Ranks

[longshift]

Hi,

Just out of curiosity how does the ranks works on this board. As per my uderstanding this is the order of your rank:

Newbie->Junior Member->Member->Member of standing->Senior Member->Guru.

But than I also saw few of them have -thin ice- and BANNED. I can understand what BANNED could be for, but then again this members are still posting replies.

Would appreciate if someone can share some info on this. Or guide me where I could read more on this.

This question came to my mind as one of the very active member in Tier 1 General forum got his rank changed from Senior member to BANNED. And I saw he is still replying to threads.

Cheers

Newbie->Junior Member->Member->Member of standing->Senior Member->Guru.

Ranks such as the above are controlled by the forum software and change as the number of posts by the member increase.

Special ranks - e.g. - thin ice, banned - are controlled by administrators and moderators.

A banned member cannot log in, so any posts you perceive as being made by a banned member are in fact posts made by the member before being banned.
Members with "thin ice" rank can post but are on, let's say, a disciplinary watch-list.

Thanks longshift for asking and thanks sushdmehta for clarifying. Have always wondered about thin ice
