Membership classification
-
I was looking at my profile as well as profiles of pioneers of this website like Maunder, Graum et al. What stuck me was the classification of members into various categories such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. What is the need of such classification? Does it invite any rewards or does this mean that a person has a vast amount of knowledge which he/she can advertise through membership status. What is the method of classification for users reaching silver, gold, and platinum status? A very :confused::confused::confused: v1i9n6o7d

It really means one of two things. Either the member has been a member for quite sometime (the time scheme is at the bottom of the page) or that the member has submitted a great many number of articles in a short period of time. Other than that no. There are however alternate classifications. The much coveted CP-MVP, the defender, admin and so on. though one or two of these classifications have become defunct.

There is an description of the different membership levels at the bottom of the profile page.

Yes, I paid my weight in Gold to be awarded the gold status. Everyone knows I am one of the least vocal members here, having only a minor post count.... compared to a few...
