactivity you will be promoted around your one year anniversary.

Yea, that makes sense. It's still all a big mystery, but we're trying to make sense of it one way or another.

Don't worry Bahh, you'll get it back if you try. Also who ever said it was an equation: Trust Points/(times banned/time after ban): That wouldn't make sense e.g. 2000TP/(2/10); that'd be like multiplying 2k by 5. So we can all cross that off our list. My advice would be to stop wonderin' how the title system works and focus on being a better member.
