I don't think kudos received has much to do with it as some of the super contributors have under 1500 received and a low percentage of posts to kudos. To me anything over 20% is good because that means much of what you say is of some value.

Best I can telll the rankings are primarily based on # posts and minutes on-line. You need a certain minimum posts and minutes on-line to get to the next level. Others posters have presented data indicating # of sign-ins may be a factor as well. Kudos is not a factor nor is time since 1st sign-in. [system glitch on 7/22/2016 reset minutes on line dropping rank for many posters.]

A breakdown of minimum posts (and minutes on-line) for each rank is shown below. Not much data on sign-ins. [note: visitor rankings appear to follow the same QTY for posts as member rankings].

Added column with potential minimum on-line minutes based on glitch data. "Tested" thresholds for Established Member, Valued Member, New Contributor, Contributor, Regular Contributor and Frequent Contributor. [On-line minutes threshold over 3600 for Established Contributor per my data and feedback from SJ. On-line minutes threshold for Valued Contributor is around 8000 per Elim feedback]. Legendary threshold added 1/2018 based on Robert EG rank change.

Added column for sign-ins. Sign-in data reported for new member, established member and new contributor ranks

@seattletravels, the above chart is speculation... only the admins know the algorithms for ranking up (not even the moderators have the info).

I can add that just glancing at the chart it's an admirable attempt, but based on what I've seen over the years the figures should be taken with a grain of salt. 

I'll also add that it's public knowledge (as in, available via Google) that on Khoros communities the cut-off numbers for determining ranks are almost never even numbers.  This is done to further obfuscate the algorithm to prevent gaming (which IMO is quite effective).
