Okay, I believe this is the relevant area to post this, I apologise if I'm mistaken.

I'm currently a "Neophyte Undergoing Surgeries", apparently. I believe this is known as a Dakka Ranking, or something similar. What does this mean? Furthermore, I believe the longer you've been on this site, the "higher" this rating gets. Is this correct? if not, does this rating change? And how? Finally, what do these rankings actually do? Do you get access to other parts of the site, or is it just a decoration thing?

Thanks all.

It's just an extra thing for flavour, it changes depending on your post count.

It doesn't do anything aside from look good. The higher your post count the higher up the heirachy of your chosen track you go. I started out as "conscript with a flashlight" or something and now i'm a smegging Leman Russ commander.

If you want to change your rank track go to your profile page, click the "Click here to edit your profile." under your avatar and look for the "choose a ranking track".

There I was, thinking I could go to this special section about the HH....

DCM's also have the option of using a custom rating (as well as access to extra forums and a few other perks).

Ok, thanks all.

Yup, this is why I've been Sorry for Party Rocking for a few months now.

Become a DCM because YOLO!

You can be anything you want! DCMs have the ultimate power!

No, that'd be Yak and Lego.

All hail our fascist overlords!

We are only the humble vessels of their divine digital expressions.

Yak and lego are the hand, we are the word

For we sit at the left hand of the Admin, we are their shield. The Mods are the sword of our Lords, whom cut the hearts out of the Warseers, renounce Heresy online in the world, but without the DCMs, the Masters of DakkaDakka would crumble to the ringing of the Bell of Lost Souls, we protect them from the assaults of Bolters and Chainswords, the Blood of Kittens, and the Ruinous powers of Games Workshop Lawyers.

We are the Dakka Contributing Members and we do not falter.

That was rather stirring Alf... I feel a solitary tear welling in my left eye.

Bloody DCM cult

Where do I sign up?

If deemed worthy, you shall be... contacted.

I rather think that that would make a nice optional pledge whenever someone elects for DCM membership.

No one ever reads the T&Cs when they sign up for stuff. Be easy enough to fit that in a paragraph or two down.

Provided that there isn't a few dozen legal statements along the lines of all users being stuck on the Mandatory Dakka Organ Donorship service hidden in there already...

Don't worry, I already checked.

There are.

How else would Lego fund his cyborg army?
