I think there are categories determined by the number of posts one has made. It seems to be a feature of the forum software. A bit childish in my view, but nobody pays any attention to it so it doesn't actually matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is just that if I enter my profile page I see "rank molecule" while in the left bar it is said "Retained quark" and in the posts "quark" appear. A bit curious about.

I pay little attention to that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems only the posts in the sciences' forums count for the rank. I have many posts in the Speculations forum so it makes sense to remain as "quark". I just got curious because at the profile page "quark" appears under the "Retained" title and I just stood wondering if I would have been retained because of something and what that would mean, just that. Just to mention, these posts I published in this forum didn't augment the number of posts appearing in my posting remaining in 600 for now.

martillo Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Seems to me now that the category associated to a member (displayed just below the nickname) is more related to the net number of likes received than the number of posts made and curiously negative ones count the same as positive ones...
