Hi,

I just noticed I have graduated from newcomer to enthusiast. I have been wondering for a while about those categories.

Can someone explain to me all the different categories, their description and the criterias for becoming part of one?

I would like to understand the process and how the decisions are made.

I guess my natural habit to understand the world around me

Just the number of posts you have made, at least that is how it works on all the other forums I belong to. It means nothing really just a way so show how active you are in the comunity

Then, if I understand well, the ranking goes from newcomer, to enthusiast, to aficionado, to maestro?
And it depends only on your written presence in the forums?
What if the presence slows down, and even vanishes, is it updated continuously?

It's just based on your number of posts. It's all automatic. When you have made twenty posts, you graduate from "newcomer" to "enthusiast" -- and you never go back.
