Explaination of Member Ratings in Forum Rules

[Penguin]

Why is it that whenever I see somebody's posts, under their name it always reads something like this.

I can never seem to understand what this system of ranking members based on the value of transition and rare earth metals (lanthinides to be exact) is all about.  Is it a karma system?  Or is it a demonstration of senority?  I would really like to know why, and for what purpose it exists.

It goes by post count. When you hit a certain post count, your stars go up.

[Enker]

It tells the reader how little life a person has, thanks to a simple glance at the post count. The more rare of the metal, the less of a life the person has.

So when you see someone with a lot of stars below their handle you know.

A either they have been here forever.

B They talk a lot.

It helps us understand why someone posts a general question in the wishlist forum. 

[Penguin]

This is actually a wish.

It is a wish for it to be posted in that sticky post up top at the top of every forum, to make things easier to understand for the new guys .

[FLS]

I think they reserve that for important stuff.

B1. They talk a lot about everything

B2. They talk a lot about nothing (spam)

 

Totally!

No one wants to hear what you have to say Zinc... see I can degrade you because I'm copper...

  Only kidding, don't look too much into the numbers, there are people who post a ridiculous amount of post on here just to get more stars (I won't say any names, but a "formidable rival or opponent" comes to mind).  To put it nicely, the stars and metals reflect "how much you have contributed to the Aces High community"
