No rank

[Havoc134]

Quick question, why do some people have no rank at all?

I asked the same question at one point, it's because they haven't posted in boards where they get post counts i.e. Realm of Calradia, King's Court, Zendar Town Square, Apprentice Guild etc. They basically dwell in the ****e called Fun Stuff.

(Sometimes Anachronists Guild though...)

i heard that, but what about the people with a recruit rank with no posts?

Can you give an example?
I've never seen it before.

 

[Havoc134]

just look at the members list.

Or give us a specific person...

I have no idea...
Is that a rare phenomenon?

I'm guessing it was before the current system or he made a post that was deleted.
2004 is a long time ago and much has changed.

Dunno then. Maybe had their posts deleted due to inactivity?

You'll have to wait for Janus.

Its not really that important, and i think it does have to do with the dates.

May i ask but who is Janus.

Telepacious - he was like that. post count reset. I think that's got to be it. either their post count was reset or they posted then deleted.

Only problem is that ther is a few hundred of them

Really, it's down to an odd quirk/bug. Everyone should start out at Recruit rank, but for some reason people instead usually start out with no rank. I've checked the forum's usergroup settings and everything is correct. I haven't really dug much further into it as it doesn't seem like too big of an issue; if the person has made no real posts, can they even properly consider themselves a recruit?

But i`m just wondering why don´t we get post count up from every post we make?(even in ex.fun stuff)
Like my profile says 7 posts, but i have made fairly over 30 or 40....( but not in the "official boards")

 

[Lamjose]

Posts in off-topic do not count towards yoour "official" post count. Basically because its way to easy to spam in off-topic.

 

[l00ller]

That´s true didn´t thought of that... But couldn´t there be a separate post count for the "non official boards"?
