I'm kind of annoyed that I haven't gone up at all. Never been banned or warned, and have been active for almost a year and a member for nearly two.

By the way you worded that, it sounds like you have spent a lot of time inactive. That appears to have a strong negative effect on your trust rating.

Yeah, I didn't really get into the community until April of last year and then, I mostly lurked until September or so, when I actually started posting. But that was a long period of inactivity followed by a long period of activity, it's just surprising that the activity doesn't do anything. People who have done what is required for a status but lost it due to inactivity can gain it quicker than they were absent. It just seems like that's not happening for me, and I feel that I have met the requirements for Heroic member status.

It's not just about activity. You have to make your posts worth their while. Just remember to post with intelligence, maturity, and politeness, and you should move up eventually.

Most of your theory has already been proven or said in the main post.
Posted by: WWWilliam
I have thought up a theory, Read carefully.
Bans/Warnings effect titles but have nothing to do with the theory.

Base Title are earned by been a active member for certain amount of time.
Pre-fix Titles are earned by been a member for a certain amount of time and is currently active.



How it works in OP:
-To earn the Base Title: Mythic Member, you have to be a active member for about 2-3 years.
-To earn Pre-fix: Veteran, you have to be a Active member for 4 years.

How it works in my Theory:
-To earn the Base Title: Mythic Member, you have to be a active member for about 2-3 years.
-To earn the Pre-Fix Title: Veteran, you have to be a Member for 4 years who is Active.

Example:
I joined in 7/7/2008 but wasn't I active it till 18/5/2010 so I've been a member for 2 years but only active for last couple of months and I have: Noble Member, I am currently active and have been a member for 2 years which is required to earn: Noble, But I haven't earned a base Title because I have only been a Active Member for 2 months.

Understand?
The main point of the theory is the difference between Active Member for Pre-fix titles and Member who is Active for Base titles.


Where exactly? because I read the OP and all the links and Theory's in OP and didn't mention anything like this, And I posted this because I didn't see it anywhere else and hoping there is some truth to it and other people will understand and think hey that could be true.

My new B.net account is Grizzled Ancient. If you see him, its me.

I dont get this. I was active for over a year, never had Heroic, but got Honorable (Lost that). WIll I get heroic when I come up on my 2 year anniversary of me joining?

PS. Does anyone know where I can get my posts per day?

Base titles like Heroic and Legendary aren't gained simply by being a member here for a while. That is a major factor, yes, but you have to be active (most of all, consistently active. If you post even twice a day, every day, the system will reward you for consistency), and if you've been banned that will hurt you (since you lost Honorable, you must've been banned, so that may explain why you aren't Heroic). Just keep being active, and eventually the negative trust points from your ban/warning(s) will fade away, allowing you to more easily obtain a higher base title.

Also, you can get your PPD with a Firefox script called "Profile Stats". It's in the Scripts thread (check the "Top Topics" sidebar in this forum)

If you don't want to deal with all of those script things, which I don't, an easy way to calculate it is by going to your recent post history. Count the number of days that the 12 pages span (just go to the last page and subtract the oldest date from the newest one on the first page) and divide that number into 300. Right now, with a recent history span of 6 days, you are looking at a 50ppd.

This number is more reliable to someone like me, who has spent a large amount of time absent from Bnet.

Indeed. I think I have seen one or two elder's around here. It's not common because 1) not many people stick around for 6 years, and 2) those that have been here that long probably already qualify for Fabled or Exalted.

if ( !now ){ when(); }

There seems to be something wrong with the system.

I was a noble member, got banned, demoted to member, ban lifted, now im a honorable member. By all accounts I should be a member.

personally I think the new hawtness is old and busted, but that is for another thread..

  • 07.13.2010 9:52 AM PDT

Noble and Honorable prefixes are for being hear for a certain amount of time without getting banned. Honorable is the first one you get. I believe noble is the next. You may have been close to getting the next prefix, but since you got banned, it gave you honorable instead of having no prefix at all.

Well that's not necessarily a bad thing! But you will have to wait a little while for your Noble rank, I suggest you become a little active and post smart. Posted by: Frag Ingot

Yes, a ban effects your base title and prefixes.

Yes, a ban effects your base title and prefixes.

But does it affect those specific prefixes? They are for length of time spent on the site, not for bans or warnings.

  • 07.13.2010 2:07 PM PDT

A ban effects your title no matter what. The thing with prefixes such as elder that are different from base titles that when the ban is over it's easier to regain the specific prefix title back, but that doesn't work for all prefixes such as the ones that require you to be active without getting banned.

I think we are going to need an outside reference for this. I'm pretty sure that being banned does not affect Veteran/Elder. What would be the point of prioritizing them otherwise? As Achronos has said, it's harder to go two years without being banned than just being a member for four years.

I think it has been well established that prefixes, save the ones directly related to ban and warning history, are not linked to the trust system.

wow this system is really confusing, but you seem like you know what you're talking about. Did this thread get someone to recruit you as a master forum ninja?


No, it didn't get him to moderator. It's something he put together after that happened. Also, I just want you to know that this is a community compilation, and it is all from speculation created by various tests and observations.

LEBO is short for Lebanese, so yeah. Anyway My name is Amer Shahen (Shahen means Falcon or Eagle in arabic) lol I can't speak arabic that well. Amer is pronounced Amir just like Yusuf Amir off GTA4. I don't hate Americans either BTW.
