We're beta testing a member rankings system. You'll see it in each member's profile under their primary photo. This may or may not be a long term feature, so we'll see how it goes. It is mostly based on content participation...
Points are based on: Friends, group participation, forum participation, posting blogs, photos, videos, music and events, comments made on your profile and given on others, and invitations sent ... most of this is cumulative to date except invitations only counts new ones. This is all BETA so can't divulge how points are assigned just yet as I'm still toying around with it ... but it isn't a popularity contest -- the number of friends you have carries the LOWEST weighting.
The rankings are:
- Everyone is a FFN Responder to start
- At 1,500 points you become an FFN Pro
- At 2,500 points you become an FFN Veteran
- At 5,000 points you become an FFN Salty Dog
- At 7,500 points you become an FFN 5-Alarm Guru
- At 10,000 points you become an FFN Legend
- And, at 15,000, you're an FFN Superstar (no one is there yet! :)
Stay tuned for more details. This won't be hugely promoted until we see how it goes. I'll probably swap out the icons as well with something more firematic soon.
There's another feature called 'Visitor Radar' which you will see ONLY on your OWN profile -- right at the top above your name. It shows what other members have visited your profile recently. This is VERY MUCH in beta mode and may not stay because I'd like to get feedback if you even want people knowing what profiles you viewed so post away ... :) You won't see what non members viewed your profile which is usually many, many more...
Thanks
