Funny topic. I'm sure we don't really kowtow. We don't even know one another.

Maybe in real life we or someone else is in a wheelchair.

Come on. I'm sure it was all said in jest.

@Lucky Dog ; 😊

I found the user categories discussed
And
explained on these 2 threads --looks like this
list is from there 👍:

"contributor categories"

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 all of the titles, 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.

On the Q, I'm pretty sure the changes stop at the "Honored Contributor" level. The highest post count that I've seen (looking today) is more than 127,000 and that poster is listed as "Honored Contributor."

What does "Visitor" status mean underneath our posting names mean? I have never seen this before (unless some of you have). The poster with this under their name has no posting history, no registration date. Just curious.

I have never seen a lack of registration date ever. Not even for a first post.

Can you let us know the poster nic?

stevieb · ‎03-10-2010

Interesting, I didn't recall, assuming I ever knew, that the categories when so far down as to designate various levels of 'visitor'. I do know that many of the registration dates are not accurate because when these boards were reformulated a number of years back, everyone was given the same date, which was the date the then 'new' boards were unveiled. Many posters had been posting for far longer.

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

@stevieb - since Shop Talk.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
