(How is an Enthusiast 2 levels above Explorer?) Those bunny boasts are proving themselves. Guess I'll have to settle for ... the view is good from behind.

Has nothing to do with the length of quit. I read up a little on the ranks and badges. They're included with the newest invision software update. And yes @d2e8b8, they have nothing to do with time quit. They're to encourage participating on the boards. P.S. I wonder if I get more points for quoting AND tagging...🤔😂
June 27, 20215 yr @Doreensfree, good to be childish sometimes . Plus I kind of enjoy pulling bunny's leg as she feels comfortable to play along

And see I did the quote and tag thing too . 2 promotions in 1 weekend, feeling dizzy. Only regret is the explorer didn't last long enough to explore too many brave new worlds ... but Promotion Gods please don't demote me, trying hard to catch up to bunny.

June 27, 20215 yr Author @d2e8b8, these are the first promotions I've had in years 😂😂 Oh wait, I forgot about my promotion to moderator here 😊
June 27, 20215 yr I love the badges and I’m glad to see that everyone is having fun with them. So many people tend to take those things too seriously. Like, do or die kinda serious. Anyway, my question is what happens when we all are top level and have no more badges to earn? 19 minutes ago, jillar said: these are the first promotions I've had in years 😂

Congratulations on becoming an Explorer. Well Done. Please get on the Enterprise quickly before they promote you again. Edited June 27, 20215 yr by d2e8b8

For all we know the prize might be getting another handle so we can play all over again. (btw I can't get over the fact that I'm at the same level as @Doreensfree who's a Moderator with 3 years longer quit and almost 28.5k more posts - something is wrong with this picture).
June 27, 20215 yr I might get left behind ....cos it's my bed time ...so I'll have to post plenty tomorrow...😀👍
June 28, 20215 yr You were right @d2e8b8! I am a Contributor now and I MISSED the Enterprise! 😞 I wanted a ride.

I guess in a way the logic makes sense that recent posts count more than total posts or quit duration. The site is trying to gauge your value to the board so even if your quit is alive and healthy, it's no guarantee that ... umm, I mean .. other aspects of the quit are too.

No, I don't think that's it. The badges and ranks are part of the invision community update, not a quittrain update. Here's from the infusion community help forum: One of the overarching goals for any community leader is to shine a bright light on your members. Their contributions should be publicly recognized. Now with Invision Community’s new Achievements system... you can! Achievements is Invision Community’s native gamification system baked into our latest update, 4.6. We’ve dreamed up innovative actions for community leaders to publicly recognize members who show up and participate in meaningful ways. Award Points and badges based on conditional Rules!

But that's why only posts since the update are being counted. Our lengths of quit don't have anything to do with it. Its all about the posts from what I've read 😊
June 28, 20215 yr Good to know @jillar. I would have hesitated to call my comments on this thread "participation in meaningful ways" but I'll accept it . Will be interesting to see where the gamification (learnt new word) system will take us (didn't want to look and find out ahead of time - it's about the suspense and mystery).
June 28, 20215 yr So, I guess suddenly, I am a rookie? What was I before? Rookie sounds about right. I am more impressed, and quite surprised, that I have won the day several times already. I am super competitive, but The reality is that I am a newbie, with 6 weeks under my belt, so don’t expect or deserve to move up the ranks any time soon.
