@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).

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

I've been at Valued for a while and I currently only have 862 log ins. I was probably in the mid 700's when I achieved the rank so it's probably in the 750 neighborhood. The post count is pretty solid as I achieved the rank right at about ~1000 - 1010 posts. I have over 61K minutes online so that shouldn't be holding me back from anything.

Can confirm for Contributor rank I just hit 75 posts and received the rank level increase, but my sign-ins are only at 81 so the sign-in number might be lower than 100

You're only at about 1200 posts, so presuming that chart is *somewhat* acurate, you're not due until about the 3k mark.

 

 Just hit "Valued Contributor" today:

1052 posts

388 signins

14000 minutes online (13973, but does *not* seem to update in real time, so I'm assuming it hit 14k)

 

There may also be a "minimum time in grade" component, to keep people from gaming and jumping rank too quickly.... because I hit 1000 posts, which is a supposed threshhold for Valued, a week or so ago, and already had the minutes online well-and-truly handled (again, presuming Thomas's research and compilation is mostly correct) but it took exactly four weeks from my previous promotion for me to get Valued.

Re: Community Ranks

Yep seems like posts may be the determining factor.

 

I'm a bit shy of of Super Contributor with sign-ons and between Senior and Super Contributor with minutes on-line.  More of a reader...and rather frequent Smiley Happy
