how do you get promoted?

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

how do you get promoted?

Post by gamenovice »

sorry for the noobiness, but how would you be able to get a higher ranking in these forums?

for example, my rank is chaos rift noob, but there is a higher ranking of chaos rift junior.

so how would it work?
without code, we wouldnt have life as we know it...

I think the levels are based on the amount of posts you have / make. That's how its normally is setup (sorry, dont have the exact numbers, or all of the tittles :().


Your rank will go up if you take part in helping/chatting with the community- not that its important or anything :P.

That is exactly right. There are also a number of special ranks which can only be obtained by making significant contributions to the community (our discretion).

Your rank is much less important than the quality of the posts you make, so don't be in any rush to promote yourself. ;)

Short answer: It drives me nuts and makes it extremely difficult for me to concentrate on reading a post. If it bothers me that much I'd imagine there's at least one other person who feels the same.
