Has anyone else wondered how the categories are assigned: e.g. senior, fanatic, ambassador, etc?

I have no complaints about it and am just curious?

I looked around a bit and didn't see any info about it.
 
Number of posts, category assigned automatically.
Similar system is on other forums, as well.

I have wondered about it as well. I deduced that it seemed to correlate with the number of "messages" a person has.

It would be interesting to see a list of the category/ranks and the number of messages associated with being in that category.

Sometimes I don't get the progression like you are a Veteran, then an Enthusiast. I think. That seems backward to me.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. There are people on here that have a massive amount of posts that have the worst advice and I would never want to share a camp with, and there are people on here with a lot of valuable knowledge and seem like a lot of fun with relatively low posts.

But it would be interesting to see it written out just to know.

I believe it is a combination of posts with favorable responses you can easily see recorded for each member. For example just because a member posts a lot does not mean that member moves up in classification. The responses that member gets to their posts matters a lot.
 
If it’s the combination of posts and responses, I bet it’s an interesting algorithm…though I don't even understand basic algebra so having that information wouldn't be much use for me.

Does anyone know the complete order of rankings?
 
There’s an old post somewhere, but it’s like:

New Member 0-50 posts
Member 50-75 posts
Senior Member 75-100 posts
Veteran 100 posts
Enthusiast 250 posts
Fanatic 500 posts
Elite 1000 posts
Legend 2000 posts
Ambassador 5000 posts.

I think reactions factor in, but I don’t remember how.

@BRICKBURN knows

Boy did you hit the nail on the head there.

See:

 
If you post interesting factual stuff about guns and hunts you advance to the next level. If you post nonsense on the politics thread you go back down.
Politics thread is the worst on the forum, and it has this "join the dark side, my son" appeal. Plus many other crap. I must admit, I get dragged there by gravity on occasion and in my weak moments.

Like the Borg alien syndrome from Star Track.

Some interesting threads hunting related have been deleted, yet this one survives. I dont know why. We are here for hunting passion. Not for political debate.

@BRICKBURN
For your attention. ;)

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
