This system is more retarded than it started. What in the world are you doing?More retarded than when it started?
The original calculation was "divide account age in minutes by 77777 then divide by 5". It's far better than it used to be. Read the emboldened text near the start of the OP.I saw. The effort to add in a title value is the thing that throws me - it makes absolutely no sense. Intrepid requires several thousands posts to achieve, Fabled even more. So his arbitrary judgement that it's 'fairly easy to achieve' despite the fact that Fabled ranks just below Exalted is just plain silly. The fact he added in an average ranking as well makes anyone with Fabled get a low ranking. More than a bit silly.
So, I qualify for everything except Exalted (in the usual definition of Noble being two years clear of bans, I don't qualify for that, but anyway), yet averaging it out gives a rather low value. It would make more sense to forget averaging or give a far higher value to Fabled, bearing in mind that being a Fabled Mythic Member is second only to being an Exalted Mythic Member.
Not to mention using bans as an absolute rather than a relative value is curious. The longer you've had an account, the more likely you are to have had a ban, and after a while bans stop meaning as much in both how harshly you're moderated for an offence and in trust rating. Thus, relative rather than absolute.
The original calculation was silly, but a bit of fun. This is in depth but stupid.
