So, if someone clicks my profile my badges appear? Let's try you're profile. You have exactly the same merits i have? What?

Understand it? I don't understand it, that's why I posted a question (in the Structure section). :lol: The page I linked first explains briefly what each of the badges are for but some make zero sense at all.

Yeah, Like MB's section I have a lot posts, but no merit badge. This Forum is becoming a question of how your badge situation is. The nOOBs may be PMing me asking about the 'badge merit system'. I'm going to look for you're thread.

Same situation here. Honorary veteran --> regular.

Surprised, even disappointed, but lacking the time to be bothered by it. Only skimmed a few pages, but the reaction here is understandable... If this change had been back when I lived in Graphics...ouch.

The veteran members were given approximately .33 (maybe less) points for prior posts to this new member ranking system. I know it took years to have thousands of posts. So going from Honorary veteran --> regular is worse, but barely than the 6000 points it will take you to become a (points) veteran now. You have almost half what is needed (2800+) for all you have contributed. All of this revamping of the member rankings is confusing. I see you were awarded the gold Admiral designation. Pinch me. We have figured out that anyone with a join date of like 1970 has the Gold Admiral distinction. No one has much of an idea what the merit badge in individual sections means. You have to accumilate a lot of best answer distinctions. Basically the nOObs get like 200 points for creating an account and posting a message. Then if they start more threads like, 'Help! My system is on fire!'' a nOOb can accumilate 6000 points is like six hours. Makes sense.

I think you and SS should check your control panel (click on new avatar and choose 'more'). Creating a new Avatar probally made you a Gold Admiral in the area of Avatar Creation.

I think we have made some progress with all this protest. We have the lame Admiral thing to show for our efforts. The French tech guy must have been taken as a witch by mistake. Maybe not. His deformity is a reflection of the new member ranking system.

Edit due to potential fire caused deformity.

The French, besides being a nation of universally recognized rude people as well as a product of an indignant socialist society and without provocation showing and ongoing hatred for America and individualism, will never compete with us where cutting edge technology is concerned. Don't take the writer's embellishments personal if your are from a socialist country who hates Americans and knows nothing about running a cutting edge tech forum. Four points.

Yeah, I was within 20 posts of having 7900 Forum master. I couldn't believe it when I became a Regular from there. I would make a guess that during the entire history of Tom's hardware only 30-50 members have reached 7900 posts Forum master. Ha, much less the point totals of you guys. Like SS, Pauldh, JDJ, GGA and a few others. Now I know where you got Strangestranger from. Number 1 with emphasis.

I say fewer than 50 members have ever reached this number of posts or more.
