Yes, as you post more, your ranking goes up.
It tends to be a more senior figure from your chosen rank each time you improve.

Does it go in increments, or completely random numbers?

It starts off in about 50s, but becomes more spaced out as you progress.

It depends on the army your trying to represent. Some armies have more classes, while others have less. For example, nercons would have far less rankings, thus less name changes over your post count than say imperial guard.

That's just the public rankings though.

The true rankings are far more arcane and sinister...

As with most websites that do this, it's a minor bit of fun, and the numbers at which the ranks change are secret, so it's a surprise when it happens and people don't have incentive to spam useless posts just to get up to a known rank switchover number.

I see!, that is a good thing!

Fools, you only increase in ranking when Lego approves of it. He's the one with the big "+1" lever.

For some reason I can imagine that incredibly easily. Complete with Lego wearing a top hat whilst sitting on a big pile of everything in the world.

Thanks for the imagery Brook

Now I shall forever think of LB in his topper with goggles on the brim &c pulling levers with his hands encased in the finest Trappist and Ketchup patented leather Elbow Length gloves to operate some Fantastickal Contrapcioun, as he goes about the business of keeping Dakka's cogs well and truely oiled.

There needs to be a list of all rankings. Just for general interest

I have to agree, want to see a list of the ranks, just to see the ranks and a bit of fun ;P

Well as you level up, you can go to your profile and change your army type repeatedly to see the new rankings. That's what I do.

To quote that bit about the monkeys: As you look down you see smiling people. As we look up we see a gigantic donkey-cave.

If you go to your profile, you can choose from the drop-down and see all the different tracks. You can switch between them anytime you like if you'd like a change.

Telling people what all the ranks are ahead of time (especially the hard to get ones at the top) would kind of ruin the fun.

@OP - Also On a side note, DCM's (and Mods etc obviously) can change their title to whatever they want, (within reason) so if you see something totally wierd and think, wait, what.

Thats why.

Yeah... you would completely spoil the surprise twist at the end.

ok, well - without spoilers - can you guys tell me if there are higher ranks then "Pylon" for Necrons? Cause man, Pylons are... eh.

It's not they suck, per se, but who would WANT to be a pylon? To reiterate my previous thoughts:

"Sup, my Immorbros?"
"Oh snap! It's Pylon. Hey Immortal 010001110, you remember Pylon, right? This guy is crazy. What the hell are you up to?"
"You know, standing in this field, holding it down, waiting for a starship to fly by."
"Cool, cool. We're doing the same, really, just hanging. We're gonna go waste a few gaunts, and then do some shots with The Sanguinor later. You wanna come? It's gonna be sick. Last time, Warrior 010110 spotted this chick in the Death Company armor, and I was all like nah bro, Marines don't put chicks in armor, but he walked right over there, and was all like "the black rage could take you tommorow, you wanna go...", and he turned around, and..." oh. oh, man. Sorry. You really can't... no. Aw, man."
"Yeah, I can't walk. Or do anything else. . I'm just standing here in this field. "
"Well, that was awkward."
"Yeah, sure was."
".... Ok, well, my deep-striking Land Raider is here... that's my ride. I'm sure they'll be a ship by soon to shoot at, you know?... good luck, Pylon!"
"Whatever."

Put it this way Ouze, if you are ranked as a Pylon now with ~2300 posts, it would be somewhat strange if that were the top rank for that tree given that some posters are in the 30,000's.....

Re:Can someone explain the ranking system for this website?

fair enough.

And hey, you're a swap shop mod now? Grats!

Nice, malfred

(Ouze, I was in your spot, and I'm betting at either 2500 or 3000 you'd hit a new one... I'm not sure if the points where it changes are the same for all the tracks, but above 2000 you're definitely looking at at least a 500 post increment I think... if not 1000)

Also, I have a feeling that the top rank is somewhere around 10k posts... but it could be higher, I really have no idea. At ~2.3k you definitely have room to grow

(Not that you necessarily are/will be since you're using the custom DCM title, but you can always go back and forth)
