I have an account over two years old with no bans or warnings, that one is a 'Member'. All it lacks is a post count more than one or two pages long.
It's not just account age. Login frequency (or more frequency of not logging in) is just as important.
Yup. I figure it's age + login frequency with a small component of bans/warnings that may restrict you from 'ranking up' for a while (but eventually go away).

Why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain?

It's a whole lot of different things added together by the automated trust program thingy i think. Bans, times logged on, Posts, Years, Polls maybe. Probably more.

Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

it seems that the titles are also based on a member making a requisite number of posts over the life of the account, and points are decreased based on bans and warnings.

provided that an account is sufficiently old, has made sufficiently many posts (this appears to be a pretty small number), and has not received too many bans or warnings, then it will have some sort of title other than 'member'.

the titles appear to based on a formula, and since the folks at bungie do not have the means to quantitatively assign points based on qualitative content, the formula for member titles is likely to be fairly simple (not involving too many variables) and fairly straightforward.

ifyou want to gain a title, then open an account, post from time to time, and do not get banned. it appears to be just that simple.

I don't think that matters. Signing in here is the same as signing into xbox.com (Winows live)

my guess is that your post count is below the requisite values for legendary. you have only 6 pages of posts during the life of your account. of the 3 main variables (that i merely suppose are in place), you are lacking in one area. you have the accpunt age, you have no marks against you for bans, but you do not have many posts.

if you wanted to, you could perform a bit of an experiment. you could make markedly more posts and track your member title.

mayb luke just wants us all to go crazy thinking over this so we stay off XBL so he can rank up faster?

  • 02.18.2008 11:44 AM PDT

I Belive You May Have Just Failed.
Year may play some part but the specific requirements have never been released, and never will. However i think it's something to do with a trust system(?), posts/helpful posts good behaviour and no bans/blacklisting. We will never know.
PROOF for year theory: I'm Heroic and i joined in october '07, i don't get it but still i think that disproves you?

So, that's 3 1/2 years.

Its probably some component of time, with a little about the post count, minus something proportional to the number of bans/warns and a little dash of login frequency.

Maybe Anchronos will enlighten us one day.

maybe he will, but i doubt that it is anything mysterious. it is an automated system, which means that post quality is ignored. there may be more factors, but what factors can you imagine being involved other than the 3 we have all discussed (account duration, post count, instances of discipline)?

i am curious: do the same kinds of discussions take place when titles are used in other forums? i know that mlg has used them for years, and i suspect that there is some sort of industry standard involving the 3 variables that we all keep addressing.

thank you for bringing up your account history and member title. your account shows how meaningless member titles are.
your account is about 4 months old and has fewer than 10 pages of posts. looking at your posts, most of them are only one sentence long, and more than a handful of your posts contain merely the word 'bump.'

heck, it looks like the majority of his posts involve him making a community screenshot and then making a few bumps before he starts a new one, and then making a few bumbs before he starts a new one, an on and on.

since this guy's account has earned a title, it should be even more clear that member titles have little to do with anything of use. if people love getting titles, and if people behave better in an attempt to earn them, then they have served a productive purpose.

i do not mean to say anything negative about this user, but his account follows the description that i gave earlier to 'earn' member titles. merely making (some number) of posts over (some number) of months will earn member titles.

Да?

I honestly have no idea about how the trust system works.

But I know it has to do with infractions and the time of bans.

I was not trying to brag, only attempting to contribute. I will accept that when i first joined i was more concerned about Bumping my files but now i have been in the B.Net community longer i am much less Bumpish and i try to help where i can. Sorry for not meeting your standards, I hope you can forgive me.

P.S Titles below Legendary mean nothing really.

I just thought of this, but maybe if a member has a number of successful threads, like Duardo's FAQ on member titles, or The Sage Of Halo's Forum achievements thread, it will promote their member title. So I guess that would mean number of Saved Threads. Just a thought.

  • 02.18.2008 12:57 PM PDT

@ Thing1
I think there is a a simpler solution to ranking up on the forums, but i do agree that having a successful topic like the ones mentioned may lead to a Ninja promoting you or uping you in the trust system (can this be done by Ninjas?)

i meant it when i stated that i was not saying anything bad about you. you can post however you would like as far as i am concerned. but, your account shows how one would be mistaken to draw any conclusions about the value of a member (any member) and his member title.

you state that titles under legendary are meaningless. well, there is little difference between the richness of meaning of any of the titles that involve the variables previously discussed in that they all indicate next to nothing about the value of a member or of any of his posts. some people make important posts and have the title 'member', and some people make posts of no consequence who have higher titles.

how would you gauge the success of a thread? by post count? by how important you think it is to the community? this would be a hugely fuzzy variable.

what i suspect (this is mere conjecture) is that the folks at bungie have the means to add points to a member's trust ratings. that way they can influence member titles in ways that they see fit directly in some cases.

3 round bursts are always less accurate (when looking at the point of impact vs point of aim) than single shots. That is how it works with real burst fire weapons. The reason there is a burst is because it is counting on that inherent inaccuracy and spread to increase the possibility of a hit when aiming at moving targets in combat conditions.

Having the titles based solely -or- mainly on time spent in forums/amount of time a member cant be how it works/should not be how it works.

I guarantee there are people out (i have seen a few of them) there who have been in these forums for a long while yet fail to understand the general concept of intelligence.

I on the other hand am completely perfect........ :)

Just to add to my last comment:

I just found a member whose B.net join date is 10/20/2007. This member has two posts in total, both of which don't help anyone in any way. In fact, one of the two posts is dedicated to calling someone an idiot. The other post contains several blam-ed out words and poor spelling. This user is a Heroic Member. What is the deal?
