Question about RANK

Hey guys, I was wondering what is your rank based on? Forgive me for going the easy route and posting here and not researching it. It seems to be based on your number of posts and not the number of good references you have. This seems strange to me. As a relatively new member I looked at someone's rank and would base trades off of it. I recently found a member that was a btown regular with way less trades than myself. Just thought I would ask. Thanks for your time.

Pretty much it, based off number of post.

it's a forum based mechanic. All of the forums i've belonged to have had a ranking system based on numbers of posts. It's the software. the numer in brackets after the name is trade ref.

Both above are correct.
Ours just uses trade related terminology because we're a trading forum.

Shayne,
Thought I saw this somewhere on the site.
Selected and edited Quote from a Nov 7, 2005 Linrandir post:
They are based on total post count. Yes, if you delete the older posts (which we appreciate but the system does automatically anyway) your ranking will not increase. If you do it, your post count stays low. If the system does it, it is considered "pruning" and the post count increases appropriately
Operating from memory...and then looking it up, we have:
New Trader (0)
Trade Novice (20)
Apprentice Trader (35)
BTown Regular (50)
Journeyman Trader (100)
Resident Trader (300)
Expert Trader (500)
Millenium Trader (1000)
These in no way reflect ITL ratings. We have the capacity, as you've seen, to supercede the default rankings with special titles.
Assume this numbers still hold. Just a bit more detail.

And staff and advertisers, as well.

I've often wondered about this as well, but never thought to ask. Always figured it was solely tied to feedback. Thanks for the clarification.
