 Trooper 20
 Trooper 25
 Private 30
 Corporal 45
 Sergeant 60
 Lieutenant 75
 Captain 100
 Major 150

It serves as a quick way to assess the standing of the person who replies to you. Doesn't mean that much, I will probably give a user who's posted 25 times more credibility than a user who's only posted once.

Re: Forum Ranking system I noticed the current ranking system has been tweaked a bit from the first post. Maybe somebody can update the chart?

What do you think? Are we going to war with the other SCADA systems? Looks like a good starting point. Based on my experience with other forums, you'll probably have to adjust or you'll end up with too many Generals in the ranks. Or just add stars to the generals with doubling the number of posts each time until you reach 5 stars (300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800).

Re: Forum Ranking system Yeah, especially since right now it looks like the ranks aren't quite set up correctly. I went to look at how many Generals we currently have (not counting IA people), and found 12... but only 6 have more than 300 posts. Looks like the ranks are currently at Major-100, Colonel-125, Major-150. So... should we add new, multi-star Major levels, or should I adjust them and demote some people? Oh, and going to war with other SCADA systems? Maybe... but the less exciting explanation is that the guy who came up with it was headed off to the Navy and probably had Ranks on the mind...

Re: Forum Ranking system Good thing he didn't use navy ranks, nobody understands those. I like the doubling of posts to get another star. Of course that means I'll have to post a whole bunch of trivial posts just to be the first one to get a second star

Re: Forum Ranking system It seems a bit on the low side to me... Most forums' top contributers are way up there. Maybe something like: Cadet 0 Cadet 15 Trooper 30 Trooper 45 Trooper 60 Trooper 75 Private 100 Corporal 200 Sergeant 300 Lieutenant 500 Captain 750 Major 1000 Colonel 1500 General 2000
