Content Contributor - Gold - Silver - Bronze

I noticed the new contributor status on our profiles. Was just wondering what the formula is to achieve the different status'.

I also noticed the post bar count s gone. I like the changes and feel it will make people strive to attain the different levels.

I'm sure you are going to post an explanation, I was just curious.

Kepp up the good (coding) work!!!!

Was wondering the same

Me as well, I really like mine. It was an odd surprise, when I logged on and saw that..lol.. Thanks staff at ATS

Similar query here.... what makes me a Novice? Just curious.

I'm entirely confused on this.

In the last 15 minutes, some of my posts have said gold contributor, while others say nothing.

Is my title changing, or are these post independent?

May I have mine taken off, please?

It appears that the coding is being implemented now as we speak. I have noticed some quirks with the board recently and it seems changes are coming as the code is being implemented.

I think its a great idea, I just noticed the "novice" tag, I wonder how many tiers there are.

Edited to add I just noticed a "solid" tag.

I think staff are working on the new look/script as we speak.

I'll wait for my "mass U2U" before commenting.

edit: I just went from "novice" to "solid" contributor...woo, hoo (I think)

I see

Novice
Bronze
Silver
Solid

I too am interested in the exact formula.

By the way, the OP is the only one I have seen without the new title lol.

Sit tight guys, you know Bill will be along shortly in this thread or in an announcement of his own to explain everything in great detail.

Announcement thread coming soon... stand by.

Frightening. A badge of wasted time on the internet.

Easy for a "Gold Starrer" to say.

Lol, just kidding, I know you are right, SO is always quick with the explanations.

Gee I see SO made himself a Gold.

Jane Elliott - Green Eye / Blue Eye experiment.

People should take a look at that before digging in too deep with this new concept. I'm already cringing that the thought of our members creating a hierarchy of members based on these titles. A title to award our efforts should not be a title that segregates.

Please fight that tendency to pass judgment on a member based on these titles.

That's pretty condescending. How can you call contributing to valid alternative topics which are covered nowhere else in this much detail, and being recognized for it as a waste of time?

I think this is a great step forward and will encourage quality discussion.

I don't have one, does that mean you have wasted more time on the internet than I do?

Yeah, it originally said UBER SUPREME CONTRIBUTOR, we made him change it...

I think you're taking it the wrong way.
It's not a personal attack on anyone.

well it looks as if I have to up my quality around here a few notches to rid myself of the shame of being a bronze level contributor. :shk:
