Jon Clarke Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I note that contributors to the forum each have a little blue circular logo(?) next to their name which reveals some kind of Ranking. I ask because I note that since I left Orbx I was labelled as VIP. There was never an explanation given as what this title entailed or meant. Now I see I am demoted to Member. Who designates these rankings? Maybe someone at Orbx can explain the purpose of these rankings and the benefits, if any, that go with the title 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) For the ordinary poster I think that depends on the number of posts made, starting with "Newbie" ending with "VIP Member". There are exceptions, e. g. like Rodger became a VIP membership rewarded only recently or like you have been a VIP when you have been with Orbx. In your profile you will see the number of posts you have made so far and "Llife Member 5/6", indicating there is just one higher rank you can reach, namely "VIP Member", which is 6/6. For this you have to have 10,000 posts made, I think. The first Orbx member who had achieved this was Iain. And for each rank there is a different batch, the blue one with the rocket (?) reserved for "Life Members". Edit because of bad spelling.

So it's not actually a demotion, just a change in status, due I think to activity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
