Ranking system going crazy?

[#1]

@jaread83  sorry  its still a Bug grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[#2]

OH DEAR 

[#3]

Right then... digging into the settings I have the ability to turn the 'rank formula' off.

I looked at the formulas and they are incrementing in a logical way with plenty of buffer between... but this bug has gone on for long enough and I have to do something as that isn't right at all.

I will switch off the 'rank formula' on a number of higher ranks until this is resolved. Hopefully that will fix this temporarily until Lithium figure out what is going on.

[#4]

I have switched off the formulas for many higher ranks which will provide a much larger buffer between each rank. The 'aspiring' and 'seasoned' variations of the ranks can no longer be obtained but I have left the main rank formulas in place.

Please let me know if this bug is still happening? This is the only other thing I can think of to fix this temporarily - the other would be to switch off all rank formulas altogether which will be a last resort.

Posted this more to find out what rank the system currently thinks I am?   4 grades in 24 hours, I must have done something really good.  Just wish I could remember what it was.

As you can see @jaread83  I'm now a perspiring legend?  I thought you'd switched this rank off - see earlier post.

How about a 'random' rank based on birthdate; No. of posts; phase of the Moon?

Apologies for not spotting this before but your rank shouldn't be that high (its almost at the top!) and you should be set to Seasoned Champion...

@MauriceC It does seem that those of us who have been here for over 10 years, and spent years on PUG, ended up in the lower ranks

In my case I had to change my Username to MauriceC from MauriceB 'cos of a problem in the SMF forum and the history got lost in the migration.  Not bothered too much by ranking.

Rank formulas have now been disabled across the board.

I don't mind leaving you guys with these higher ranks considering the length of time you have been here. But looking at others that haven't been here for years and have 1 post.. they seem to also have been given that rank. Not many.. but I am able to see who has got the ranks.

Just had another notification that I'm a Leg end again.  Hey Ho it's a crazy world

[#12]

Looks like @nadger also got the same. Legend is a rank is the highest rank obtainable.

I have given Lithium a prod to look into this again as this is getting silly now.

@jaread83 - the system is going crazy - see pic

[#14]

The Superuser program will probably break things again

[#15]

I've gone from aspiring legend to legend after doing nothing more than checking my notifications.

(Got to go now - going to click on notifications again to see I've just become a National Treasure! )
