I'm a newbie too, apparently. I've only been a member since 2008, but if it means I'm getting younger then I'll it as a compliment! 😎

Correction, this post appears to have turned me into a rookie!

 

 

  

I feel your pain, that's not much to show for 15 years diligent effort😃 another few decades and you may have a firm grasp on the lower-middle rungs!

 

Or more likely, the algo is still trawling through the dbase and you have several future promotions 'in the bank'.

Top 3%?

I'll take that, thank you very much.

🙏

I think it is. I'm contemplating resetting it and having it recount from scratch though.
You may recall I first enabled this in 2021, and then we binned it (due to the uproar) mid-count. I'm wondering if it never really finished and isn't actually accurate.

I think you should reset it at random

Or better still, reset it at random times for random people

The great reset! 
 

I say start everyone from Nil today.

 

Maybe Medieval rankings, from Serf to King.

 

Then we could have ranks like Monk and Knight and Fair Maiden, I can see myself as a Monk devoid of possessions, with a strange haircut 🙃

Well let's hope that one or two folk can get past rank 6 (of 14) in coming days, as the count winds up, otherwise we may as well admit that the higher ranks are a multi-generational apsiration (where one hands down one's Username to carefully selected descendants).

This can't be contemplated when I am on the cusp of greatness,  a major life highlight is unfolding as I have broken into the top 2%, yes you read that right 😄😄

I’m 6 points away from moving up from Newbie status. Oh, the thrill…the anticipation….
 

Good stuff  😁

I gave you a like to help 😉

Something has gone astray with the system Marc - how can I be grandmaster of all - yet a rookie? Was it a rookie error?😂

Ha! I see what you have done there

It's also clear that this Rank system has had the intended (of the software authors, perhaps) outcome.

Mindless dribble in the form of thousands of posts!  🤣

One thing I've noticed, though. It doesn't seem to have sparked the same amount of outrage this time around, which is no bad thing. It's only a bit of light-hearted fun, after all.

 

Me, I'm happy to stay on the lower levels. A better quality of people there, I think. Folk of honest toil, etcetera.
