@SurferWife Congratulations! You'll have a long time to adjust to your exalted new title. I've had it for as long as they've used this format. I'm not sure there's anything higher. You may have maxed out.

With your 63,000+ posts, I'm guessing they no longer have the last three levels.

This is just another one of those useless trivia topics...LOL!

Okay, that is not right. I have posted hundreds of times!

@SurferWife I agree, I don't think they use the last three titles, although I did see a post by a woman with a title that wasn't on the list. I asked the mods about it but of course they never responded.

Yikes, my post was too long (yes, too long even for me!😉🙃), so I removed it and I'll post it in 2 parts for those who might be interested.

We've had numerous threads about this over the years.😊

The Community forum is a prepackaged platform used by a number of sites, and these "rankings" are just a part of that package.

The Q Community doesn't use them all, and as others said they're not very meaningful or useful.

The software algorithm in general uses a combination of:

number of posts; number of hearts given/received; number of page views; and in some cases sites use number of signins.

This explains why someone might have zero posts but a higher so-called "ranking" than someone with a few posts... that sort of thing.

In 2019, I finally spent some time (yes, I had too much time on my hands!) with searches on the User file and created this list of all of the designations we see (and some we don't see) here on the Q.

The list (in my following post) displays the ranking title and then the range of post counts (at the time of my searches) by our current users who have that ranking.

(Note: I just now randomly checked a few of these, and for the most part they've remained basically the same.)

(Today, 5/1/23, the range is 8,008 - 126,392)

These appear to be used on other forums but not here at the moment based on my searches:

New Visitor

no results

Outstanding Contributor
no results
Acclaimed Contributor
no results
Exalted Contributor
no results

no results

And that is more than anyone might ever want to know about this topic.😊

I just figured since I calculated them it might be interesting to copy/paste here -- and the next time anyone wonders about a particular designation, perhaps this will help answer any questions!

Hope all of you are doing well!❤️

I'm still having trouble catching up, but I've been trying to pop in when I can.❤️

I was at one time "honored". The IT department decided to Upgrade(?). Next thing I know I am a New Member. Felt like the King of the Hill, and then that Hill disappeared on me. 😢

@SurferWife

Congratulations! Since it is kiss the ring time, perhaps you should purchase brand new and sparkly bling to adorn your finger!
